Patchy Kitties!

Patchy kitties. They are made mostly from materials from different socks. I noticed that many people enquire about kitties past-made (and sold off) & unfortunately, I have not been able to get a hold of those socks anymore. LUCKILY, I do not have a habit of throwing away useful looking pieces of cloth/remnants/what-have-you. I kept them in the hopes that I would be able make a patchwork blanky. Kidding.


Bizzy. Made from 4 different remnants, with maroon jersey for the back of her head, underside & tail. She measures 31cm by 11cm & her head is 16cm across.
Adopted. I cannot make another Bizzy, as she was made without pattern & I do not have the exact same fabric anymore. I can make the general lying down kitty, but you'll have to trust me on the shape.


Giddy is also made up from 5 different materials (blue jersey used for his underside & back of head). Measures 26cm by 10cm; head is 18cm across.
Adopted. Like Bizzy, Giddy cannot be repeated to a 'T'.



Mizzy. She is made from 5 different types of materials (she has a brown & lime green underside, like the bellies of these bunnies here). She measures 36cm by 9cm & her head is 15cm across.


Dizzy & Tizzy (both below) are made from different pieces of socks that have been cut forgivingly, to retain their circular bodies. The hardest thing is to sew them neatly so that the stripes are aligned. Especially difficult for stretchy jersey materials. This involves a lot of tacking, so if you see any of this series with 'loose, visible' stitches, they are from my tacking. No undersides of different materials here!

Dizzy measures 40cm by 10cm by 11cm (that's his measurement across his head). You can tell I purposely hoarded materials from the same type of socks to make him!


Tizzy! She is my favourite of this lot! If somebody buys her, I'll be both happy & sad. Happy to have found her a new home, sad because I won't be able to see her anymore.
Tizzy has been adopted! She is in good hands now! I hope to make a similar Tizzy soon! :)

I have more on the way (& some have been reserved by some friends), but I wanted to share these fellows with everyone first!


Bizzy & Giddy - $69
Mizzy, Dizzy & Tizzy - $79

Embroidered Names: $5 per name

Lil Vera the Bright

Lil Vera the Bright is a happy stripey kitty. She is going home to one lucky little newborn & will no doubt revel in all sorts of bodily fluids. May she last as long as she was meant to....

She only has eyes for you!


Yet unstuffed Vera.

All prettied up & playing with an iTouch! Incidentally, it doesn't come with her.

When buying a present for a baby, do note that strong, contrasting colours stimulate their aptitude for colour recognition, not insipid pastel colours.

Lil Vera - $59 + $5 (embroidered eyes) +$5 (embroidered name, not shown) = $69

Just Hanging Around Part II

So continues the nice sunny weather & more kitties come out to play....

Sunkisst (yes, double 's'), Bleedy, Pinkyton & Missoni catching the lst few rays of sunlight.


Sunkisst, another lying-down kitty, looks abit more sane than Moonshine. She loves the sun... Moonshine just lurks around at night, really....

Bleedy, promised to Nin, my cat friend, who incidentally sews these wonderful silhouettes, also available at Etsy.


Pinkyton (now renamed Kylee) used to eyes like Bleedy's. She's had plastic surgery & her eyes are hand-embroidered now as she is promised to a new-born girl (called Kylee, of course!). For the uninitiated, softies for kiddies under the age of 3 (well, 4, to be safe) shouldn't have any sew-on (or stuck-on) small parts (like buttons) as they might chew them off & swallow them. And all our pullable parts (ears, arms & tails) are sewn over at least thrice for durable play. Read more here.


Gotta get a better picture of this.....


Missoni (aptly named after the brand of stripey knitwear), would love to change her clothes every now & then, but can't. We think it might be personality disorder... as in... she thinks she might be a human....


Sunkisst, Bleedy & Missoni - $59 each
Pinkyton - $59 + $5 (embroidered eyes) + $5 (embroidered name) = $69
