Milly has a small atelier in the heart of the city with very high shelves up to the ceiling, full of all sorts of puppets. Miss Milly is also a magical seamstress: with her fairy hands she cuts and sews fabrics that turn into colourful plush toys, so well made that they look real. Little Lulù is convinced of this, and in her shop she could find a nice green chicken with a blue crest, just as she wished. Milly\’s backshop is a magical place full of buttons, ribbons, threads and colored fabrics. But what will happen when the little Lulù has a problem with the injured ear of the bunny Tom? Will Milly be able to do even greater magic?
