i made a second little stuffed zakka inspired fat cat for my daughter (who was driving me crazy hinting that she wanted one like my son's) i used small pieces of some of my hand-dyed fabrics, and with nothing more than basic sewing skills, produced something sort of fun and kitschy.

there is a photo of this one all the way down at the bottom of my current blog post (cute pictures of kids above though!) if you missed the first moo-tah stuffed animal.

i really do not need a new hobby. but sewing funny little stuffed cats seems like a fairly logical extension of knitting them, doesn't it?

It's a slippery slope; beware! That's very cute, though.

i posted some pictures of how i paint fabric (sorry--middle of the night pictures, so they pretty much suck, but i tried to give a rundown of the steps) since i received several emails asking for info on how i made the fabric. Enjoy! On my blog at http://joycevance.typepad.com
