All my designs are my own originals. I try to make them up with vegan-friendly and eco-friendly materials. The yarn is 100% cotton and the stuffing material is recycled cotton. Any packaging I use now or in the future for packs or kits to be sold will be recycled and plastic free (note that this item is a pattern only).

Feel free to make up the designs for sale - I’d appreciate a credit - but please do not reproduce, publish or sell the pattern itself.
