black kitty

I got sick. Totally kicked my butt. I am getting back to work slowly.

I have a lot of projects started- I am stockpiling dolls- cut out and stored in bins- thinking about and planning for and getting excited about Renegade Brooklyn. Kitties on the desk, Foxes in the bags. I found out that I can stuff dolls while lying in bed coughing.

Lining up the kitties-

And pulling out and trying on the fabrics for clothing-

One finished!

Isn’t this Liberty fabric gorgeous?!

Here is a very over-exposed photo so you can see her nose. It is so hard to photograph the black kitties.

More Liberty fabric but I’m not going to put that in the title since I ended up getting picked up by crazy  fake Patriotic spam sites when I did. Yep, weird.

This kitty looks ready for summer. Maybe she is an Australian kitty. The Liberty fabric was from a trip to London in 2008. It has been waiting in the stash for just the right moment.

All the kitties will go into my Etsy shop in the next day or two.

I found some more Heather Ross fish fabric in my stash. This piece is a different colorway then what I used on this kitty.

I found some cashmere in my stash to go with the colors in the fabric. I bet you can guess that I have a BIG stash of old cashmere sweaters.

I felt that this was a color challenge- not my typical choice and as a result, kind of exciting!

The coat makes me think of Mary Poppins. I’m not really sure why.

I love my Liberty!

I made this kitty’s skirt out of some of the fabric that I bought in Paris last June. Here is the other girl I dressed in Liberty since that trip.

Her sweater is very soft cashmere. Her all black kitty self is made from a wool/angora blend. She looks kind of shy to me.

Taking photos is a challenge in this season of short days. I only have a few hours when the light is okay- and that is if the weather is cooperating!

She will be going to NYC too.

I love this vintage fabric. It came from the estate of a seamstress- someone I know bought the house and the attic full of fabric and unfinished projects (among other things). This was a smallish piece, about 1/3/yard. I believe she used the rest to make kids’ pajamas. I would guess it was from the 50’s? I am so happy to find a good use for it- a perfect fabric to go with the argyle!

Perfect timing for first days of school!

She is made from the softest cashmere sweater- you can’t help petting her.

I made her a pleated skirt. I’ve never made one before. It was fun and easy with the plaid- it has all those marker lines.
