How to Make a Rabbit Bag?

Making a rabbit bag often involves sewing fabric into a simple pouch shape and adding elements like ears and a face to resemble a rabbit.

Here's a guide based on common bag-making techniques, incorporating details from the provided reference for cutting the main fabric piece.

Materials You Might Need

According to the reference, for a specific treat bag design, you can cut your fabric while it is folded.

Measure the folded fabric 8 inches wide and 12 inches tall.
When unfolded, this piece will measure 8 inches by 24 inches.
This piece will form the main body of your bag.
Cut additional fabric pieces for ears, lining (if desired), and ties. For ears, cut two sets of identical shapes (four pieces total for two ears), potentially in different fabrics for contrast.

Fold the 8" x 24" fabric piece in half widthwise so it now measures 8" x 12", with right sides facing each other.
Sew the two long sides together, leaving the top open. You can leave a small opening along one side seam near the top if you plan to add a drawstring channel later.
Finish the raw edges if desired (e.g., with a zigzag stitch or serger).
Turn the bag right side out.

Take your ear fabric pieces. Place one main ear piece and one contrast piece right sides together.
Sew around the curved edge, leaving the bottom straight edge open.
Trim seam allowances and clip curves.
Turn the ear right side out and press. You can add a small amount of stuffing if you want the ears to be puffy.
Repeat for the second ear.

With the bag inside out, decide where you want the ears to be positioned on the back or sides of the bag opening.
Pin the raw edges of the ears to the top edge of the bag body, aligning them inwards (towards the inside of the bag).
Sew the ears in place with a small seam allowance.
Create a channel for a drawstring by folding the top raw edge down about 1/4 inch, pressing, and then folding down again about 1 inch. Sew this hem down, leaving the side seams open (or creating small openings if you didn't leave them earlier) to thread a ribbon through. Alternatively, you can simply hem the top edge and use ribbon ties sewn directly onto the bag.

Once the bag is right side out, sew or glue on face elements like eyes (buttons or felt circles), a nose (felt triangle or pom-pom), and whiskers (thread or pipe cleaner pieces).
Attach a pom-pom or fabric circle tail to the back of the bag.

Thread a ribbon or cord through the channel you created at the top of the bag. You can use a safety pin or bodkin to help guide it through.
Pull the ends of the ribbon to close the bag and tie them in a bow.

Your basic rabbit bag is now complete!
