Sewing for Your Cat

photo

 
About Sewing for Cats- There are many neat things you could make for your cat, like; coats, clothes, cat costumes, a stocking for Christmas, cat beds, toys, and cat quilts. Cats don't have the same tolerance as dogs do and may not want to wear cat clothes or coats, but you can still make plenty of things for your cat.   If you intend on having costumes or clothes for your cat, it is best to start them off as kittens so they will get used to the fact of wearing clothes, or hats. Most importantly, have fun with your cat and what you make it!!!
Best Fabric to use- Stay clear of "itchy" fabrics.  Cats, just like humans can be bothered by fabric that is itchy or uncomfortable.  Also, stay away from fabric that may make one sweat.  The best fabrics for cat clothes and coats would be 100 % cotton fabrics that "breathe."  Also flannel and fleece are good for cat coats.
Easy Type Patterns- I have not seen a "cat" clothes or coat pattern, so this is where your design and pattern making skills need to come into place.

Cost and Fabric usage- Cat toys, clothes, and quilts will require much smaller amounts of fabric, therefore, spending much less money.
Comments- If you are making toys for cats, before you close up the hole of a pillow, or stuffed mouse, or fabric toy you just made, add some cat nip!!! Trust me, your cat will love their new toy.

 
 

Here is a handmade cat toy.  A mouse made from corduroy with a yarn tail, and cat nip was stuffed on the inside.  With the yarn, and the cat nip, this is a great handmade cat toy. This pattern was made by a mouse drawn on paper, and then pinned, cut, and then sewn together.
