Little Bunnies and Spring Bags

They are forecasting nearly a foot of snow here this weekend. What better plan than to sew up some spring bags and bunnies. I started with the Modern Folksy Bunny pattern.

This pattern was super clear, simple, and easy to sew up. It went together really fast. You can play with the size of your bunny by playing with the scaling on your printer.

Now if you want your bunny to stand up on it’s own I would recommend filling the bottom to the bunny with dried beans before you stuff it. This will give you a more weighted base and you bunny will be more cooperative for photo shoots.

Now my bunny may be destined for little people Easter gifts, so they needed a little bag.

The full size bunny fits nicely into the large Go-to Gift bag. This bag comes with a fun slot for cards, I’m thinking for my purposes a sheet of stickers may be fun. What do you think?

After breaking out the spring fabric it seemed silly to stop at just ONE spring bag.
