I just love the Wee Wonderfuls creations, and her patterns are clear enough for even a fumblethumbs like me to create something sweet. I changed the look of Pointy Kitty, giving her some vintage flair by using a Moda historic fabric “Kansas City Star” and adorning her with vintage lace and buttons. Her wings are some stiffened lace thingies that I bought intending to use for floss holders (as in a needlebook) but the floss catches too much on them. They made great wings though!
Some notes about this pattern. I should’ve printed out the page with the ‘underbelly’ (C, I think) twice rather than cut it out from the body, simply for ease. And really, there’s no reason the underbelly couldn’t have been a single piece rather than two pieces – it would’ve been that much less fiddling. The fabric, especially something lightweight like I used, should’ve been backed with interfacing first – I had a lot of problems with seams bursting because this little darling has got to be stuffed tight. The head should not be ‘closed’ until after the face is done – that was a PITA and I’m not happy with the security of my buttons, but I did the best I could. The head was a bugaboo to get on, but I don’t have any labor saving ideas of how to do it better. In the end, it came out quite fine and I like the little tilt to it, like she’s listening to you or is about to speak.
