Sewing Gifts for the Cats

On December 16, the fairies asked us to make gifts for the cats. We took some fabric scraps and fat quarters and cut them into rectangles that were approximately 3" by 6". Our girlie picked out one fabric for each of our cats. She had a friend over that day who also has cats and joined in the fun by helping make some for her cats too.

I folded each rectangle in half and sewed up the two long sides, leaving the top open for stuffing.





We used polyester stuffing (I know, it's not very Waldorf of me! 😉) and catnip to fill each little pouch. Then, I simply turned in the end and sewed it closed with the sewing machine. Super easy, and no hidden stitches. Still time consuming though!






The girls were super pleased with their gifts for the cats. The cats found our prototype and loved on it (drooled on it) immediately! They were happy to receive their gifts on Christmas, too.
