Place the

wadding to the wrong side of the fabric. This will mean you have the wadding on the outside of both pieces, sandwiching the fabric.

6 Turn right side out and add press with an iron gently. Pin on the bias binding to the bottom edge of your egg cosy, right sides together. Stitch all around to attach the bias with a ¼ inch seam, overlapping at the join. Turn the bias edging around to the inside of the egg cosy, slip stitch the bias by hand. Finally stitch on a small pompom as a tail and your bunny is ready for action!
