Sweet and fluffy bunny made out of a pair of socks
Easter is almost here! So I decided to try to sew an Easter bunny out of a pair of socks. I was inspired by the tutorial of Bine Brändle in the book "Aufgepeppt & umgestylt". She's always very nice ideas for DIY stuff. I didn't do it exactly like she did, so it's kind of a "mixed" tutorial ;) but I love my bunny!
EASTER CAN COME :)
btw: I really used my ugliest socks for this, and look how cute the bunny turned out, yay!

Step 1
First you have to turn your socks to the left side. Then cut it the same way as you can see it on the picture.
Step 2
Use your sewing machine to sew all the parts together. Watch out that you don't sew the parts that should stay open for filling the body.
Step 3
After that, fill all the parts with stuffing.
Step 4
That's how it looks after filling the parts. It looks really macabre, doesn't it? :P
Step 5
Then I decided, before sewing all the parts together, I'll stitch the mouth and put a button as nose. Like this, you can leave the threads inside and you don't have to think about them any more. Of course you don't have to use a button as nose, take whatever you want!
Step 6
Sew all the parts together with needle and thread. I also already closed the body, so it was easier to fix the head.
Step 7
Fix the head, also with needle and thread, on top of the body.
Step 8
Stick some eyes and add some beard hair if you want to.
Tadaaaa, your sweet, fluffy Easter bunny is ready to be hugged!
