Step 1
Fold both fabrics in half with their wrong sides facing, then take the lining fabric, measure 5 inches down, and mark at the center of the width. Draw a line from the dot up to the top left corner about ¼ from the edge as shown in the video, then repeat on the opposite side, and then lay the lining fabric on top of the print fabric making sure their edges are matching.
Step 2
Pin them in place to prevent them from sliding or moving out of place, then cut along the marked line, and remove the pins. Refold the lining so that their right sides are facing, then mark 4 inches and 7 inches from the bottom, and refold the main fabric as well to match the right sides.
Step 3
Start stitching the lining fabric on the sides with ¼ inch seam allowance stopping at the 7-inch mark, then skip to stitch at the 4-inch mark until you reach the end, and stitch the main fabric on the sides as well.
Step 4
Open up the bags, and square the bottom as demonstrated in the video, then after stitching and trimming off the boxed corners, turn the lining bag right side out, and insert it into the main bag lining up the seams.
Step 5
Pin them securely, then stitch them together all the way around, then tuck the seams of the opening, and topstitch it closed. Press the seams nicely, then stuff the bag with treats and gifts of your choice, and tie the ears of the bunny with a ribbon.
