Anchor Cute Bunny Baby Pouch and Tidy Baby Changing Mat Embroidery Pattern – Downloadable PDF by Anchor Studio

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Anchor Studio presents a charming collection of three coordinating baby nursery embroidery projects, all featuring an adorable cute bunny motif. Designed with a beginner-friendly approach, this pattern is an ideal introduction to hand embroidery for those new to the craft, as well as a satisfying quick-stitch project for more experienced needleworkers looking for a sweet, practical make. The three items — a dummy pouch, a baby nursery tidy, and a baby changing mat — work together beautifully as a complete nursery set, making them a wonderful handmade gift for a new baby or parent.

About the Three Designs

1. Dummy Pouch

The dummy pouch is a small, practical accessory designed to keep a baby's dummy clean and close to hand. The finished pouch measures 11.5 x 13 cm, with an embroidered panel of approximately 5 x 4 cm positioned centrally on the Aida fabric section of the pouch. The compact embroidery area makes this the quickest of the three projects to complete, making it a great starting point for beginners building their confidence with cross stitch.

• Base item: 1 baby dummy pouch in beige
• Embroidery area: 5 x 4 cm, centred on the Aida panel
• Thread colours used: Anchor Stranded Cotton in shades #259, #275, #311, #367, #368, #371, #885, and #968

2. Baby Nursery Tidy

The baby nursery tidy is a larger organiser designed to hang in the nursery and keep small essentials neatly stored. It measures 48 x 48 cm in total, with a generous embroidered border of 40 x 8.5 cm. This wider embroidery band allows for a more expansive bunny and floral design, incorporating a broader palette of thread colours than the dummy pouch. The nursery tidy makes a striking decorative and functional piece for any baby's room.

• Base item: 1 baby nursery tidy in beige
• Embroidery area: 40 x 8.5 cm, centred on the Aida panel
• Thread colours used: Anchor Stranded Cotton in shades #259, #264, #266, #275, #311, #313, #366, #367, #368, #371, #885, #968, and #1031

3. Baby Changing Mat

The baby changing mat is the largest item in the set, measuring 49 x 71 cm, with an embroidered section of 20.5 x 7.5 cm. The embroidery is worked on the Aida panel integrated into the mat, adding a personal, handcrafted touch to an everyday nursery essential. Like the nursery tidy, this project uses the full extended colour palette for a rich, detailed finish.

• Thread colours used: Anchor Stranded Cotton in shades #259, #264, #266, #275, #311, #313, #366, #367, #368, #371, #885, #968, and #1031

Techniques and Stitches Used

All three projects in this pattern use the same core embroidery techniques, keeping the learning curve gentle and consistent across the set. The pattern includes clear guidance on stitch order and execution.

Cross Stitch

Cross stitch is the primary stitch used throughout all three designs. It is worked in two stages: first the lower diagonal stitch is worked from left to right across a row, and then the upper diagonal stitch is worked from right to left to complete each cross. On the chart, one square represents one cross stitch worked over one Aida square. This grid-based approach
