Her clothes, not her fur!
The pup gave me such a hard time with her outfit! I made 2 shirts for her that got rejected, and a corduroy jacket. Finally we agreed on this.
Her purse has a metal bird bead, hanging from the strap.
Blue and Orange Dog

Dapper Dog
Bold striped jacket, Liberty vest, and a leather messenger bag. Now that’s some fashion!
Birdwatching Dog
She has her binoculars and super soft cashmere sweater.
She has her special bird shirt on.
Her bag has a notebook to list all the birds she’s seen.
Cowboy Dog
Some treasures are being uncovered as I clean out the attic. I found this awesome 80/90’s cowboy fabric and figured it was time to make a cowboy dog. Then I uncovered a box of leather pieces and the plan came together.
I yearned for a fringed vest or jacket as a teen. I thought they were SO cool 🤣
He has a snack in his bag.
The cowboy hat was what I was most worried about but I’m very happy with how it turned out.
He has “surprised” ears!
A Lady Gardening Dog
She has a sunhat, a gardening apron, and a basket of flowers. Also, a soft cashmere sweater and a garden journal.
I’m having fun with the hats again. I wanted a better way to keep them on the doggie heads and I figured out I can Make a loop around the ears. More hats ahead!
She has a flowery Liberty lawn shirt. Her basket is filled with little (cloth) flowers, mostly from vintage hats.
Cat in a Plaid Jacket
This time is a black and white cat. He has white front paws and a white nose: a very fuzzy nose!
He has a cashmere sweater too.
And here is the whole family/litter!
And our other sweet kitty, hanging out with her kitty friends-
Inspired by Jasper
This is Jasper and he has been inspiring all these black kitties.
He is such a sweetheart. He is very attached to me so I call him my familiar 🧙♀️!
Here is an artsy looking black cat- I am sure this outfit would look amazing on Jasper.
Lots of bright colors on this fellow.
Black Cat, Liberty Dress
Just like it is really hard to photograph a black cat, the same is true for a black kitty doll!
She has some 3-hole antique buttons on her cardigan.
I bought this Liberty lawn fabric at the beginning of the pandemic when everything shut down- doing some retail therapy. I’m not sorry 😆 It is hard to see but the dress has a tie in the back. Also, a sweet lacy edge on the neck and the hem.
Aqua Kitty Girl
It’s black cat time. First up is this sweet kitty with a fuzzy white nose. She is wearing a dark aqua angora sweater with a ruffle at the lower hem. Her skirt is made from some 70’s Laura Ashley fabric. And yes, it has been in my fabric stash since that time!
She has a beaded necklace with a cat face. It matches her outfit beautifully. Her nose and her sweater both have angora in them- it makes sort of a halo of fuzz.
OrangeMan
This fellow was a very special order to memorialize a very special kitty friend.
Apparently he was a super cat so of course he needed a super hero cape and mask.
Underneath he has his everyday normal cat (very Clark Kent-ish) disguise.
Here are the things in his briefcase. I’m not sure that the cape would fit in there but I can pretend.
This was a fun project. OrangeMan- 2002- 2022. May he enjoy his forever Celestial Tea Party.
