She is a school girl kitty. She is wearing her adventure cat skirt and a cashmere sweater that matches her eyes.
Her skirt closes with a snap at the back so all her clothes can come off.
I am not used to Midwest excitement- we had a tornado warning today! There was the siren and phone alerts. Crazy weather!
My black kitty is sweet as can be but this one is a different story. She is a goth girl or she at least aspires to be!
I just noticed that her penny slipped out of her basket and onto her sweater! Oh well- I’m not gonna worry about it. I will make sure it gets back in to her basket.
I have been waiting a while to find the right project for the wonderful octopus fabric. Her sweater is a soft blend which includes angora- I can tell because it’s fuzzy and it sheds (a bit).
I blanket stitched around the edges of the sweater and made her a pin to wear. The sweater’s buttons are Victorian era glass. The dress has vintage lace at the hem.
I kept thinking about “the sky’s the limit” as I was making this dress with clouds and flying birds. So I made this kitty a backpack to go hiking with, and she can scale great heights!
She has got an angora-blend sweater which is incredibly soft and fuzzy.
I just love this tropical fabric in the perfect scale for my creations. Her linen jacket is made from an old furniture scarf (not sure that’s what it’s called?). I used the decorative hemmed bit as part of the collar.
Her bag is also linen, made from a bit of a pair of pants.
Here is the third girl kitty-
I gave her a popping purse to contrast with the aqua.
Her cashmere sweater has a sweet lettuce edge.

and glass buttons.
The whole gang!
She is a kitty who loves the garden. She has her flower dress, her cashmere sweater, and her gardening basket. Her dress is made from a light vintage cotton fabric from my mom’s stash- so probably 70’s or 80’s?
She is a tweedy orange cat.
Finally I have something to show you! The last month has been nuts but this week I have gotten some studio time and here she is- the first kitty. She is a bird watcher.
A green cashmere sweater to match her green eyes.
She has binoculars and a bag where she keeps her bird watching notes.
She has a blue turtleneck cashmere sweater and an orange skirt with ribbon trim.
Also, a green scarf and a backpack.
How cute is that flower ribbon! A wonderful trim for her Liberty lawn skirt.
This is the last kitty for now. See you soon with something new!
I have a soft spot for black cats. Here is my sweet boy Jasper.
And here is an adorable girl that I finished this week.
I made her a little flower for her sweater.
I used more of my 3-hole antique buttons on her cardigan. I am using them up but I always remind myself that it is silly to save them. They are meant to get a new life. They were originally a gift from someone who follows my work and probably came from those long womens kid gloves.
Her dress is Liberty lawn fabric. It is such a perfect weight and pattern scale for little kitties.
A kitty in a kitty print dress- So so cute!
Here sweater has some special antique buttons- they have 3 holes.
Her bag-
She is hanging out in the window, just like our real cats do!
