Aren't these bunnies cute?

Original pattern from: Raggedy Old Annies

Thanks for the awesome free pattern, Nicole!
Please note that this pattern is NOT for commercial use
and is copyrighted by Nicole Ellison.
Note: I did a minor alteration on the body shape.
The arms were installed when sewing the body pieces together.
Tiny belly button was also embroidered.
I used medium weight, 100% cotton, light pink fabric I found for USD1/yard
instead of double layered muslin.

I have a yard of fabric left from 'The OCD Skirt' project.
The pattern is from some old stock I found locally for 25 cents each.
It is Butterick 5457 shorts pattern in size 10 by John Kloss.
I made some minor changes to the waistline and hemline
to accommodate for the fabric pattern.

Purse Magic

© Purse Magic

I made this awhile back to store driving license, credit cards, and some cash 

whenever I cannot carry a handbag along.

This design is easy to reverse engineer so I am not planning on a tutorial 

but below is a few notes.

 

Design Notes:

• The front tab can be shaped as desired - scallop, envelope, zig-zag, etc.
• It is important to make sure that the inner layer (the last set of pictures) is not much deeper than credit card size. Otherwise, have fun fishing out your stuff!
