Another little slice of fantasy, fun and fabrics from the lunaverse of handmade heirloom felt friends. A wonderful new collection of sewing patterns from the author of the Luna Lapin sewing books, Sarah Peel.If you are looking to make Luna or any of her friends you will need basic sewing skills and a little patience. Once upon a time we created a tiny rabbity hare for big people, and now we have created a big bunny for little people – meet Flora Lapin, a slightly larger version of Luna reaching 24″ tall excluding ears. Immerse yourself once again in the whimsical world of Luna Lapin with this collection of patterns and instructions for five delightful animals. There’s great online support via a Facebook group were you get to share your creations, get advice and make new friends.

You get the pattern and detailed sewing instructions for making your own bunny from felt (although you could use any fabric) and her clothes, as well as a bag, shoes and hat. I really like that the whole book is about one project, that you of course can pick and choose from. Speaking of colour, how do I know that your colours on the web are representative of what I will be receiving? We don’t sell seconds so this shouldn’t happen, but sometimes things slip through the cracks, just let us know and we will try to help.

Author, Sarah Peel, takes classic garments and recreates them on a miniature scale with exquisite fabrics including Liberty cottons, taffeta, corduroy, velvet, lace and wool tweed.

The coloured photographs are delightful and make you want to get to the sewing room and get started. Smokey Joe, known to close friends as SJ, is a chilled-out guy, never happier than when foraging in an ancient forest or playing his ukulele by a campfire and making s’mores. Our third book, Luna Lapin: Making New Friends is now available, all copies of the book will be delivered signed. Ramsey has an earth-first approach to his life and his constant reusing and repurposing is a source of both great pride and annoyance to Daisy, his community-minded, extroverted wife. Freya’s friends love that she always has a unique perspective, and though she doesn’t seek attention it always finds her (maybe because our lovely little fawn is always late).If you are finding something a little tricky, make a cup of tea and come back to it, if this doesn’t help join our amazing and supportive Facebook community Luna Lapins Little World.

There are step-by-step instructions and diagrams for all of the clothes and the animals, and the templates are included at full-size so you can get sewing straight away.However, if you have a large number of joins or a particularly “knotty” ball, just let us know and we will do our best to arrange for a replacement. Normally after the first or second book nothing improves but you have done it in book 3 and 4 as well. The patterns are suitable for a range of abilities--the basic rabbit and simple items are suitable for beginners but the more tailored pieces are for more experienced sewers--the level of each pattern is identified and all the patterns are full size. What an absolute delight this book is, I have all 4 books and made the majority of the characters, I love making them, I need to dress them all now! Will happily continue expanding my little felt family and learn new ways of making miniature clothing.
