I don’t sew and was wondering if anyone would be able to make me one. I have the material. Zips and cotton . I want to send it to London for my grandson so envisage a size for a 2 year old through to perhaps a 5 year old. So not too big and not too small. One he can snuggle into and read his books.
Happy to pay for this to be made. Thank you.
