Cat sewn out of faux fur

#v17124

Make this soft and fluffy stuffed cat that only needs to be fed with hugs. It's sewn out of faux fur and decorated with pipe cleaners, pom-poms, googly eyes and other details in felt. Finally, the cat gets a pretty beaded necklace with a name tag.

Cut out the pieces from the design sheet –tongue, ears and eye patch. Attach them to the felt with pins and cut out.

Here you can see the cut-out eye patch, tongue and ears. Keep in mind that the ears should be flipped.

Pull the thread through the eye of the needle using the needle threader.

Turn the parts for the ears facing each other and sew them together.

Fasten the thread on the back and sew a few extra stitches in the last stitch.

Fold the tail piece in half and pin the edges together.

Sew the tail together.

Sew the ends together.

Fasten the thread and pull it through the stitching.

Cut the thread.

Find the centre of the body part and sew the tail on the inside.

Turn the piece over and attach the ears with a pair of pins. Remember to turn them around with the pink side up.

Fold the tail and fur into the piece.

Fold the piece in half and pin it together along the edge.

Leave an opening of around 10 cm so that you can turn the piece to the right side after sewing.

Sew the piece together, making sure the ears are all the way at the edge so that they are also stitched.

Now the entire body is stitched together except for the opening. Leave the needle and thread but remove the straight pins.

Turn the piece with the ears and tail to the right side through the opening with the fur side on the outside. Fill the body with doll stuffing.

Now sew the opening together.

Fasten the thread cut off any excess.

Cut a pipe cleaner into three equal pieces for the whiskers.

Sew whiskers, a pom-pom nose, tongue, eye patch and eyes on the side with the green ears facing foreward.

Start with the eye patch. Fasten the thread and tie a knot at the end.

Sew on the eye patch so that the edge of the patch on the right side lines up with the middle of the ears.

Fasten the thread by sewing a few small stitches into the body just below the eye patch. Cut off the excess thread.

Now sew on the tongue. Pull the needle through the middle of the tongue piece and tie a knot on the thread.

Place the tongue in the middle of the body just below the eye patch. Sew it in place with three stitches down through the middle. Fasten the thread and cut off the excess thread.

Now sew on the whiskers. Gather the three pipe cleaners and twist them tightly around the middle twice.

Sew on the whiskers just above the tongue. Sew a few times around them.

Sew on the nose by pulling the thread through the middle of the pom-pom. Sew a few more stitches down through the tongue and up through the middle of the pom-pom. Fasten the thread and cut off the excess thread.
