Stuffed Bunny





With Easter right around the corner, it's about time to start creating some basket stuffers! These little stuffed shapes are the perfect addition to an Easter basket, and they make and nice gift all by themselves too.

The pattern can be found at u-create.  The one there is constructed of faux chenille, and it's just darling.

I made mine from an ultra-soft, kinda furry fabric. I also made some from pink minky. I used a coupon for both fabrics, and each one cost me less than $3 to make, including the stuffing. Pretty good, huh?

Just print the pattern, cut out the shape, sew with right sides together (leaving a 3 inch opening to turn and stuff). Clip all curves. Don't skip this step. It makes all the difference in the appearance of your bunny. It makes it easier to turn right side out too!

After stuffing your shape, handsew the opening, embellish, and gift your creation to someone special!

A couple more shots of the batch I whipped up this afternoon:







Happy Monday!
