Bunny Sachet Bag Sewing Pattern

Posted on Last updated: /

As of today, 4th February 2011, we have officially entered into the Year of the Rabbit (according to the Lunar Calendar). This adorable Bunny Sachet pattern is my way of welcoming the New Year with joy. For those who aren’t celebrating this festive season, don’t fret! I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone by rolling out this sachet in bunny pattern earlier for you to create for Easter

Free Bunny Sachet Bag Sewing Pattern and tutorial to sew bunny sachet. Turn it into great gift for any special occasion, or just be your own personal amenity.

Like many other religious festivals, Easter has its fair share of longstanding traditions along with activities catered to children. Some of these include going to Easter Sunday church services, organizing Easter egg hunts, decorating baskets of eggs, eating chocolate rabbits, attending Easter parades, and much more. Another typical tradition is feasting with family and friends with a table full of delicious dishes and bunny-shaped desserts. Holiday traditions are what keep a family together. Time to gather your loved ones and involve your children in fun art & craft activities to kick-start the spring season!

I managed to make a dozen of these little sachets in under an hour with a reasonable amount of time spent taking photos for the step-by-step instructions. Hence, if you were to make it without the extra work, I’m sure you could get it done quicker than I did. Slide in a quick craft session before your child wakes up in the morning, while you have some free time in the afternoon or even right before bedtime!

There are many ingredients that you could use to fill your bunny sachet for various purposes. In this case, I wanted to place my sachet in a glass bottle of metal notions. Hence, I filled it with silica gel in bead form and turned them into desiccant bags to absorb moisture. The silica bead will help control the humidity in the glass bottle while protecting the metal from oxidation and degradation. Where to get these moisture sorption beads? Usually, you will find these small packs that come with food, leather goods, electronic products, etc.

As mentioned, apart from using this bunny sachet sewing pattern as home décor, you could fill it up with other ingredients for different usages. Here is a list of what you could do with it:- 

  1. Potpourri: Scented Sachet
  2. Dried Chamomile & Lavender flowers: Sleep Pillow Sachet
  3. Rice/Wheat/Herbs: Heat bag (To be heated up in a microwave oven) 
  4. Activated carbon/charcoal: Shoe Freshener 
  5. Silica Gel: Desiccant bag for cabinet, storage box, drawer, leather bags, and more
  6. Sand: Paper Weight, or door stopper/book-end stopper if you enlarge the bunny sachet sewing pattern

The making of this easter bunny sachet is relatively simple. You’ll need some leftover or new fabric as a “holder”, ingredients for the sachet filling (see samples above), lace, yarn, ribbon, or cord to tie up the sachet, and lastly, you can decorate the bigger bunny sachet by using some fusible web & embroidery floss. As for the tools, you’ll need a sewing machine, sewing kit, iron, printer & letter size paper, pencil/fabric market, and blunt point tweezers. While this free sewing pattern will teach you to use a sewing machine to piece the fabrics together, you do not necessarily need one. You can complete the project by hand sewing as well.

Once you have all that ready, print out the free sewing pattern provided below to get started. From there, all you need to do is tracing the bunny pattern onto your fabric, cut it out and sew away. Remember to leave a small opening on the side so you could fill in the ingredient of your choice. Then, sew the bunny together and finish off the top by tying a ribbon. 

Since this is a simple craft, you may try out something more challenging by sewing this sock bunny sewing pattern as a stuffed bunny toy or crochet bunny pendant as a bag accessory. 

With this bunny sewing pattern, I hope you have a great time creating something meaningful for friends and family this Easter. Happy sewing!

On step 7 after embroidering the face it then says to cut fabric. I am not sure what that means. Do you mean cutting the fabric on outer edge of the face then iron the face on the bunny?

Droopy Ear Sock Bunny • Free Sewing Pattern | Craft Passion

Saturday 1st of August 2020

[…] I have made quite a lot of sock tutorials of different sock animals earlier; check out sock monkey, sock sloth, sock beaver, sock kitty and even sock skeleton for all the fun we can have with stuffed socks. Making BiBi is no different – so if you had fun with all of them, you will definitely enjoy making BiBi, the droopy-eared sock bunny. For one thing, BiBi is different because its ears droop, so it looks like it is always ready to listen to what you have to say. You will feel less lonely – on the window sill as a decoration, on your side table beside your children’s bed or even on the car dashboard – BiBi can keep you company. You can also try making a BiBi bunny sachet like this one here.  […]
