"It was a fun process though my end result was not entirely what I had anticipated. My five year old had only to say, "geez, that's weird" but I had fun none the less! "

hermione farthingale's Journal
"she's my first non-flatsy stuffed animal, and my first attempt at button joints so her arms and legs move, but not her head. she is heather pink acrylic felt. she was made kinda freeform, though in hindsight i wish i'd made a pattern."

Hey Lucy
"I'm afraid she looks more like a mouse than a cat. But her little eyes are tiny vintage beads, and her bow and sash are vintage rayon ribbon, so at least I got the vintage part in there, even if she isn't very cat-like."

Lori
Patache
"Here is my softie. Her name is Ms. Audrey and is somewhat inspired by
Ms. Hepburn, but actually resembles E.T. a bit. At least she is well
accessorized."

Jessica Poundstone
"When I say I can't sew, I mean there have been
disasters involving the sewing on of mere buttons : ) But I love assignments, so I had to find a way to
participate! This little kitty was made from one sheet of paper (including the scraps used to stuff it). "

"I used felt wool and embroidery thread to
make my interpretation of "vintage catwalk"."

Kathleen Jennings
Errantry
"They are very small (with dimples and bellybuttons and all!), and mostly hand sewn/embroidered/crocheted. I think I overestimate the enchantment of detail!"

Kari Edmonds
Spunky Turtle
"Here is my very first softie. She was hastily made, but so cute none-the-less. She is supposed to be wearing vintage glasses, but it ended up looking more like a super hero mask. Oh well, we should all be mistaken for super heros from time to time."

"My first attempt at a softie! Evangeline is all handmade, her body made from felt and her dress knitted with yarn from my stash."

Burnt Offerings
"It was inspired by Jas the Cat, created whilst watching Dr Phil, and intended to house a present for a little persons birthday in a weeks time. I wasn't going to participate this month, what with a uni assignment and exam but, coming across the gift bag in Big W, it was a sign for me to.......get a life!"

"Participating in the Month of Softies is a very important New Year's Resolution for me. This is my first Softie submission, and my first sewing project since 1986--an apron for grade 8 sewing class! Thank you for inspiring me to make the time to do something I have really enjoyed. I had a great time making this funny little cat."

Violette
Violette's Folk Art
"I call her Bohemian Kitty. She subscribes to the school of "More is More" and likes to embellish herself to the hilt. BK is a bit of a maverick! Her wings are for soaring to great heights. She has a sewn and painted body and her head is a half of a styrofoam ball that is papier mached."

"Buttercup and Sunshine - It was tricky and I shouldn't have been working on it so late at night. There was a lot of upside down facings and inside out sleeves and maybe a little cursing. But now they're done and I just love them!"

Christine Chu

" I haphazardly sewed Little "Miss Prissy" last night. I call her that because despite my protests, she insisted that I give her a long swan-like neck, which I had to stitch by hand."

"A kitty made from vintage pink tweed. She was originally going to have a rhinestone collar but after digging through my ribbon stash and jewelry box, I decided to go with black & white satin topped off with my grandmother's metal broach."

Ann Tabor
Stubborn Lights
"I made Stripey Kitty out of vintage fabric purchased from one of my favorite shops, mantofev.com. I was going to put a face on him but everything I did looked stupid, so I just left the face blank and I actually like him better without a face."

Christy Jenks
Swoozie Ramblings
"His name is Clarence (he told me). He is hand sewn since I sew faster by hand than by machine, anyway."
