Fusible Fleece Bunny Lovey Tutorial

Hi friends! Alicia here from Sew What Alicia. You know when you buy a baby toy and it makes that fun crinkly noise? I wanted to play around with creating that sensation so I came up with this fun tutorial! This crinkly bunny lovey tutorial is with the spring bunny fun fabric! Here is a fusible fleece bunny lovey tutorial!

Fusible Fleece Bunny Lovey Tutorial

Supplies:

12″ Square Minky

Spring Fun Bunny 12″ Fabric Square

HeatnBond® Fusible Fleece12″ Square

Small Rabbit from Spring Fun Bunny Panel

Aurifil Thread (Light Turquoise 2805 and Medium Orange 5009)

Cereal Bag

Bunny Lovey Instructions:

Cut out the small bunny from the spring bunny fun panel. Then cut a piece of the cereal bag to the same size.

Fold the bunny in half and place the cereal bag on top. Pin in place and then sew around 3/4 of the bunny. Leave the side open to turn the piece out. Notch the curves and trim the corners. Then turn the piece out. Pin the open edge closed and top-stitch around the bunny. The medium orange Aurifil goes perfectly with the orange bunny on the panel.

Now take your 12″ square and cut it in half diagonally as pictured below.

Fold one of the triangles in half to find the middle. Place the bunny in the middle and then pin the two triangles together right sides facing. Sew along the long edge.
Now your bunny will look like this.

Iron the fusible fleece square onto the red bunny portion. (DO NOT iron the minky because the iron will ruin it!) Now line the minky up right side down with the bunny square. Sew around the majority of the square leaving an opening to turn the piece out. Now top-stitch around the entire outside edge of the lovey. The light turquoise Aurifil is a great contrast to the red of the fabric. The fleece will make it a little stiffer but it will add some nice softness when baby puts it to their face or rests their head on it. The fleece will also soften up after a few washes. Little hands can use fabric as a blanket to cover up the little bunny 🙂
