Heres my Kaitlyne kittie.Its my niece Katies bday this week and I wanted to make her something special to give her on top of the usual gift card /cash(boring but loved by all,including me ,lol ).Anywho.. Kaitlyne and I have a love of baby dolls incommon but we both have a ton so....I thought why dont I disguise her doll as a kittie this year.This is a pic of the raw kittie.I'll post again when she has a face and a pretty dress on.Shes actually about 18" so she should also fit in Katies american girl doll clothes :}. I hope she likes it :? .
She was very simple to make.Lots of fun .I used an off white sheet,free handed a pic of cat,cut it out and hit the sewing machine.Head, arms and body are one piece.Legs 2 pieces and tail one piece. I left bottom of body open to stuff then hand stitched closed with pale pink thread which shows. Same thread showing where I attached legs and tail. Make sure you stuff your head and neck well or you'll have a depressed kittie with her head hanging low. My daughter Anna made her own designed stuffed creature , I'll tell you about it in a few days;}.
