Made with Love – Cute Bunny Hanging Nappy Stacker in Anchor Embroidery PDF Pattern

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Anchor Studio guides you through creating an adorable baby hanging nappy stacker decorated with a sweet hand-embroidered bunny design. Designed specifically for nurseries and baby rooms, this practical storage piece combines functional sewing with charming surface embroidery, making it a heartfelt handmade gift for new parents. The finished nappy stacker measures 30 x 54 cm, with the embroidered design panel measuring 23 x 9.5 cm.

What Is Being Made

The project produces a hanging nappy stacker — a fabric organiser designed to hold nappies (diapers) neatly in a nursery setting. The base item is a pre-made Anchor Baby Hanging Nappy Stacker in beige, which is then personalised and embellished with a hand-embroidered cute bunny motif. This makes the project accessible to intermediate embroiderers who want a practical, decorative result without constructing the stacker entirely from scratch.

Embroidery Design and Techniques

The embroidery is the heart of this pattern, worked directly onto the nappy stacker fabric panel. As an intermediate-level project, it involves a range of classic hand embroidery techniques that add texture, detail, and dimension to the bunny illustration. Typical embroidery techniques used in designs of this style from Anchor Studio include:

• Satin stitch – for smoothly filled areas such as the bunny body and facial features
• Backstitch or stem stitch – for outlining shapes and adding fine detail lines
• French knots – for small decorative dots, eyes, or floral accents
• Straight stitch – for simple linear details and fur texture effects

The embroidery is worked using 2 strands of Anchor Stranded Cotton throughout, which gives a refined, delicate finish well-suited to baby items and fine fabric surfaces.

Materials and Thread Colours

The pattern calls for Anchor Stranded Cotton 8m skeins, a premium embroidery thread produced in accordance with Oeko-tex standards, with tested pH values and colours that adhere to Global fastness standards — making it a safe and reliable choice for baby products. The following Anchor Stranded Cotton colour numbers are required:

• #259 – green tone
• #264 – soft green
• #266 – medium green
• #275 – light neutral
• #311 – soft blue or lilac tone
• #313 – complementary cool tone
• #366 – warm beige or flesh
• #367 – medium warm neutral
• #368 – deeper warm neutral
• #371 – brown or tan accent
• #885 – pale cream or blush
• #968 – soft pink or rose
• #1031 – light blue or sky tone

Each colour is used 1 skein (8m), making this a very economical project in terms of thread consumption. The gentle, pastel-leaning palette is perfectly suited to a baby nursery aesthetic.

Tools and Notions Required

• Tapestry needle No. 24 – used for working the stranded cotton through the fabric
• 1 Anchor Baby Hanging Nappy Stacker in beige – the pre-made base item onto which the embroidery is applied
