The body is a gentle blue felt, with darker grey felt for the ears and nose and a red felt scarf stitched with pink stripes to wrap around his neck. Little felt circles make the eyes and rosy cheeks, so his friendly face comes together one piece at a time. Once he is sewn and stuffed, the finished koala measures about 19cm long and 10cm wide, a cuddly size that sits happily in two hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body pieces arrive with their stitching holes already punched around the edges, which takes the guesswork out of a first sewing project and makes this a lovely way to learn to sew. A step-by-step instruction sheet walks you through threading the needle, tying a knot, finishing each stitch and joining the pieces, with simple drawings for each stage. It suits a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table or a rainy weekend indoors, and once the last stitch is tied the koala is ready to sit on a bedroom shelf, a desk or the end of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit pieces are cut from felt, the stuffing is polyester, the threads are cotton in several colours and the needle is plastic. Everything comes packed in a round tube printed with a smiling koala in his scarf, which keeps the pieces together and doubles as tidy storage between sewing sessions. Once finished, the felt koala is best kept clean by dusting with a soft dry cloth or dabbing any marks gently with a damp cloth. We think it makes a thoughtful present for anyone keen to pick up a needle, and the printed tube means it is ready to hand over just as it comes, no wrapping needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit pieces: felt; stuffing: polyester; threads: cotton; needle: plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.015KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarning!
