Vintage Catwalk

I have been painting my patio in the stifling heat for the last week, and only have 3 days left of holidays. These last days are to be just for ME. (I tried telling this to the friends who invited themselves over for lunch on Wednesday, but they obviously weren't listening.)



So part of the ME time today was making my contribution to Loobylu's "A Month of Softies" for January. The theme was "Vintage Catwalk" and I only decided on what to do when I was tidying up my sewing area. I came across a Japanese book on making little tiny flat toys - so I used it's kitty pattern. I added a vintage Italian lace flower to her noggin. I'm quite pleased with the result - I have been dying to use the little packet of these lace flowers since I got them, and now the perfect project!





Vintage Catwalk



It is made out of wool felt, has glass bead eyes, vintage Italian lace and is stitched with cotton thread. Size is TINY, but not unmanageable.

    I'm a regular visitor to Loobyloo, and saw your name on the Month of Softies Christmas Hangup gallery, and thought it must be you. And it is!

  6. Hi Cerise and Lissa,

    I don't have a title for the book because it is in Japanese and I don't speak it! However the ISBN is ISBN4-8347-6317-X. Hope that helps!
