A flowered tabby cat with green stripes, a pink suede nose and blue buttons for eyes. This is the cat pattern I was designing the other day. I feel like I finally got it right. I was looking for a good balance of angular and round. After many test cats with way too big heads and super skinny legs and seams busting open, here’s the one that worked!
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
She’s lovely! The fabric and your choice of accent colors are gorgeous.
I like! So sweet!
Wonderful!
How fabulous – totally worth all the effort if you ask me! I can’t let my daughter see it, she is tabby crazy and will have to have one (and I’m still working up to cutting out the little doggie). Thanks for sharing.
I just LOVE her…did you use leather for her stripes? So cute…
My daughter saw the kitty and said, “Meow meow. Cute.” I agree!
yeah! thanks so much for all the nice comments!! you’re making me & my new kitty very happy. I think I may have to make her some friends. Maybe smaller ones? smaller is always cute. Also I’m inspired to attempt some of the other creatures I have living in my head now that I’ve had some 3D success!
Adrian, thanks 🙂 I’ve been loving this fabric for a while now and I’m so happy to have found a good use for it.
Melanie, meow meow back to your cutie Eleanor!
Stripes are flannel. I’ve been loving flannel lately. Especially the printed ones at the quilt shops.
Hillary – I just *love* all of your creations! You and your blog are truly an inspiration. I also like the fact that your items are put together so nicely. A pet peeve of mine is people who create wonderfully creative things that are put together shoddily. That is such a shame. Anyway… it looks like you are a wonderful seamstress and that is so refreshing! 🙂
And your kitty? She’s purr-fect! 🙂
haha!
love it!
the pointy little feet are so cute!

LOVE this cat! So cute! 🙂
Ooh cute! The expression on the cat’s face is priceless…
Beautiful. What great work!
