Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Unleash your little ones’ imagination with these fabulous fancy dress pieces that are quick and simple to make and customise.

When Emma Friedlander-Collins was a new convert to crochet and a mother of two small superheroes, she was frustrated by the lack of patterns available for children’s costumes, so she decided to start designing her own. This collection is the result, featuring over 35 garments and accessories that make up 15 different costumes.

All the dressing-up favourites are here, from pirates, mermaids, superheroes and Vikings to fairytale characters such as Rapunzel and Red Riding Hood. There are even some furry friends – just look at the cute cat and floppy-eared bunny outfits!

All of the items are suitable for various ages and sizes, require no complicated sewing or finishing, and will cost you a fraction of the price of store-bought outfits. Plus, they're quick to whip up, making them great for last-minute panics over forgotten party invitations.
