with a quarter inch hem.  Press. 

3.  Attach eyelet lace or other trim to upper edge of top band, ¼” from top edge. 
4.  Using a long stitch, stitch about a ¼” in from curved edges of pocket (C), pull 

thread to ease rounded edge.  Iron.  Edge finish top edge.  Fold top edge down, 
right sides together, ¼” from the top and stitch edges.  Turn and press.  Pocket 
should be complete. 

5.  Cut bunny ears out of white and pink felt.  Using a machine zig zag stitch, attach 

the pink to the white.  Place ears behind upper edge of pocket and topstitch along 
the edge of the pocket.  I did a double row of top stitching. 

6.  Center the pocket on the bag, about 1 ¼” from the bottom edge.  Stitch close to 

the edge of the pocket to secure.

bottom for turning.

edges.  Attach to the bag on either side, centered about the side seam.

hand stitched over the ends of the ribbon handle.
