| Kitty, atop Hershey's kisses. |
I stitched up a few kitties for family and friends. Just wool felt, embroidery floss and polyfill stuffing. Very easy.
The pattern is available if you sign up for a newsletter here:
I did sign up and downloaded the pattern, but enlarged it to make a kitty about 5 1/2" tall. I also changed the eyes, as follows:
For the eyes, I used 3 strands of black embroidery floss and also 3 strands for the pink nose, which is just satin stitch.
To attached the face to the front, I used two strands of white floss, and a simple running stitch. Two strands, color to match the felt, are also used to whip stitch the front and back together.
Finally, I used the entire 6 strands of floss for the whiskers, which are just pulled through the layers and trimmed, for a 3-dimensional effect.
Happy Valentine's Day!
