After a couple weeks of swiss-cheese-fingers [needles can be sharp!], we are proud to announce that Brett finished her first stuffed Clan Cat.

Lightning Kit is happy to join The Girl and her paper cat gang.

On the table L to R: Mud Kit, Mama's First-Too-Small-Epic-Fail Kit, Patch Kit, and Ant Kit.

Lightning Kit

We used a pattern I found here for a stuffed bear, with adjustments for the tail and ears. Mama did a cat or two for test runs. The two of us did a cat together, then The Girl cut loose on her own. Brett did the entire project herself — cutting the felt, pinning the pieces, sewing them all, stuffing it, and sewing on the details like claws and noses.  Can you tell that girl is proud proud proud.
