Greetings @needleworkmonday community, today I want to share with you a little purse in the shape of a rabbit, as a gift I want to give to a cousin-niece, who likes rabbits and therefore, I decided to do it this way. The sewing was not so good, but for being the first time I make a purse and in this style, I feel that it was not bad; I hope you like the result.

The first thing I did was to take out the base pieces of my bag, which would be a rectangle about 25 cm wide and 20 cm long. One rectangle of the furry fabric and another of the felt or polar blanket fabric, whichever you want; after that I cut a rectangle of 5 cm wide and 25 cm long, to join both large rectangular pieces.

Having both sides joined, I proceeded to embroider the eyes and the mouth of our bunny on the side of the furry face, with the black yarn ball, I did not want to make these details out of fabric, because I felt they would look better. To do this I first used the step back technique to determine the shape and then I filled it in; the same with the nose part.

Now I had to join the sides of the faces, here I didn't know how to do it, so I could more or less solve it and it was by cutting two rectangular pieces, 20cm long and 6 cm wide, this would allow me to join both pieces when folded. But, before that, I took the fabric that would be inside, the lining, that white one with pink dots, adjusting it with some pins; those two pieces of 20 x 6 cm, would go inside this lining.

After sewing it on the back, the result was not what I expected, but it worked, I left about 5 cm left over in the upper areas, to sew the fabric where the zipper would go.

Before continuing to give shape to the bag, I decided to make what would be the ears of the rabbit, for this I grabbed a piece of white fleece blanket that I had and a pink cotton fabric, which I ironed (well wrinkled it was); on a paper I made the respective forms of these ears, taking a total of 4 pieces of white fabric and two smaller pieces of pink. Joining them to the back of the 4 pieces, I sewed the same shape, but smaller, that is to say of the pink ones, here I made a mistake and it was not to sew first the pink one and then join it.

Despite this mistake, I proceeded to sew the half moons at both ends of the bag, for this I took a piece of white felt fabric, about 5cm long and the width of the bag and this piece we pass one end through the half moon, this is to fit the bag.

Now with the zipper, basically I cut a rectangle of white fabric, about 10 cm wide and the length that would give me the ends of the bag. In the middle of it, I cut it in half, only 0.5 cm, because there I would adjust the zipper, I don't know if it is done like that, but that's how I managed to sew the zipper.

Before sewing the fabric with the zipper, I proceeded to sew the ears, since they would be inside that rectangle of white fabric. With the pins I gradually adjusted it to the shape of the bag, to be honest it didn't fit, the fabric was coming out of one side, cutting it a little in the curve of the bag, was how I managed to make everything fit well.

With the bag ready, I was missing the cord to hold it, at the beginning I thought of making it out of the same fabric, but it was not enough, until I got among my ribbons, this cord that I do not know how it is called; to make it thicker I folded it in half and rolled it, like a mane, but two sections, I passed it through the middle of the ring of the carabiner and with a white thread I rolled it tightly and sewed it.

This is the final result, where I ended up putting a pink ribbon on each side, to make the bunny look prettier, I hope my little cousin likes it.
