One giant leap

Arlo is an astronaut lost in space. This groovy guy is equipped to complete his space mission, he just needs his spaceship (good thing we have provided it!) This combo is a perfect gift to inspire little ones to take their imagination to the edge of the galaxy; playtime has never been so much fun! He’s made with stitches that’ll certainly be familiar to you, but be sure to keep an eye out for when you have to work in back loops or front loops only. If you can’t find any snap fasteners for the backpack at your local haberdashery, why not substitute it for Velcro or even a button? Get the FREE pattern here
