Bunny Treat Bag - fabric

This year is hopping right along, isn't it ?

Today I'm sharing this fun little treat bag

as my design team project for the

April Anything Goes Challenge at

Love To Craft.

We'd love to see what crafty things you 

made this month (so long as it is family friendly).

This sweet little treat bag
was made with a pattern I bought years ago.
I finally got around to sewing one !
More details below.

 Two squares of fabric, casing at the top

for ribbon to run through.

Bunny shape traced then stitched on 

two layers of white fabric. 

Leave the bottom of the arms open for turning out.

That was the most difficult part I believe, 

turning that little rabbit head (ears!) inside out.

Stitch a circle over a piece of clear plastic

then carefully trim away the fabric

to create a window.

After stitching down the sides of the squares

(starting an inch or so below the top edge

to allow room for the rabbits arms)

gather the bottom edges of the squares

to create the base.

I hot glued on a circle of card stock

to make sure the gathers stayed in place.

Pull the ribbon through the casing at the top.

Inside the bag , 

notice the gaps on the sides for the arms.

Rabbit head is lightly stuffed with polyfil

then the bottom is hand stitched closed.

The face made with a permanent marker and blush.

Goodies in the bag.

I'd suggest using wrapped candies

and if not, put unwrapped candies

inside of a clear baggie before 

inserting it into the fabric treat bag.

Arms inserted through the gaps on the side.

Pull the ribbon  and tie.

This isn't a sturdy, toy type of item.

It's really just for the cute factor 

when giving a small gift.

Thanks for looking =)
