Yet another triumph of a book from Coll Crafting. The easy to follow instructions and gorgeous animals are a delight to make. I can’t wait to get started on Hamish!

What is not to like about this, the fourth Luna Lapin book. I have all the books and have made all the creatures. I have loved learning all the different dressmaking techniques from the books. I adore the variety of creatures and the gorgeous clothing. In fact, there is absolutely nothing negative about any of it. It has been a wonderful journey with Sarah Kenair Peel and her wonderful crew.

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! This book is written beautifully just as the other 3 are, it was eagerly awaited.

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.
Easy instructions to follow and all pattern peices needed to make the animals and their ever so cute outfits are full size at the back of the book. I photocopy mine and cut them out, but tracing is also an option. Fabric kits are available from CoolCrafting or if this is not your first taste of Lunaverse, you can hunt out your own from your never decreasing stash!
The perfect antidote to the goings on in the world right now, where right is right, everyone has good in them and everyone is smartly dressed in gorgeous outfits you would love in your own wardrobe. Pick up, do a bit, come back to it later, or lose yourself completely in a fog of felt and flowers. The end result, regardless of ability is intensely satisfying. So, what are you waiting for…choose your fabrics and get sewing!

Oh wow you have both done it again, Grace those stories and Sarah Peel those patterns and characters. Normally after the first or second book nothing improves but you have done it in book 3 and 4 as well.
The way they are presented are superb with such great quality.
Never disappoints

Another enchanting book from Cool Crafting. The coloured photographs are delightful and make you want to get to the sewing room and get started. I’ve got my orders from granddaughter No2 she wants Dora pig immediately to join her growing band of tea party guests.

Having bought this book a week ago, I am now halfway through making Hamish and have his outfit lined up! This book is beautiful and all the instructions are very clear. I love being inspired by all the pictures and can’t wait to give even more projects a go!
