Show & Tell Rabbit

What You Will Need:

2 Fat Quarters (I used 3 for an additional coordinating fabric, but you only need to 2 for the

pattern pieces)

Rabbit Pattern found HERECoordinating Thread

Stuffing

Lets Get Cutting:

Cut all pattern pieces as directed

Lets Get Sewing:

For all of my seam allowances, I used anywhere from to for this project. I know, very

small. But I wanted to be sure to cut down on gathering / bulk fabric when sewing the curves.

Adjust seam allowances as you see fit.

Furthermore, I presses every seam after sewing.

Taking 2 of the body of the bunny pieces, sew the belly into the curve of each piece (right sides

together of course). See Photo:

Take this time to sew on the eyes, I used a darker thread and did a few back and forth numbers

with my machine. I had a weird decorative stitch on my machine that was able to do this for me.

Dont have one and dont feel comfortable with your free hand? Substitute buttons for eyes! Be

sure to put them in the same spot on both sides of the head! Lol

Now, with rights sides together, sew the front of the face together, stopping at the position of

your eyes. Sew on the nose using the same technique. (Once again, feel free to substitute a

button here).

Being sure to close the triangle ears opening, overlapping the top by approximately , sew the

rest of the head closed, leaving neck open. Back and forth stitch the triangle area to secure.

side as the belly. Match raw edges of head and neck and pin together. Sew around the circle

Turn bunny right side out through opening hole in bunny back. It helps to grab the ears out first.

To help get all of the legs and arms out, I used a knitting needle, sticking it inside the hole.
