How to Make Your 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. Notch the curves and trim the corners. Then turn the piece out. Pin the open edge closed and top-stitch around the bunny.
Now take your 12″ square and cut it in half diagonally.
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.
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 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. Leave the fleece out if you want it to be more pliable.
