If I write another post about how busy or how scattered I am these days I will bore myself to right to death so instead I’ll post a little evidence of my hurried crafting. How proud was I of my new patterned kitty and her
long floppy tail until Tim pointed out she still has bunny feet. damn. the feet! so here she is, Kitty with Bunny Feet…
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.
The dress fabric is so fab. And her wee face. And her bunny feet (are you sure they’re bunny feet? They look like cat legs to me…).
oh Hillary, sorry, but that is so funny. She is perfectly adorable though. Your fabrics, as always, are lovely.
MY kitty has feet just like that! so i think your kitterkatter’s little feet are JUST FINE.
Oh, she’s adorable, even with the bunny feet! I adore the cross-backed dresses you make!
she is powerful cute…
still full of cuteness
even with bunny feet
🙂
may i have a dress just like that one, please?
I love her bunny feet and all! You have such an eye for patterns that work together.
She’s too cute!
Aw, so cute! Even witht the bunny feet 🙂
Gotta tell you, Hillary, your kitty with bunny feet made my day. Thanks for the post.
A bunny-kitty lovechild. How sweet.
Tell Tim he’s got it wrong, dogs and cats have very high (on their leg) ankles. I know because my little puggy broke hers a few years ago. Of course their pads don’t go all the way up to their ankles so he has something there. Regardless, she is super sweet, I love the dress. That style has always been my favorite top/dress for my daughter and the fabric is smashing. The trees bring out the gold of her eyes.
Love the bunny feet I mean kitty paws:) Great pattern can’t wait for the book.
I like Kitty with the bunny feet!
I think the feet look just dandy.
She’s beautiful!
well, she’s sooo lovely anyway .. can’t wait to see your pattern book 🙂
Honestly, cats *have* big back feet, don’t they? They just don’t all touch the ground when they walk or something. Really. My Mina has dainty front feet but she’s got honkin’ back paws….
I think she’s adorable, bunny feet or no!
melissa and tania,
this kitty/bunny isn’t in patternbook volume 1.. just these guys http://weewonderfuls.typepad.com/wee_wonderfuls/2006/04/bunny_kitty_and.html
It is very cute hillary! And I wouldn’t have noticed the feet thing at all. Her face is sweet and the dress is SO nice.
I love it!
This is my kitty (Bugs). He’s a Manx, so he naturally has a bunny tail and bunny feet.

she’s very sweet looking. ^^
the crossbreeding works for me, cute!
I think she’s lovely and I really adore her dress. I wish it came in my size…
i love your kunny, i mean bitty, i mean bunny-kitty…still not lacking in cuteness even if it is a mutt!? 🙂
I reckon she is perfect! My real cat has feet like that. My brother always laughs at her funny, furry rabbit feet!
This is adorable! I love the dress fabric! It reminds me of Maine. I think our family friend from Maine had a couch in that material. Looks better as a dress!
This is a very pretty kitty.
I love the dress fabric and her face is soooo cute.

how sweet! and the dress!! (and the great tail, look out, she could really hurt you with that!)
I love her.
Oh she is adorable! Cats legs actually are fairly long unless they are of a high breed, so anatomically your kitty is correct~ =)
MB in JT
absolute cuteness!
I won’t lie — those do look a bit like bunny feet, but the sheer cuteness of the rest of her totally distracts you from that one itty bitty thing. Plus, I think she’s darn cute as is. I say keep the bunny feet!
Very cute!
oh my stars!!! this might be my most favorite, hands down!! ack!!
Nooooo!
Cat feet are just like that!
Try getting them to fight you with their back feet and see!
Lovely!
I love, love, love the bunny feet! I think it adds a little panache!
Darling! Love the color scheme.
I have a question for any of you stuffed toy experts. how do you get your toy to not look all puckered around the seam lines? Mine are very puckery. Is it how tightly/smoothly you stuff them? the tension or length of stitches of the seam? the type of fabric? just plain practice? argh.
I might even like her more with bunny feet – I mean, think about that old “Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer” Christmas special – who were your favorite characters from that? The toys from “The Land of MisFit Toys”, right? Just imagine BunnyKitty hanging out with the Charlie in the Box….
Thumper Kitty!
If they’re bunny feet, than my cats must be bunnies. They’re perfect likenesses of cat hind legs!
And she’s adorable.
being a size nine shoe myself I am quite partial to large feet! I think she is perfect! Can’t wait for the book. I am already buying fabric for the future projects…
Your kitty’s lovely! If you hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t have noticed anything different! = )
The dress is really fabulous!
Very nice!! And I love the outfit, I was thinking about making a smock for myself just like that!!
I love the kitty with bunny feet. She is sooo sweet !!!! Clarice
Oh, she’s purrfect! The colors are so soft and sweet… a darling butter cream kitten. Who could resist her!
Hehe, they are still bunny feet! But soo cute…
haha, that is great work! and cats DO have ancles like that! I want to make one too!

She is so lovely! Her tail looks a bit like a squirrel’s too.
Her feet are sweet.
