Puppets! How about stitching an adorable finger puppet rabbit?

Here's a little puppet you can make in an afternoon, a beginner sewing project that takes you step-by-step through the basic skills for stitching toys.

Starting to learn to sew? You'll find the instructions beginner-friendly using a sewing machine or completely by hand.  

And if you're more experienced at stitching, this pattern will open the door to a series of simple, creative, fun options for adding character to your little rabbit. Top hats, bonnets, skirts, scarves. There’s a page of costuming patterns and another for accessories.

An easy sewing project for beginners and skilled crafters (maybe oldsters and youngsters?) to work on together, it’s quite likely to turn into a family tradition. Children under 10 will most likely need adult accompaniment in order to succeed unless they already have a bit of sewing experience. 

About 5 inches tall, these bunnies will fit right into the standard 1:12 standard dollhouse using the included cardstock stand pattern. With or without a stand, your little rabbit can be a play character, a little face that peeks out of the top of a stocking, an ornament for your tree or tablescape, or a very special package topper.

Your digital download PDF file includes the pattern you can print out on card stock and 20+ pages of fully illustrated instructions (with how to prep boiled wool). Also included are patterns for the optional costumes, accessories, and stand.

This listing is for the digital download pdf file, but if you'd prefer to get an already-printed pattern in the mail, click here.
