Well, not only does Luna now have both face and tail, she also has clothes!
The dress kit came with the coat and I much prefer it to the t-shirt dress the Luna kit comes with, so I made this one. I did mess the collar up a bit, but it's not really that noticeable. There was a lot of tiny, fiddly binding with this one, the neck seam is bound as well as the hem of her dress.
I also did a pretty bad job with the buttons, they're not actually that skewed, her dress isn't on straight, but the top button is in a funny position. That doesn't matter though as she has her coat on, even in the house!
Ta dah! Looking back at the website where I gave you the links at the top, I've done the buttons wrong! Ah well, never mind. I love this coat and would wear it myself, if it weren't so small I can barely get my big toe in the armhole... It took me hours and hours and hours to make. I did my very best sewing and even so it's not perfect. I love the little details like the bands and buttons on the sleeves. I used my new machine to sew button holes for the first time and it was fine on the dress and sleeve bands... then I came to do the main buttonholes.
I had a real job! The sleeve was getting backed up behind the foot and stopping it moving properly so they were all different lengths, and some bad planning on my behalf meant they weren't properly lined up or were wonky. In total, I sewed a total of 20 button holes and unpicked 16!
I'm happy with that back pleat though! I should have taken a photo of the inside - the hem is all bound, as is the neck seam. Again, fiddly, tiny binding! Despite the faff, I really enjoyed making this and would like to make another Luna with some different clothes. Having looked at Cool Crafting's website, I see more clothes I want but I'm not the type to change the clothes on a toy so I'll need more rabbits!
