    This looks awesome! I just bought the pattern! Am so excited to start making these for Christmas and eventually birthdays/baby showers. I am having a hard time finding fusible felt interfacing. Do you by chance recommend a certain type or have a link? Thanks so much!

      Hi Kris,

      thanks! I buy interfacing and batting locally, but depending on where you live, you could try out the Pellon fusible fleece for crafting, or Thermoweb's Heat&Bond. Have a great day,
