Created using beautiful Tilda cotton, our girlie rabbit toy is the perfect springtime playmate. Her long ears and limbs, plus an endearing embroidered face, give her plenty of character and a pretty pinafore and ribbon-embellished bloomers make her even more irresistible. Due to additions of buttons and ribbons, she’s best suited as a gift for an older child – that’s if you can bear to give her away of course!
Stitch a bunny
Fold gingham fabric in half right sides together and trace the body, arm, leg and ear shapes using the templates. Cut out from both layers leaving a 5mm seam allowance. Fold spotted fabric in half and trace the arm, leg and ear shapes only. Cut out as before.
Pair up the pieces, right sides together so that each limb and ear are made of both fabrics and the body is made from gingham only. Set the ears aside and stitch around the remaining pieces, joining points A together, then join points B together to form darts in the head and bottom of bunny. Leave a gap for turning and stuffing where indicated on the pattern.
Pin the ears to pink felt and cut to size. Stitch around all three layers leaving a gap at the base. Trim the felt as close to the stitching as possible and turn out so the ears are slightly padded. Turn out all the other pieces and press.
Firmly stuff the arms, turn in the raw edges of the gap and oversew closed. Stuff the legs and tack the tops closed. Stuff the head and close up the gap as before. Use a stitch ripper to carefully open part of the head dart seams. Make a tuck in the base of each ear and push through the seam gap. Pi
