Anchor Cute Bunny Baby Hanging Nappy Stacker – Free Embroidery Pattern by Anchor Studio

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Anchor Studio guides you through embroidering a charming cute bunny design onto a ready-made baby hanging nappy stacker. Designed with beginner embroiderers in mind, this project is a wonderful introduction to hand embroidery on a practical and adorable nursery accessory. The finished nappy stacker measures 30 x 54 cm, with the embroidered motif area covering approximately 23 x 9.5 cm, making it a manageable and rewarding project for those new to the craft.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a hanging nappy stacker — a fabric organiser designed to hang in a nursery and store nappies (diapers) neatly and accessibly. The stacker itself is provided as a pre-made item in beige, and the embroiderer adds a decorative bunny motif using hand embroidery. This makes it both a functional nursery item and a personalised, handcrafted gift idea for new parents.

Techniques Used

• Hand embroidery on a pre-made fabric base — a beginner-friendly approach that removes the need for sewing construction skills
• Working with stranded cotton thread, specifically using 2 strands at a time, which is a foundational technique in embroidery that allows control over coverage and texture
• Following a printed embroidery design transferred or traced onto the fabric surface within the designated 23 x 9.5 cm embroidery area

Stitches Used

While the PDF focuses on a beginner-level design, embroidery projects of this type from Anchor Studio typically incorporate classic hand embroidery stitches suited to illustrative motifs such as animals and florals. These commonly include:

• Satin stitch — for filling solid areas of the bunny motif smoothly
• Backstitch or outline stitch — for defining the edges and details of the design
• French knots — often used for small detail elements such as eyes or floral accents

Note: Specific stitch names are referenced based on the beginner-level nature and motif style of this Anchor Studio design; always refer to the PDF for the exact stitch guide provided.

Materials – Threads and Notions

Anchor Stranded Cotton

The embroidery is worked using Anchor Stranded Cotton in 8-metre skeins, with 2 strands used throughout. The colour palette includes 13 shades, providing a soft and naturalistic range ideal for a nursery theme:

• #259, #264, #266, #275 — greens, likely used for foliage or grassy elements
• #311, #313 — mid-toned shades for detail and shading
• #366, #367, #368, #371 — warm neutrals and browns, ideal for the bunny's body and fur tones
• #885 — a soft, pale tone for highlights or background areas
• #968 — a warm accent, possibly a blush or pink for delicate details
• #1031 — a cooler tone for contrast or shadow

All Anchor Stranded Cotton threads are produced in accordance with Oeko-Tex standards, with tested pH values and colours adhering to Global Fastness Standards, making them safe and high-quality for baby-related projects. Washing instructions are included in the pattern, with particular guidance on caring for darker coloured threads to prevent any excess dye transfer.
