Tutorial: Cute Bunny Drawstring Pouch
This is the cutest drawstring bag you will ever make (and it’s a pretty easy tutorial). You can use leftover remnants of fabric (you need less than 1/4 yard) to reduce fabric waste and use this pouch as an Easter party goody bag, a DnD dice bag, a simple coin purse, or anything you want.

Supplies Needed:
(all of my patterns include 1/2″ seam allowance)
Step 1
sew the two pouch pieces together
With right sides together, sew the two pouch pieces together around the perimeter, leaving the top open. It’s best to finish the seam to make the end pouch more durable and keep it from fraying.
Step 2
Turn the pouch to the right side
Step 3
Apply interfacing to two of the bunny ears
Step 4
sew bunny ears together
With right sides together sew the two sets of bunny ears together all the way around the perimeter.
Step 4
turn the ears to the right side
Clip the curve around the tip of the ears and turn them to the right side. Press them flat for a neater finish.
Step 5
fold the bunny ears and baste the ends
Fold the two sides of the bunny ears in to create a 3-dimensional shape, then baste the base of the ears.
Step 6
Baste the ears to the top of the pouch
Step 7
hem the drawstring casing pieces
Make a narrow hem on both sides of the drawstring casing pieces.
Step 8
sew both the drawstring casing pieces to the upper edge of the bag
Sew through all layers.
Step 9
Press the casing up, away from the bag
Step 10
fold casing over on the inside and stitch
You can ditch stitch or edge stitch, depending on what you are more comfortable with.
Step 11
insert 2 pieces of string through the casing
You need each piece of string to go all the way around, through both casings. One string you’ll insert through the left side, thread it all the way around so it comes back out the left. The other will start on the right side and go all the way around so it comes back out the right.
Finished!
