Variations
Make your stuffed bunny uniquely yours by experimenting with different fabrics, colors, and embellishments!
I used a lightweight but soft and sturdy opaque corduroy. Soft fabrics like cotton, fleece, or Minky are excellent choices for an extra cuddly feel.
For a more dainty look, linen or felt also work well. Or try using floral prints for an vintage-style bunny. Add other accessories ideas like a scarf, purse, or hat. You can also adjust the size by scaling the pattern up or down to create a whole family of bunnies.
For a personalized touch, customize it for your recipient with their favorite colors or the embroiderer’s initials. Tuck in a pretty card with one of these prayers for new parents printed on it. A handmade stuffed animal encourages imaginative play and reflects a heartfelt expression of love and thoughtfulness.
FAQ
Just sign up and I will send you the pattern download! Once you download the PDF file. Simply print it at home on standard printer paper and cut out the pattern pieces.
A ladder stitch (also called an invisible stitch) is ideal for closing the opening seamlessly.
Yes! You can adjust the size by scaling the pattern up or down when printing.
Tips and Tricks
Use small, tight stitches to ensure durability, especially if gifting to a child.
Clip curves and corners before turning the fabric right side out for smoother edges.
Stuff your bunny evenly, adding small amounts at a time to avoid lumps.
Hand-stitch the final opening closed with an invisible ladder stitch for a neat finish.
Experiment with different fabric textures to create a unique look and feel.
When adding embroidery, use a stabilizer to prevent fabric from stretching while stitching.
Iron fabric pieces before sewing for crisp, professional-looking seams.
Have fun! Don’t worry about perfection—handmade bunnies are meant to be unique.

These are darling! I cannot wait to make one!
Lori! OMG, thanks so much for making my day. 🙂
May I ask what fabric you used for the bunny itself? I am not familiar with it, and I love the texture to it, I purchased the bundle and can’t wait to start!
Hi Lori, I used a light to medium weight cream color corduroy. It’s best not to choose something too thin, or it may show the stuffing “lumps” a little. Have fun! 🙂
I love this the bunny and flowers are adorable.
Wendy, thank you SO much! I really appreciate your kindness! 🙂
