Mini Bunny Doll – Free Sewing Pattern

January 24, 2020

Ok, Jane Austen Play Set Week 3 here we come!

This week is all about making your very own 1:12 scale bunny doll. (ok, it is the tiniest bit bigger than 1:12 scale, but it still totally works in a standard size doll house. And the pieces won’t driving you nuts as you sew it, so you are welcome for the tiny size adjustment!)

You can make it alone to use in a doll house or make it as the first step in our Jane Austen Play Set journey.  (Admittedly, if you are just watching this journey, not sewing along, this video will be a bit dry.  But don’t worry, next time we will have some more eye candy for your viewing pleasure.)

First and foremost, to get your FREE pattern, simply enter your email into the box below and we’ll send the file directly to your inbox.

    I really am having a hard time with the arms, head placement. I wish you would have gone slower and really had zoomed in on this step. I’m so confused, having to stop for the night and start again tomorrow. Maybe I am just over thinking. I’m loving my bunny so far and terrified of making a mistake.

      I’m so glad to hear you are loving it so far! Were you able to figure it out? The arm is lined up with the seam connecting the two body pieces. You are more than welcome to send me a photo of where you got stuck and I can try and help.

      No written instructions yet, I’m actually working on a set right now that will be available for purchase soon. But for the free pattern it’s just the video.

    I have made a couple of these for my kids and I am really loving them. I would like to make a mommy and daddy version. Is there an easy way to resize the pattern to make a larger bunny version?

      I’m so glad you are liking them!!! The pattern pieces will work great scaled larger. When you go to print your PDF, there is an option for “custom scale” and then you can type in your preferred scale. Anything over 100% will enlarge it!

    Thanks so much for the pattern and tutorial. I just knit a baby blanket and wanted a bunny to tuck in with the blanket. It was perfect. Wish I could figure out how to post a picture… thanks so much!

    I don’t own any hemostats so I used some tweezers and they worked just fine for turning and stuffing too. 🙂

Instagram post 2327252897543629252_417393240 It is finally getting warm here and I'm so excited for long days in sunny fields.
Instagram post 2321314328934193695_417393240 Did you know that ladies during the Regency Era often wore a shawl because the breezy empire waist gowns they wore were a little chilly? ⁣
⁣
I've been having so much fun adding historical details to this project. I love the idea of history seeping into a child's mind through play.⁣
⁣
I know it's just a tiny detail, but I wanted our dolls to have shawls because I keep reading about the huge cultural shift that came with the style we see in Jane Austen's time period.⁣
⁣
In a period of about 15 years we went from Marie Antoinette style gowns with huge, structured skirts, to these breezy gowns that might (gasp!) show your silhouette if a breeze came in.⁣
⁣
To the younger generation they were progressive. Napoleon's wife was the one who made the style popular and because of her influence it symbolized a new way of thinking. (Marie Antoinette's way of thinking was, after all, proven slightly ineffective.) ⁣
⁣
Sure, the dress was a little chilly. But it was a way to leave dated ideas in the past. So they grabbed a shawl and moved forward!⁣
⁣
I know that a shawl on a doll won't automatically teach a kid all that history. But it might give us the opportunity to tell the story as we play, and I want to add as many of those opportunities as I can.
Instagram post 2320150626645961038_417393240 What's the best glue gun out there?⁣
⁣
I love the ease of hot glue, but have always found my glue gun work rather sloppy.⁣
⁣
A while back I talked to my good friend Erin from @thegreyrose about this. She is the closest thing to a Glue Gun Expert there is: She uses a glue gun full time to create her amazing felt floral arrangements. Her work is delicate and skillful, which are words I'd never use to describe my own glue gun efforts.⁣
⁣
Her secret is this amazing detail tipped glue gun. (The Surebonder Detail Tip Glue Gun...Please note, this is NOT an ad. No one is paying me to review this thing. I just genuinely like it and thought I'd share.)⁣
⁣
I bought the exact model she uses for her work and I will never go back! For the first time I feel like my hot gluing can be clean and precise. It's amazing what a difference having the right tool can make.
Instagram post 2318523881759128711_417393240 amen.
Instagram post 2316180582466133425_417393240 The bonnets are finished and I'm off to work on top hats and cravats. Because we definitely need a Mr. Darcy Rabbit.
Instagram post 2315017019194132946_417393240 The next Jane Austen play set tutorial is up and running on our blog!⁣
⁣
This week we make bonnets and shawls to complete for our Regency bunnies and I can hardly contain my excitement.⁣
