Space Boy: a young cat with a head full of dreams and a ship full of yarn.

We're beyond excited to offer this craft collaboration. If this feline adventurer looks familiar it could be you've seen Space Boy featured on the ceramic works by Canadian artist Tessa Reed of Tessaramics. The face is embroidered using one simple type of stitch and details added throughout. Both the front and the back are considered.

Intermediate, recommended for ages 12 and up. The techniques are simple but there is more stitching than in the other kits, and a few of the steps involve smaller pieces that require a bit of extra patience to assemble.

Each kit envelope contains step-by-step photo illustrated instructions, paper pattern pieces, sheets of wool blend felt, embroidery floss, needle and pins.

Stuffing is not included as the finished piece is easy to stuff using scraps of felt or fabric cut into small bits, cotton balls as well as traditional stuffing. It also helps keep the shipping cost much lower as it can travel Canada Post letter mail.

These pieces are perfect either as whimsical decorative pieces or to be used in gentle play. 

Finished Size: 8" x 5" (21cm x 13cm)

Not recommended for small children.
