Sew a Cat Nipper



It's is Thursday.....Throwback Thursday
I thought I would try something new and republish an older post.
This was first published August 6, 2011

Hope you enjoy and can use this pattern




OK, I know this looks strange but this is Pete yawning after playing with his toy I made. Poor thing just wore himself out. He goes totally nuts over it, it could be the catnip in it, YOU THINK!

They are really easy to make and your cat will love it, mine do.


You'll need a scrap of fabric 2 1/2" x 10"
Also small amount of poly-fill stuffing and catnip



Sew 1/4" on one end and the side


like so


You need to turn it inside out. Then add stuffing and catnip. Mixing it by putting in one then the other, alternating as you go. Does not need to be stuffed to firmly. You want it sort of flimsy so you can tie it in a knot




Now its time to just let the cat have his or her way with it.






Eventually it will look like this one. The end chew off and all the catnip is gone from that end.

Till next time
Kat

  2. caution putting polly fill in something that pets will tear apart, not good for their insides.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
