April from Wildflowers and Whimsy shares a free pattern for her bustle back halter dress for little girls. This is such a pretty dress! It’s a fairly simple halter dress on the front, but the back opens into rows and rows of ruffles. Her pattern will make a size 3 dress. If you need a different size you could draft your own using her pattern as a shaping guide, and a garment that fits the child as a sizing guide. Get the pattern and tutorial.

Okay, hear me out—a bunny butt pillow. At first, I laughed. Out loud. Then I bookmarked it. And now? I’m completely smitten. I recently stumbled across this too-cute-to-handle Easter Bunny Butt Pillow Pattern from Kullaloo and I just had to give it a try.
I mean, come on. A fluffy little bunny backside, complete with perky paws and an oversized pom-pom tail? It’s basically Easter décor with a sense of humor—and honestly, I’m here for it.
The PDF pattern is super clear and well thought out. Kullaloo really nailed the instructions—they’ve broken everything down into bite-sized, beginner-friendly steps, which makes it totally doable even if you’re not a sewing pro. Plus, it comes with printable templates, so no need to freehand those paws (phew).
They recommend using super soft plush fabric, and let me tell you—don’t skip on the fluff factor. It makes all the difference. I went with a minky fleece, and the final result was so squishy and adorable, I almost didn’t want to give it away (I ended up making two… problem solved).
This project isn’t one of those “takes all weekend and steals your soul” crafts. I had it cut, sewn, and stuffed in an afternoon. Add an episode or two of your favorite show and a coffee, and you’ve got yourself a cozy little crafting session with a hilarious end result.
Easter crafts can sometimes veer into the predictable—eggs, pastels, chicks, rinse and repeat. This bunny butt pillow? It stands out. It’s fun, a little cheeky (pun intended), and actually looks great propped up on the couch or in a kid’s room.
Also, kids love it. Pets love it. Guests ask about it. And if you’re giving handmade gifts this season? Wrap one of these up and you’ll 100% be the star of Easter brunch.
cute …wish it was adult sized
Becca Cohen, I can make it into an adult one for you.
