Mr Kitty

This is Mr Kitty who I made last Saturday. He was a birthday present for my good friend and trading buddy Andrejs who loves kitties! but can't have one as it's too much commitment, and his lovely gal is allergic.

He is made with the inspirational kitties I posted a few posts ago in mind.. I didn't have a pattern or much idea of what I was doing so I just winged it, and learn blanket stitch from the internet along the way - the rest of the "embroidery" I just made up.

I have certainly learnt a lot from it - a lot of what not to do - so next time will be better - but I am proud of him anyway and was proud to give him away to my friend.

Perhaps I will participate in a loobylu month of softies down the track - the inspirations for this all came from the vintage catwalk entries of a few months back.
