Luna Lapin’s Liberty Cat

Lara’s final super cute make from the Luna Lapin’s friends book by Sarah Peel. ย Here’s the cat which Lara has made for herself. ย It’s completely gorgeous, as are the fox and rabbit shown in previous blog posts.

“I made the cat first. ย I chose the lovely felt fabric from a company called Billow Fabrics. ย I decided that an old skirt of mine would make a rather lovely pinafore dress. ย I lined the dress and ears with Wiltshire C. ย I also used the Wiltshire C fabric on her footpads which looks really sweet. ย I love the pinafore dress so much that I want to make an adult version for myself.”

“The book ‘Luna Lapin’s Friends’ by Sarah Peel is easy to use. ย All of the patterns are at 100% which is great (and not all that common). ย This means that you can simply trace them which is nice and easy. ย The book has sweet short stories in it too. ย The cat itself was simple to make. ย All of the seams are whipstitched. ย The only thing I changed was by using safety eyes instead of buttons as I wasn’t sure at the time of making if it was going to be a present for a child or not. ย The eyes I used look more ‘cat like’ too which I love. ย I might just keep this little cat as it’s my first one.”

Here are all of Lara’s super sweet teddies all lying in a frosty field together. ย These are so adorable – you can tell that so much love and care has gone into the making of these memory teddies. ย I hope Sofia loves her ‘Rosie Rabbit’ and that she has many hours of fun playing with her. ย Thank you for sharing your gorgeous makes with us Lara.
