How many cats.......

Question - how many cats does it take to make a cat bag?
Answer - three.

One is on strike for more pay, the second is on his lunch break, and the third has downed tools and is sitting on his work because I have told him off about his sewing not being neat enough :o)

Little Blackie wandered off when he had finished eating, he doesn't even live here, Tabby Lilly went off in a sulk, and Ginger Bugsy said, stuff it I resign.


Eventually the bag did get finished. It's a pressie for my friend Janet who looks after the boys when I am not here. You may remember I made one of these before, and gave it to my friend Sue, so I thought it only fair to make Janet one as well.

I could perhaps squeeze one more out of the last piece of the gazebo roof, that would make it ten bags in total, not bad for something I picked out of a skip.

  2. Hi Sharon. I don't have a die cutter but the Scrapstore does. I scrounged a card template from them because I knew it would come in usefull for something. I have a bigger cat shape as well, it was a greetings card that someone gave me.

  3. Forgot to say, I draw the cats onto the vinyl with pencil, then cut them out with nail scissors.

  9. I like that, 'cat out of the bag', ha ha. Milton I'm sure you would make a perfect model, you're so handsome.

    Yes, the view of the garden from my window is lovely. When I came here there was nothing at all in the borders apart from a couple of lilac trees. I bought some evergreen bushes, and people gave me some, and now it is full all the year round. I like low maintenance. Just mow the grass and trim up. The veg garden at the end doesn't look so good though, not much happening there. Good job it's hidden behind a hedge.
