How to make an Easter Bunny Goodie Bag
Slicing
Send the PDF to print, keeping the scale as it is, and once it’s printed, glue all the connecting red borders together to form a complete template.
Place the paper pattern pieces onto the fabric (two layers of fabric), aligning the grain line of the fabric with the arrow on the pattern.
Cut around the solid pattern line (the dash/dotted lines represent the sewing lines). Cut two pieces of fabric for each pattern piece.
Sewing
With a 1/4 inch seam allowance, sew a basting stitch (increase stitch lengths to 4 or 5 on machine setting) along the bottom “curved” edge of the EAR LINING piece (2) as shown. Do not backstitch at the beginning or end of the seam line.
Gently pull one of the loose hanging strands to gather the edge.
On an ironing board, fold the ¼” edge to the wrong side and press with an iron.
Next, line up the inner bunny EAR LINING (2) with the MAIN (1) piece with RIGHT sides facing each other. Sew the edges together with a ¼” seam allowance using a regular stitch length (no gluing) from marked circle to marked circle.
Pinch the seam allowance in the marked circles.
Turn the piece so that the right side of the fabric is facing out.
Align both sides of the MAIN BAG piece (1) with RIGHT sides together and sew the edges together with a ¼” seam allowance from marked circle to marked circle. Be sure to backstitch the beginning and end of the seam line to secure the bag opening.
Turn the piece right side out.
Carefully press the edges flat with an iron. Top stitch the bottom folded edge of the lining to the MAIN BAG piece to secure it in place.
To close the bag, tie the bunny ears in a knot.
Fill the bag with goodies and tie ears to keep the goodies inside.
Tips for the project
Bunny face style options
Personalize the bag by adding a cutout bunny face to the front.
- Embroider the eyes and nose.
- Use heat transfer vinyl or fabric paint.
- Sew on small buttons for eyes if the bag will be used as decor rather than a toy.
Different ways to use your finished project
This bunny bag looks adorable in several Easter arrangements.
- Easter Basket Alternative – Fill the bag with candies, chocolate eggs, jelly beans or small toys. Place it in a larger basket like a reusable gift bag.
- Spring table setting – Place a small bunny bag filled with Easter treats at each Easter brunch table seat.
- Easter decor idea – Use the bag as a decorative pillow on the sofa. Fill with polyester filling for a soft and fluffy accent pillow.
