Air Force Fat Cat Pincushion

I feel like I'm on a role this month because I've managed to get another new pincushion completed: US Air Force! I think she's quite cute if I do say so myself. 

She's made from various colors of felt and is stuffed with polyester fiberfill. Due to the small pieces, a lot of these pincushions are sewn by hand. 

She stands approximately 5.25 inches (13.25 cms) tall and measures approximately 11 inches (28 cms) around the belly. And she, like all my other creations, is handmade by me and from my own patterns.

Handmade Felt Fox Pincushion

I got a new pincushion made! Even though it was no where near the list I had wanted to accomplish, I got something done. Yay!

My new fat fox pincushion! I really loved how this little tubby guy turned out. I was sorry to see him go...but he has gone on to him new forever home and he is loved. What more could I ask for!

This cute felt fox is a completely functional pincushion for sewers or can be used as a cool decorative piece. The majority of this pincushion was hand sewn. He, like all my other creations, is handcrafted and made from my own patterns.

 He stands approximately 5.25 inches (13.25 cms) tall and measures approximately 10.5 inches (26.75 cms) around the belly.

New Fat Cats!

Hello everyone! Wow, it's been awhile since I last posted! Apparently time has gotten away from me. So let's see what has happened throughout the last few months.

The holidays get crazy frantic with all the Fat Cat Pincushion orders going out. The grand tally was 238 cats, with some pigs and rats thrown in, went out to new homes in 2014! And the best seller for the holiday months was the Quilting Cat Doris (now available in 2 colors)!! Followed closely by the Reindeer Cat and the Scottish Bagpiper!

And so now onto some new styles for this year! 

Red and Green Care Cats

 Catrina: Day of the Dead Cat. I think I was most impressed with the felt flowers I made for the hair for the front of the dress. Her face is a mix of embroidery and paint.

Oliver: Cat in a Teddy Bear Costume(Custom request that I REALLY didn't want to give up). His hood is also removable and has cat ears sticking out behind the bear ears and are able to be seen from the backview!

Right now I'm also working on Police Officers, Firemen, Pilots, Artists, Librarians, Zombies, Seasonal Fairies and lots of custom requests! Any suggestions for some new Fat Cat styles to make in 2015? And I'm also thinking of adding in some non-pincushion Fat Cat items such as coffee cup cozies, ornaments and magnets into my shop this year

All these items, and more, are available in my Etsy shop to purchase!

New Fat Cat Pincushion Styles!

Hello all!

I've gone ahead and added some new Fat Cat characters into my Etsy shop!

 

(Xeline the Weighty Prowless Pincushion)

 

 (Lara the Dutch Girl Pincushion)

 

(Sydney the Pink Leopard Pincushion)

All my fat Cats are completely functional pincushion for sewers or can be used as a cool decorative piece for collectors. The majority of my pincushion are hand sewn. They are handcrafted with love and made from my own patterns!

The pincushions are made of from felt and various trims, adornments and materials.

The faces consists of ballpoint and straight pins, so please do not give them to small children or let animals play with them, and are firmly stuffed with 100% polyester fiberfill. The sand pouch sewed inside the pincushions gives them more stability and weight. 

Hope you like my Fat Cats! 

New Fat Cat Pincushions: Harley Quinn and Shirley Temple

After how ever many months I've finally gotten a couple of new pincushion cats done!

Harley Quinn (AKA Hefty Quinn) is now my new favorite! I will admit she took a bit of time to figure out her patterns to get the right proportions, but I love the final product. Only took 3 tries, but that's how it goes...

She's in her classic red and black jester catsuit, white bib and over-sized mallet.

 Shirley Temple Fat Cat was made for a custom request. She's wearing a pink ruffled dress, white tap shoes (I added small beads to the bottom so that she makes a slight noise when put down) and signature curly locks.

 And I also added in a removable silver tiara.

The cat pincushions are made primarily of various colors of felt. They are completely functional pincushions for sewers or can be used as a cool decorative pieces. The majority of these are hand sewn.

They stand approximately 5.5 inches (14 cms) tall and measures approximately 11 inches (28 cms) around the belly.

Still to come: Zombies!
