1.Print out the teether pattern pieces. Do NOT select “scale to fit” on your printer. Print all the pattern pieces at their actual size. There are 3 sizes available in this pattern (8,10and 12 inch teethers). Please make sure you print the PDF of the size you would like to make. Check the 1” square test box for printer accuracy before you begin.
2.Cut all the paper pattern pieces out on the cutline. You do not need to add a seam allowance. Seam allowances are included in the pattern pieces.
Cut the following:
Cut1 piece from print fabric for inside of ears
Cut 1 piece from solid fabric for outside of ears
Cut 1 piece of Stitch n Sew: sew in fleece
If you are using a Cricut Maker(or other cutting machine) and the SVG files to cut the shapes, make sure to use your rotary blade and set the fabric setting to the appropriate depth and type.
3. Lay out the pieces in the following
order and pin around the perimeter to keep in place.
Stitch n Sew - sew in fleece
Print fabric – face up
Solid fabric – face down
4. Using a shortened stitch length, sew all 2layers together at a ¼” seam allowance. Leave an opening for turning on the middle edge of one side.
5. Make little snips around the entire perimeter seam allowance. This will make for a smooth turning and flat seams
6. Next, using the opening, turn the Bunny Teether right-out and using a turning tool such as hemostats, knitting needle or even a pencil to push the points and edges out from the inside.
7. Press the entire Bunny Teether with a hot iron and make sure the opening is turned inside to a finished seam.
8. Using a shortened stitch length and a coordinating top and bottom thread color, sew around the entire perimeter of the Teether. This seam will close the opening left from turning the project right side out.
9. Next, face the printed inner fabric towards you and pinch it at the center.
10. Then fold it up on either side to make two ears. Insert the ear tips into the center of the ring and pull them through the folded opening where your finger is.
11. Pull the ears through as TIGHT as possible. You can even use a tool such as hemostats or pliers to give you the tightest and safest pull! Adjust ears as necessary.
Your Bunny Teether is now complete!
Hook on to soother clips or simply use as is! You can even hang it from a mobile or car seat handle or enjoy as a super sweet shelf sitter. Thank you for sewing along with me today!
