Marmalade Rabbit

I just love English glass doll eyes! They are beautifully handmade and are very easy to use. They are jet black and have a little sheen on them which help to bring your toy animal/doll to life.

100% wool hand dyed felt

I have been using this wonderful fabric for many years now. It is very strong but also wonderfully soft so performs beautifully every time. I highly recommend you use very high quality wool felt, poor quality or synthetic felt will not withstand the small seam allowance, tight turning of pieces and firm stuffing required.

Spring
