Bunny Bag Sewing Pattern: Crossbody Bag for Kids with Instructions

My daughter could never have enough bags - until her beloved cat bag broke. Since she was really into rabbits at the time, I decided to make her a new one - this time in the shape of a cute bunny. This little crossbody bag is not only a charming companion, but also practical for all the little things kids like to carry around.

The rabbit is made of soft plush and its round design offers plenty of storage space without being too large. It's perfect for toys, snacks, or other little treasures that need to be close at hand. I especially like using a matching patterned fabric for the ears, drawstring and lining - it gives the bag even more character.

The Rabbit Crossbody Bag is easy to sew, but it does take some skill, especially sewing the round bottom and assembling the pieces correctly. However, if you have completed a few sewing projects before, you will be fine with these instructions.

For the bag strap, I chose to sew it on permanently, but you could also use D-rings to make the strap removable (this step is not described in the instructions). If the bag is for a younger child, I recommend sewing on the eyes and leaving off the strap.

It's just adorable how this bag becomes a little friend that looks after all the kids' treasures - essentially a stuffed animal that they don't have to carry around.

• Cute bunny design: A cuddly companion perfect for outdoor adventures or kindergarten.
• Free choice of fabrics: Plush, faux fur, minky fleece, or woven fabric-just be sure to use appropriate interfacing to keep the bag sturdy.
• Some skill required: Ideal for sewers with some experience. The round bottom and drawstring require some practice.
• Customizable: With patterned fabrics for the ears, drawstring, and lining, you can customize the bag to your liking.
