Freya the Fawn is featured in the third Luna Lapin and Friends book by Sarah Peel.
As soon as I saw this I could not wait for the book to be published. Sarah releases some of the new friends in kit form prior to book launch.
So Liz and I had a day out to the Coolcrafting shop in Kendal, Cumbria. They sell wool and fabric too.
In the kit there are pieces of fabric, patterns which need cutting out and everything you need to make the item including needles, thread and stuffing. And in this case a felting needle for attaching the spots.
The antlers were always going to be the biggest challenge, along with the ears, and attached them into the head piece. But as always with the kits and the books the instructions were easy to follow.
Having previous experience making toys does help. I would start with a Luna Lapin rabbit first.
Love the tail, which is stuffed for added effect.
Freya Fawn was intended for Evie, but when she was complete we soon realised she was far to delicate for a small child and would have to live with us for a few years.
She is supposed to be dressed, but I cannot decide which dress. Watch this space.
