my creative space: blue cat

I have once again completely ignored my "to do" list over there → and decide to make a little cat softie for my little man! I have been meaning to make one for ages, he really loves cats and spends a lot of his time crawling around on the floor pretending to be one, it's fun having a little pretend cat!
I used some bright blue fleece and a softie pattern from the internet which I completely changed (it was a bear). It only took less than an hour to sew, with a few alterations and then stuffed with a little help... there was fluff everywhere :)  "M" chose the eyes and nose, I made the whiskers out of wool. He LOVES blue cat!!!


Maybe a little too much... after about 5 min of intense loving, blue cat had a bit of a tail explosion, due to being spun around in circles by his tail! I think a little medical procedure will be required :)


There are loads more crafty, creative people over at our creative spaces...

    He's lovely Lumina! Really cute but stylish too - I like toys that both kids AND adults love. And he's obviously a huge hit with your boy.

    He's Fabulous! Love those white whiskers off the blue, so sweet. I know what you mean about the tail, when I made 'Steve the Cat' I realized they just can't resist. Steve was made out of a knitted jumper sleeve and his knitted tail is getting longer and longer. : ) x

    ps. I bought two fab black cat masks for my two at Monkey Puzzle at Summer Hill. Cheap as chips and have lasted and lasted. They love them.

    I love Blue Cat!! He is super gorgeous, and so lovingly made by you, with a little help! My bunnies often have leg explosions too, narrow bits seem to have this issue. I'm sure you will fix him up in no time. Lovely post xo

    So cute! I had the same problem with a sock monkey I made- I resewed it using a straight stretch stitch and it coped much better.
