"I can also report that Audrey has affectionately named this cat 'Meow' (or her approximation of 'meow' which sounds something like 'maaaow'), and has heartily welcomed her into her personal flock of softies."

"This little knitted cat has a very stylish pillow to sit on, made from a piece of vintage fabric. I guess that makes it more of a Vintage Catsit than a Catwalk... maybe he's resting after a nice stroll?"

"I hand-sewed them from felt, vintage velvet, vintage buttons for the noses, and fake fur from various sources.
They are dressed with eyelet trim from one of my mom-made 80's outfits on the grey kitty,
a vintage ribbon and bead on the blue kitty, and a rather new sparkly tulle ballerina outfit on the pink kitty!"

"Don't laugh- it's my first sewing project. Well, except for the gym bag that was our ONLY project in 7th grade home economics. Do they still teach that? I was so bored and miserable in that class that I messed up my 4.0 GPA and got a C and haven't sewn a thing until now"

is not as fancy as the other vintage cats, but she does'nt mind. She's
happy, spending her days under the gum tree; pondering."

Her dress is made from a 50's era piece of fabric my husband got as part of a lot (also for her quilt), and her shoes are made from black velvet ribbon that was in my grandmother's sewing box."

"I decided to take the "walk" part of the theme literally and put my cats on a pair of socks. I prefer to go barefoot but when my feet get chilly socks are the next best thing. And when you're lounging around on a chilly evening, feeling a little blue, what could cheer you up more than a handsome pair of cats on your socks."

"My inspiration was The Pink Panther. . . go ahead and laugh - hah hah! This is what happens when you are new to sewing and think that you'll whip up a practice panther first out of green felt that you have on hand, but then realize you are in way over your head with these monstrous proportions and pattern-less very difficult head shape. You end up with a green pink panther. Oh well, my dog Bella liked him!"

" Her name is Betty, and she's a bobby soxer - I guess that's how I interpreted the "vintage" part of vintage catwalk. On her skirt instead of a poodle I painted a black cat, and to give her a touch of glam I made "sequins" for her cat-eye glasses out of glue and glitter. It was improv, but I actually like how it turned out!"
