Selling Points:

  • The third title in the delightful Luna Lapin series, Luna Lapin: Making New Friends, features sewing patterns for five brand-new characters and their exquisite outfits and accessories, appealing to adults as much as children.
  • The design of the garments is very detailed and replicates full-sized tailored garments, elevating them out of the standard toy sewing pattern area and giving them a timeless 'heirloom' appeal.
