Fancy making some quick and easy quilted bunny bags to fill with your favourite chocolate eggs and spoil the kids (and big kids) in your life this Easter? Then I have you covered!

First step is to print out the FREE bunny bag template and attach the two pieces matching the arrows together on the template.

What you will need:

• lining fabric

• fabric for the front and back

• wadding

• thread for quilting

• basting spray (optional)

• Pom Pom Maker (optional)

Step one

• Pick your lining material - choose something fun and colourful to contrast against the plain fabric (if you choose plain!) on the outside!

• Pick your fabric for the front and back/ outside of the bag. Keep in mind this material will be quilted.

• Cut your wadding big enough to cover an extra 2 inches around the template.

Step 2

• Cut 2 lining pieces from the template

• Draw around the template on the 2 pieces of fabric for the outside of the bag

• Baste the front and back material to the wadding. (I also use a piece of scrap material on the back of my ‘quilt sandwich” when I baste these pieces as I find it gives a better quilted plushy finish - this fabric doesn’t need to be anything fancy as it will be hidden in the finished bag).

Step 3

• Choose a pattern to quilt the front and back and enjoy!

  I used the ‘Walk’ book to choose a quilting pattern and coloured Aurifil Thread to make the quilting pattern stand out.

Step 4

• Place a lining fabric right-sides together with a quilted piece and sew around the ear section with a 1/4” seam allowance.

• Repeat this step with the remaining pieces.

Step 5

• Fold back the lining fabric as shown below;

Step 6

• Place these 2 pieces right-sides together, matching the quilted sides together and the lining sides together.

• Fold the ears back and pin out of the way to ensure you don’t sew over them.

• Pin around the edge.

Step 7

• Sew a 1/4” seam allowance around the entire edge leaving a gap at the base of the lining section.

• This gap is left to be able to turn the bag inside out.

Step 8

• Use crimping scissors to trim the excess around the edge making it easier to turn the bag the right way round.

Step 9

• Pull the bag through the gap left to be the right way round.

• Use the blunt end of a pencil or something similar to help push the points of the ears through and the corners of the bag.

• Sew the gap up.

• Carefully push the lining into the inside of the bag

• Give a gentle press with a cool iron.

Step 10

• For added cuteness, make a pom pom for the bunny tail and sew it to one side of the bag!
