Adorable Animals: Melbourne Craftswoman Creates Lovely Felt Toys (Photo)

Felt toys are invented and brought into reality by a resident of Melbourne under the sonorous nickname Kat Rabit. This name is directly related to what this woman does - she sews cats and rabbits.

Kat's work includes both real-life animals and fantasy creatures. And more recently, she even creates, using felt, characters from children's books. And all these toys turn out to be very charming.

For her products, the Australian uses the most common felt. But she combines it in a not quite traditional way. The woman combines thin and thick pieces of material. Uses bright and dark colors.

As for the trim, Kat sews on fake and natural fur. It all depends on the chosen product. For example, artificial "rings" are more suitable for sheep, while natural edges are more suitable for foxes or squirrels.

Most often, an Australian needlewoman gives her toys to children. But recently, when the demand for cute felt animals began to exceed supply, Kat began to make them to order for money. She sells her work, usually online. The woman has her own website and pages on social networks.
