(I need to figure out how to hide the seams.)
http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/tofisher/DSCF2273.JPG
This is my first sewing attempt EVER. (I did have mom help me a bit.) Can't say that I'm exactly taken with a new hobby (patience is so NOT one of my virtues) but I might be persuaded to make one or two more. (My sis wants a couple for her cat.)
HOWEVER this one is K'Cee's and, being the the lil' snip she is, she won't get in it. :rolleyes: lol
Wow! I think that's a very beautiful cat bed.:) I'm sure that in time K'Cee will learn to love it. Maybe she just needs to see another cat in it first and then she'll get jealous and want it all to herself.:)
Oooo I like it! Where did you get the pattern? Is it pretty easy to make? I think Reggie/Sydney would use it if I made one even if it is technically a cat bed. ;)
wow that's great! I love the faux leopardskin LOL:)
Just put a cat in it!!!:D Great job!;)Quote:

IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!
and comfy... isn't it just like our kitties. .. all that hard work and they ignore it ..
She will probably warm up to her new bed.... Most the kitties here love their carpet condoms..:)
~*nice toes*~ ;)
aww it's cute good job :D
Seams,or not,that is a Fine,Fine Cat Bed,and we bet that your Cats,are very proud,of thier Meowmie,and thier New BED!
That is a GREAT cat-bed!! I know it would cost a lot of money in the shops:eek: ! Great job done :) :)
ps. How much fabric exactly did you need? There is a new craft shop in my town, and I am thinking about going to see what they have!!
Great job! Don't worry, K'cee will hide the seems (when she uses it. ;) :rolleyes: :D )
Does K'cee like catnip? I always sprinkle catnip on a new bed, scratching post, toy, ect. to get the cats interested in it. :)
I agree! It's way too cool and the best way to hid the seams is to get K'Cee in it, and the best way to do that is to put some nip in it for her.
Congratulations on your first ever sewing project! Turned out better than the pajamas I made myself when I was like, 12 or something like that. :rolleyes: ;) :D
very cool! :D I wish I new how to make one, you should see some that I tried, :D There in the trash. Great job,
Wow, great bed. Congratulations on your first ever sewing job.
Now we need to see pictures of K'Cee in the bed.:D
BTW, is that a butterfly tattoo on your toe.? If so, I love it.
I like the fabrics you picked. Very nice.
The trick to hiding the seams is to pin the ring (unstufffed of course) to the right side of the top piece of the base and then place both the base pieces with the right sides together. At this point your ring will be hiden in between the two base pieces. Sew it all together leaving a little space open to turn it right side out. Stuff your base if needed (I don't, I sew layers of batting with the base) and sew closed, stuff your ring and hand stitch close and your done. Hope this helps.
Of course I like everyone else's idea of letting K'Cee hide the seams!:D
Think of it this way.....
K'cee looks at the print and wonders what THAT cat did to mom....
And how it ended up as a pattern on her new bed.:eek:
