I absolutely love this shop! The instructions are very detailed and honestly for a beginner I appreciate that so much! I love creating these sweet things for my children to play!
Thank you for this pattern. The finished result is very cute, as always. I added a few spots to my kitty.
Eu amei o tutorial e os moldes, valeu super a pena a compra para mim. Já fiz meu primeiro gatinho, estou apaixonada
muito bom adorei o material, acho q faltam algumas pequenas informacoes sobre alguns passos mas da pra fazer e se adaptar
Pattern ben fatto, con tantissime opzioni diverse. Le istruzioni sono ben scritte con dovizia di particolari. Era la prima volta che seguivo questo pattern e che lavoravo con il feltro e l'ho trovato molto semplice! Quindi lo consiglierei anche ai principianti
I made all of the kittens and then came back for the bunny pattern. These are super fun and will make a great gift for my grandaughter!
This is such a cute pattern and so easy! I made two, one right after another, and it was so much fun. Would definitely buy future patterns.
Super cute patterns!! My friends and I had an amazing crafting night together making cat plushies based on one another!
What a fun, cute pattern! This is my first experience making a wool felt critter. The instructions were so easy to follow and had photos to help all along the way. I will definitely be making a bunch more to share with friends and to add to my little zoo.
