You can fulfill the dream of your child not only by buying a toy, but also by making it yourself. Moreover, the creation of mother's hands will be loved and more expensive than the store. In order to create beautiful toy, you will need quite a few things: just a couple of pieces of fabric, a rabbit pattern and a little imagination.
Best friend
Soft and cute rabbit toy can become best friend for any child. To do this, the craft needs to be made as cute and functional as possible, that is, do not use fragile and small jewelry to decorate it. It is best to choose natural fabrics or fur for tailoring and decoration. When using fur material (especially natural), you should make sure that the child does not have allergies.
The size of the future crafts may be different, depending on the age of the baby. But many needlewomen advise not to do too much big toys so that they can be washed and dried quickly. Also, you do not need to sew a very small rabbit, because he will get tired of the child very quickly. Therefore, it is best to choose an average size, from about twenty to thirty-five centimeters. As for clothes fairy tale hero, then it must match the gender of the child, because not every boy will like a rabbit in a dress. But for girls there are no restrictions.
Toy style
Among the huge number of styles of toys, Tilda crafts are especially popular. The creator of this trend, Toni Finnanger, was able to embody the simplicity of forms and the graceful magnificence of fabric dolls in her crafts. Recognized worldwide for their sophistication, all Tilda products are the favorite toys of many children. One of the features of such toys are Long hands and legs, as well as a minimal outline of the face. Also in the collection of the needlewoman there are rabbits. The charming rabbit Tilda, the pattern of which is placed below, is the most favorite exhibit of many people from among all the crafts of the artist.
When cutting out the details of the toy from the fabric, you need to take into account the fact that the pattern is shown without a seam allowance, so you should make a small indent from the edges of about 1-1.5 cm. If this is not done, you will get too narrow details that can ruin appearance crafts.
Also, the Tilda rabbit (the pattern of which is placed in the article) is drawn on a small scale, which can be enlarged if desired. As a filler, you can choose a synthetic winterizer, holofiber or synthetic winterizer. As for the design of the face, you need to sew two small beads in the area of \u200b\u200bthe eyes, and embroider the nose with a triangle, using embroidery threads. You will also need to lightly brown the cheeks of the rabbit, using blush. You should also pay attention to the fact that the ears of a fashionable rabbit can be sewn in different ways. In one case, they are cut out from one material, and in the other, a fabric of two colors is used. As a rule, the inside of the ears in this case should be made of multi-colored linen or cotton.
fluffy gift
No less charming and cute than a fabric rabbit looks like a rabbit made of fur. To create such magnificence, it is best to choose short-haired fur that will not crumble. The toy can be sewn in several ways, resorting to a combination of material and making it completely furry. In the first case, the head of the craft is cut out from any soft tissue, and all other parts are made of fur. This version of a toy rabbit looks very beautiful and original. Below is a fur rabbit pattern that is suitable for sewing both types of crafts.
Speaking about the design of the muzzle of a rabbit, it should be mentioned that very expressive eyes should be made on a completely fur toy. Most often they use special ones that look like real ones. Making them yourself is very difficult, so you need to use purchased parts. As for the combined crafts, they look equally charming on it different eyes. They can be purchased, embroidered or made from beads and buttons.
Long-eared surprise
There are few differences between all toy rabbits, most often it is different kinds material taken for tailoring, as well as the shape of their ears. Such a product self made may have ears middle length, erect ears, as well as very long ears, which sometimes reach the height of the craft. Below is a pattern of a rabbit with long ears that any child will surely like.
The toy depicted in the pattern can be sewn from various materials. Therefore, it may look like Tilda crafts or like the above fur version. In any case, the rabbit toy will turn out to be very beautiful. Sometimes a soft wire is inserted into the ears of such products so that they can be lifted. But most often, long-eared rabbits are made with falling and soft ears.
Desired scale
Very often it turns out that the rabbit pattern shown in the figure does not fit in size. Sometimes you want to sew a toy more, and sometimes less. In this case, you should resort to zooming in or out. It is not difficult to do this, you need to take the finished image of the details, and if you need to enlarge them, then add a few centimeters along the edges of the product. If it should be reduced, then you need to measure the pattern data with a ruler and draw it, taking into account the changes, subtracting a few centimeters along the edges.
When making such changes in the toy, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the rabbit pattern is filed taking into account the proportions of the body of the craft. Therefore, you do not need to draw images by eye, without having certain skills. It is best to follow the recommendations of the experts as stated above. If it is difficult to make a correct pattern on a regular landscape sheet, then you should use a sheet from a squared notebook or special paper designed for this purpose. It will be much easier to draw details on it and make various roundings correctly.
Unusual stuffing
As a rule, the same materials are used for stuffing toys, these are synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer or holofiber, as mentioned above. But sometimes other fillers are used to give the craft durability. Most often, these are various cereals that are pleasantly felt through the fabric. Being completely natural, such ingredients will not harm the playing child.
When using natural fillings, one must take into account the fact that cereals are heavier than synthetic fillings. Therefore, the pattern of the rabbit and the material for its tailoring should be chosen taking into account this nuance. It should also be remembered that before using any cereal, it must be well fried so that it does not deteriorate inside the craft. Although this method of filling products is completely natural, it has one big drawback - it is impossible to wash the toy. Therefore, it is most often used for crafts that are used as room decor.
The Easter Bunny is a tradition with long roots. In Germany already in the 16th century easter bunny was a symbol of fertility and wealth. In North America, as well as some European countries, there is a custom - on Easter morning to hide Easter eggs.

Fluffy Easter Bunny. Sewing from fur with ears using dry felting technique. Master class from the author - Irina Shcherbakova Irentoys
To create this rabbit we need:
- fur (I have a plush with a pile of about 13 mm);
- eyes 12 mm;
- cotter pin O-shaped - 2 pcs. or T-shaped - 1 pc.;
- washers for cotter pins;
- disk with a diameter of 20 mm - 2 pcs;
- wool for felting to match the fur and a little dark wool;
- felting needles (No. 36, 38, 40);
- scissors;
- kapron thread for tightening;
- glue;
- pastel.
The rabbit pattern is given below, but since I didn’t have it at first, I had to fashion a bunny from plasticine.
Then remove the pattern on tracing paper, transfer it from tracing paper to paper and bring it to mind.
Here is the pattern. It shows letters that can be transferred to the fur so as not to get confused. The arrow indicates the direction of the pile. Paired parts should be mirrored.
We transfer the pattern to the fur, according to the direction of the pile. We cut out the details, not forgetting the allowances (about 7 mm) for the seams.
First, we sew the tucks on all the details of the head. I perform all seams with a frequent seam “back needle”.
Now it's time to sew the head pieces together. On the pattern for this, letters are affixed. First, we sew the side symmetrical parts (segment AB). Then we sew in a small detail of the chin (sections BV and WB).
Here's what happens. Now it's the turn of the top of the head.
We sew (segments AG and GA) and turn out through the remaining hole.
Important! If your material is spilling along the edge, then you need to coat the edges with PVA glue diluted 1: 1 with water. In my case, the base of the fur is very strong, dense and not loose, so I don’t do this.
We stuff tightly.
Before sewing up the head, we insert the cotter pin into it according to the scheme. We sew the head with a hidden seam.
We proceed in the same way with the details of the body. First we sew the tucks, then we sew the parts according to the indicated letters, leaving a hole for eversion. Having turned out, we put the body aside, we return to the head.
With a strong thread (I have a nylon thread) in two additions, we tighten the eyes. We introduce the needle into the place of the tucks on the segments AG and GA of the upper part of the head. Then we introduce a needle next to this place by 7 mm towards the back of the head. We remove the needle in the place where the fastener is located. We tighten and tie.
Let's start grooming the rabbit. On the entire muzzle, we leave a uniform short pile in front, with a smooth transition to a long pile in the back.
Trimmed cheeks and lower part and we see that a mouth has appeared, which also needs to be pulled away. For tightening, we introduce a needle with a thread to point B, then to the place where the eye was pulled, then to the place of attachment. Do the same with the other end of the thread.
I took transparent eyes and painted them with dark brown acrylic. In places where the darts on the top part coincide with the side parts, eyes will be sewn in. We find these points and mark with pins. Check the symmetry of the pins.
We sew an eye into this place. Behind the eye, towards the crown, we also cut off the pile.
We smear the knots of threads from tightening and from sewing on the eyes with glue. Cut off with scissors.
In the workpiece of the body (at point E), we introduce a fastening pin with a head. We put a disk and a washer on the cotter pin. We twist, or rather, wedged the cotter pin with thin-nosed pliers.
For the same twisted cotter pin, we fasten the nylon thread in two additions to tighten the body. We thread the ends of this thread into the needle and bring out the bottom of the body at point G, leaving a small distance between the ends of the threads, for further tightening.
Pour in the granulate. Stuff with padding polyester and sew with a hidden seam.
The final step along the sewn part will be the tightening of the calf.
The result is a blank, which is simple and which we will complicate with attached parts. Go.
Take two bundles of wool for the ears. We dump the approximate shape of the ear with a coarse needle.
We try on, given that the ear will still decrease by a third. We work the surface with a thin needle, forming the bends of the ear.
In addition to the lower fluffy part, which will cling to the head, the entire ear is polished completely. We try on, fixing with pins.
It's the turn of the front paws. We take the same amount of wool for each. We begin to form a foot from wool with a fluffy end for sticking to the body. The fluffy end should be pointing up.
On the paws, we work out the fingers with a needle. We try on, securing with pins.
