I haven't posted for a while as I've been repeating the same items I've made many times before, but this is a new one. I have to confess despite having some experience in stuffed cats the first one I made ended it's short life in the rubbish bin! Which goes to prove you can never become too over confident in the toy making game. But I blamed the yarn (of course) and moved on to number two. Thankfully I was more successful. I have just started number three to see if this is a one off or I can repeat the success but deciding to do black and white during the darkest months of the year is not the most sensible thing to do. But at least I can blame the yarn again. 😁

So Lovely, I’m wondering whether mine ought to go in the bin also! I can’t get past the head and muzzle sewing together. Yours has given me inspiration to carry on.

Finger crossed Margot. It does take a while to get these kittens right. Its all about stitches to pull in the eyes in three directions. Up to the ears, down to the mouth and corner to corner across the bridge of the nose to create some contours. Also some duplicate stitches to raise areas to plump the whiskers areas and the chin. I also leave a little opening in the jaw area so you keep adding small puffs of stuffing to add more shape. You'll find as you do some stitches it creates gaps in the stuffing so it helps to add more especially behind the eyes. x

This little kitty is sure to be a hit Christine. He has lovely bright eyes. I’m making penguins and have to agree about the black and white! 🥰

Thank you Mary. Yes it takes courage to drop it in the bin when you have spent all those hours making it but then not quite as much as if it's for yourself and I've had a few of those in the past. Often ended up in the dog or cat bed! 😁
