Directions

How to make bunny drawstring bags?

To make the bag

• To make the main bag, place outer fabric pieces right side together (RST)
• Mark 2″ down from top corner, on the long edge of both sides of the outer pieces.
• Place a pin where you made the mark then pin the fabrics all around the rectangle pieces, between those 2 pins (sides and bottom).
• Sew down the pinned area with 1/4″ seam allowance.
• Repeat these steps for the bag pieces for the lining but leave a gap in the bottom to turn the bag right side out (RSO) later on.
• Box the corners if you wish or just leave the corners flat. I did both. If you decide to box the corners, follow the method here or here.
• Fold the flaps and place the outer bag and lining “face to face”.
• Match the top flaps RST, pinning at the sides.
• Sew around both flaps, sides and top. Backstitch at start and finish. Take care not to sew into the existing seam.
• Turn bag RSO through the gap in the lining, fold the fabric at the gap inside and do an edgestitch then press the bag.
• Push the lining inside the outer bag.

To make the ears

• Make the ear pieces. Using the ears template, draw an ear onto the wrong sides of the ear fabrics.
• Iron the interfacing onto the wrong sides of 2 ear fabrics.
• Place one ear with interfacing and one ear without interfacing, RST and sew down the template, leaving the bottom open.
• Trim off the excess fabric of the raw edges of the ears and turn ears RSO through the bottom. Then press flat.

Assemble the bunny bag

• Arrange the ears on the bag. Fold one flap towards you and place ears on the remaining flap, in the middle. Pin and sew down.
• Flip ears up, pin and sew down the top of the flap, backstitching start and finish.
• Fold the other flap towards the inside of the bag and sew 2 similar lines as above (no ears for this flap though)
• Take 1 ribbon and attach a safety pin to one end. Pass through both channels made in the flaps until it comes out the same side where you started. Knot ribbon ends together.
• Repeat with the other ribbon but starting from the opposite side.
• Now just pull the ribbons to close your bunny bag and you’re done!

And there you have it, a super cute bunny treat bag pattern! I hope you have fun with this little bunny bag! If you make one, don’t forget to let me know in the comments below.
