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.

She is also out shopping but she has chosen different items then the other shopping kitty. Here are all the items in her basket-

This kitty has just finished up at the Farmers Market.

I just love this bird fabric!

She has some vintage fruits, veg, and flowers in her basket, all of which were hat decorations in a long-ago very different life.

A white kitty with blue eyes: such a pretty girl! She has a peach cashmere sweater and a dress made from vintage Liberty lawn.

Her dress is made of vintage Liberty lawn that I inherited from my mom.

She is very fancy with her silk bow and cashmere sweater.

Here is a close-up of her purse-

and her sweater. The sweater has antique 3-hole buttons.

I will be putting the 4 kitties into my Etsy shop today. I have one more, but it is pouring rain today so no photos yet.

This little cat was inspired by some Indian print fabric scraps that my neighbor gave me. They look like bits of clothing and bedspreads that everyone I knew was wearing and using for decor back in the late 60’s/70’s.

Of course no one I knew would have been wearing a cashmere sweater!

She has a purse/bag just like I used to use. I would have made a macrame fringe but it was just too tiny so I settled for knots. Also a cool bead necklace.

She is out in the garden with the only thing left blooming, the alyssum.

This is the last kitty for now. Yes, those are little mice on her dress.

Silk bow at her ear-

Some details- Vintage cotton rickrack at her hem. Antique buttons on her jacket- I think they are some kind of nut shell? Antique shell button on her purse.

I will be putting the last 2 kitties into my etsy shop today. I have pulled out a pile of already-sewed-up tattooed people and have started to stuff them. I also need to pull out the dye pots and dye up some more mermen. Onward!

Here is #3 Kitty.

She has a hot pink sweater with antique, 3-hole, glass buttons. Here is a close-up with her purse too.

A kitty school girl in a dress made from more fabric from my Mom’s stash. This dress fabric is (probably) 70’s vintage lawn. It was one of my mom’s unfinished projects- all cut out but never sewed up. I love being able to give it a new life.

She has a school bag, a cabled cashmere sweater with heart buttons and a ruffle edge, and a lacy shawl.

What’s in her school bag?
