I could not resist making a stuffed bunny for Harper’s Easter basket this year. What could be cuter than a little bunny made from modern designer fabric?! I started making my own pattern for the bunny and then stumbled onto Martha Stewart’s stuffed menswear bunny. I printed her pattern but wanted to add a little something to the front to make it special. I had this amazing gray and white modern fabric that works perfectly for this bunny. Read more for supplies and tutorial.

Supplies: 1/3 yard of fabric for bunny // scrap fabric for bunny ears and pocket // fill // sewing machine // fabric paint // pattern

I followed Martha’s tutorial but made a few changes to add a pocket on the front to make it extra special. Harper still loves to keep little treasures in little purses and pouches so I wanted to add a little place for her! I also simplified the face of the bunny by using fabric paint to add the eyes and nose instead of embroidery thread. I was so happy with how the bunny turned out!

Enjoy – Sara
