I've been looking for a source of thick 100% wool to use for doing this. The TFSR instructions says to use 5 mm thick felt and how to cut them. I didn't want to waste my time chopping up the spool felts sold by lot's of places so I looked and found this place:
http://www.weirdollsandcrafts.com/wo...wool-felt.html
They are selling 100% wool felt sheets at 4 to 5 m/m thick for around $3.50.
I haven't bought any yet, but will as soon as I can.

Just thought this might help.

Thanks Joe for this link. I have been looking for a good source of wool felt. It's so nice for hand applique. The added bonus is the site also has adorable patterns for making dolls. I have a GD who really can't have enough dolls.
