Over the years, Luna has been joined by a growing cast of charming characters – from her cheeky little brother Alfie Rabbit to the glamorous Clementine Cat and steadfast Freddie Badger. Each friend has their own story, style, and spirit, brought to life with tiny tailored garments, exquisite fabrics, and your own two hands. Whether you’re stitching a whimsical fox in a waistcoat or a musical fawn in French lace, every project adds another layer of magic to Luna’s story.

Whether you’re brand new to sewing or a seasoned stitcher, there’s a place for you here. With books, kits, and patterns to suit every maker, all you need is a little patience, a love for craft, and a willingness to slow down and enjoy the process.
