Rabbit Key Ring Sewing Pattern – Sewing Sanctuary

Create a pair of sweet rabbit key rings from this Sewing Sanctuary pattern.  Created by the talented Sarah Patterson, you can sew a little and a large rabbit, each with their very own dress.  The pattern is accompanied by step by step instructions, complete with photos.

Each rabbit uses only a small amount of fabric and is a great way to use up little scraps of pretty fabric.
