This Licensed William Morris Design was first produced in May 1882. It is also known sometimes as Brer Rabbit and was inspired and named after a character in Uncle Remus, His song and Sayings by J.C.Harris (1881) which William Morris would read to his daughters Jenny and May. The design was first produced at Merton Abbey using the Indigo discharge method of printing. The Birds and rabbits within the design were drawn Morris' close friend and colleague, Philip Webb.
Just like all our designs, Brother Rabbit 100% cotton is printed in the UK. Our cotton fabric is so versatile of what you can make from it, be sure to check out our inspiration page for ideas!
The cotton fabric is 152 cm wide including a 2.5cm each side salve edge. The pattern repeat is 18cm. For the fabric length, it's sold by the half metre, so you can choose your length using the drop down above. If you order more than 0.5m in the same order, it will be sent as a continuous length.
