Sock Bunny {Droopy Ear Version} Sewing Tutorial

Materials:
Make: 1
1. Sock (crew length, with folded cuff or with long cuff), 1
2. Buttons (as eye) 3/8″ [10mm], black, 2
3. Embroidery Floss, Pink
4. Ribbon / Lace, Pink, and some embellishments
5. Poly-fill stuffing material

Tools:
1. Sewing machine
2. Sewing needle (prefer long) and pins
3. Scissors
4. Erasable fabric marker
5. Iron

Seam Allowance: approx. 1/8 – 1/4″

Note:
Since the sock is stretched after stuffed, thick sock yields better quality than thin sock.
You may add beads or rice to make the bottom heavier so that it can sit properly. Add the rice or beads in a small sachet and insert it into the body before closing up the opening.
Otherwise, you may add a string on it’s head to hang it up. Pinch the head and lift it up to find a balancing point to add string to hang.

    Love this funny. It’s so cute. I’ll sure try making it later.
    I’d also like to share with you an old sock project I made before. It’s a panda. This was actually the first doll I made with socks. Hope you like it too. :)

    Hi there was just wondering if this pattern can be used for commercial use, its not stated on the pattern itself and the copyright of the page only copyrights the content listed here but not the pattern itself, was rather confusing. :( I dont want to steal something so just thought I would ask :D
