Free Bunny Treat Bag Pattern

1.  Firstly, print the free pattern, and then cut it out.  Pin it to the fabric and cut out two pieces for the bag, and four pieces for the ears.

Time To Sew

2.  Secondly, pin two of the ear pieces  together and sew with a 1/4” seam allowance, leaving the bottom open, so you can turn them right-side-out.  Next repeat with the other ear.  Then, use a pen or chopstick to help you turn the ears right-side-out.  (I used linen so there was no right-side or wrong-side of the fabric, if you use something else take care to sew the wrong sides together for the ears and the bag so that when you turn the seams to the inside of the pieces the good-side of the fabric is showing.)

3.  Next, pin the bag pieces together, and sew taking special care to not sew the top, as marked on the pattern -starting and stopping about an inch and a half from the top, on both sides.  This will be where we thread the draw string through the bag.

4.  Then use an iron to press the seam open at the top, and then stitch around it, on both sides of the bag.

Add the Ears

9.  Now fold down the top of the bag, to create the channel for the drawstring.  Pin in place.  Then on one side, pin in place the ears that have been turned right-side-out already.  Next, carefully sew around the top of the bag.

10. The next step is to turn the bag right-side-out.  Now cut two pieces of ribbon or twine for the drawstring.  Thread one through each side, and tie in a knot, using a safety pin to help you thread it through the channel.

Add the Sweetest Bunny Face

11. Lastly, use the black embroidery thread to stitch an X for the mouth, and sew on the two black buttons for eyes.

Ideas on how to use your Bunny Treat Bag

I liked the rustic, soft look of the un-ironed linen, but if you wanted a more crisp look you could iron the finished bag.

I thought these would be really sweet for an Easter table.  What little girl or boy won’t want to find one of these waiting for them…or grown up for that matter.

We filled ours with Easter treats.

These would even be cute as a little purse for a little girl.

With a sweet little Linen Easter Bunny Treat Bag, life really is a party!
