Winney, Nancy describes an applique method of glueing and sewing the eye patches on. In her book on real fur bears it is described in more detail, but she suggests this method also in her other book (101 bears) without reference to material, so I believe she uses it with all materials.

Helena I used rabbit fur, not mohair. Definitely not easier than mohair and time consuming, but oh soooo lovely   :love:

I normally appliqué the eye patches on to the finished head trimming very closely at the edge of the tear shaped mohair patch and sew with very tiny stichs. I think if i were to cut a hole and sew it on first it may put the fabric under pressure and tear, as i fill the head very firmly.
