Colour Kitties, soft toys


Colour Kitties, my latest sewing pattern


I do love to make toys but it's the designing process that I love most, new ideas clamouring to be heard, made real, an idea that becomes touchable, shareable..that's what I love.


Do you remember the little Golden Book 'The Color Kittens' it was published in 1958, I read it to my children and grandchildren...we love it. Well my kittens don't look like the ones in book but it was the colours that inspired me, the little story is all about the colours of the world and how the kittens 'Hush' and 'Brush' made them.


Of a purple land
In a pale pink sea
Where apples fell
From a golden tree 

 Just one of the lovely verses in the book.



This pattern is reasonably simple, just using fabric and colour to create the fun look.


The little ruffle is just raw edged and cut on the bias, I thought it gave them theatrical look.


You can find my pattern here and I am hoping you might give it ago.
