Full sized patterns and step-by-step instructions are included - as well as a collection of charming stories about the characters and their adventures.
A follow up to Making Luna Lapin (21K copies sold) featuring four new new characters and their exquisite outfits and accessories that will appeal to grown up audiences as much as children.
The design of the garments is often very detailed and replicates full sized tailored garments. Reynard's jacket has mock welt pockets and a beautiful lining, which takes it out of the stadard toy sewing pattern area and gives the patterns a timeless appeal.
