This Free Bunny Bag Pattern is Too Cute to Pass Up (and It’s Easier Than You Think!)
Okay, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t even looking for another project when I stumbled across this adorable Bunny Bag Free Pattern from Connecting Threads. But you know how it goes… one minute you’re browsing, the next you’re printing out a pattern and digging through your fabric stash for something pastel and spring-ready.
First off, let’s just talk about the cuteness factor. This little bunny face with the floppy ears? Absolutely charming. It’s the kind of thing that makes you smile immediately — perfect for Easter baskets, springtime gifting, or just adding a little whimsy to your sewing projects. And the size is spot on too — not too big, not too tiny. It’s great for popping in a few chocolates, a gift card, or even some sewing notions if you want to gift it to your crafty friends.
Now, as for the actual sewing part, this project is delightfully simple. The instructions are clear, the pattern pieces are easy to cut out, and it doesn’t require any complicated techniques. I’d say it’s beginner-friendly for sure — but still fun for seasoned sewists who want a quick win. If you’ve got some cute cottons, especially solids or subtle prints, they’ll work beautifully here.
The best part? It’s a FREE pattern. No catch. Just download and go. I always appreciate when companies like Connecting Threads offer sweet seasonal projects like this, especially when they’re this polished. You can tell some real care went into designing this little bag.
If you’re looking for a last-minute Easter project or just want to sew something smile-worthy, this Bunny Bag is 100% worth it. I’ve already made one for my niece — and now my inner child kind of wants one too. Don’t judge.

Let me know if you make one — or five. I’m this close to turning it into a mini bunny gift bag army.
When I follow the link there is not a pattern to download
You can find the links to the patterns after the second paragraph in the post. –Anne
hey lovely and inspiring!!
Had no problem with printed out the Mary Jane
shoe patten, but I’m having diffcult time with the tutorial. Please help.
Not a bad tutorial, kinda wish there was more pictures/steps… I’m a mega-beginner so it was a bit difficult. I used denim as the outside material and it was wayyyyy too thick and hard to sew… I will try again with thinner material! Thanks for the tutorial!
I can’t find the pattern either. Whwn you clip on the link it tells you the website can’t be found. Bummer.
I just re-checked the link and it loaded without difficulty for me. Perhaps this was just a temporary glitch? –Anne
This pattern is PRECIOUS! Thanks so much for sharing it!
