A Quick Little Fleece Stuffed Bunny in an Easter Basket Pocket Pillow

Easter will be here soon and it's now or never for sewing up little gifts.

With a little modification of a pattern

my Friday finish is a sweet little bunny stuffie with it's own Easter basket pillow.

This little bunny is so soft in fleece and the pillow is a soft cotton knit.

The pillow is about 12" and the bunny is almost 13" tall.

The pattern is from this Valentine stuffie bear and pillow that was created for Thermoweb.

The full FREE pattern for this bear and heart pocket pillow is available in PDF form in my Craftsy shop.

Add some ears and whiskers and you can have your own little bunny too.

For the center of the ears and the basket applique, 

new HEATnBOND® LITE SOFT STRETCH™ was used.

It's just like HeatNBond Lite only it's for stretchy fabrics like fleece or knit.

For the pillow, I traced a plate and added a 1/2" for seams and the pocket is just a half circle.

The pocket has the basket bottom appliqued behind it and the handle was appliqued too.

So easy to do and a cute little gift to whip up in an afternoon.

Today I had some happy mail.
