Bedtime.. this section of my new book ‘Making Marmalade’ is probably my favourite.. I LOVE the Moses basket bed with its roll pillow and sleeping bag (you can also use the sleeping bag as a carry all for Marmalade’s clothes 😉) and those jammies!!! PLUS all bunnies need a wee bunny to snuggle up in bed with!! 🛏 🐰 #simonegoodingdesign #makingmarmalade #bedtime #felt #feltrabbit #babybunny #toydesigner #mosesbasket #mosesbasketbed #maker #sewingpatternbook #pattern #fabric #tuvapublishing
