I think it was easy to follow along in the description as mom and I created a bunny each. The how-to images are great help, the patterns in the correct size (whoot whoot!) so no need to find a copy-machine to enlarge anything, and the images are simply adorable. I think they’re my favorite part. Oh and the fact that mom sewed soo many bunnies (she kept one and gave the rest away to her friends) from this book and a whole wardrobe for her Luna Lapin. I will post more pictures of our process later. We do sell vouchers and are available in any amount, you can find them here, they can be spent online and in store. Luna Lapin is a quiet and kind rabbit with impeccable taste and, in this collection, she introduces us to some of her dearest friends. This brand new collection of toy sewing patterns will resonate with sewists of all abilities and the designs are perfect for making wonderful heirloom toys for friends and family which will be treasured forever. If you’re into sewing super cute softies with big personalities, this book might just be up your ally. Let’s see… Luna Lapin and her friends themselves are usually hand sewn, although customers have succeeded in using a sewing machine. Most of her clothes are machine stitched and some are knitted. There is a very supportive Facebook group where you can find help and advice and inspiration. See Luna Lapin’s Little World. Can I sell my sewn Luna Lapin or one of her friends?

As with all our kits, the instructions are thorough and include diagrams and photographs to demonstrate the sewing steps. 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. My Luna is a bunny BTW, because I think she looks more like a bunny than a rabbit, so I’ll just call her that. The kit contains everything to make our charming 16″ rabbity-hare plus a pretty print tee shirt dress with detachable bow.

The Shop

Another little slice of fantasy, fun and fabrics from the lunaverse of handmade heirloom felt friends. Plenty of beautiful images, tales to tell and outfits to make in miniature for the long winter evenings ahead as we all huddle under our wearable fleece blankets, clutching hotwater bottles. To make Luna we recommend that you are at least 13/14 years old. You can sew Luna by hand but her dress might be easier sewn on a sewing machine. Luna was designed to be passed down by generations as a special heirloom toy, and I think one well-done bunny would warm any kidz heart. But it’s okay to keep her for yourself too, right? That’s what I am doing. Or to gift her to someone who is a kid at heart in one way or the other… And finally please make sure they are items you are proud of, and that I would be too! And that you are charging a price for them that reflects your time and love.

Please remember these were never intended as toys – anything you make will be your responsibility in terms of end-use, being fit for purpose and CE testing. As well as the animals and their delightful outfits there are the much-loved whimsical stories that really bring their characters to life. Immerse yourself in the timeless appeal of Luna’s Little World and discover how Luna met her friends with this collection of charming stories about the characters and their adventures. Instructions, Paper Pattern for Luna, WoolFelt for body, Liberty print fabric for ear lining and footpads, Iron on interfacing for ears, 2 buttons for eyes, 2 buttons for arm joints, long darner needle, sewing needle, tapestry needle, 100mtr bobbin of tonal thread, embroidery thread, eight pins. Handmade Animal Dolls by by Melissa Lowry – this looks to be a similar type of sewing book, but I haven’t looked at this one yet Anyway, the book starts out like a story book with a little story about Luna Lapin and her life, like an introduction. Then the rest of the book is about the different patterns. 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.In some rare cases we may have to charge extra for postage because of a particularly large item or if posting overseas. Please credit us with the original design – this could be a label saying Design by Cool Crafting, Made by…….

Speaking of colour, how do I know that your colours on the web are representative of what I will be receiving? Luna, her wardrobe and all her friends are intended for personal use only, by purchasing our patterns you agree to these terms We like to say Luna is suitable for an “adventurous beginner”, by the time you have made her and her clothes you will know a lot more than you did on the first stitch. We designed Luna to help teach you how to sew and give you the confidence to start stitching and dressmaking. Just have a go!

Last year my mom (who loves sewing and quilting) bought the book Making Luna Lapin by Sarah Peel, and we got sewing as soon as it arrived. We couldn’t wait because everything in it is so cuuuute. It’s about this super sweet little girl rabbit called Luna Lapin ( lapin is French for rabbit) and her little fashions.
