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.

I snitched it off of a previous thread -can't remember who started it now (will look for it later tonight)- but used one of our cat cups for measurements.

BTW, is that a butterfly tattoo on your toe.? If so, I love it.

LOL Well, it's a tattoo but it's not a butterfly. It's more of a paisley design I drew one day while bored in class... decided it was pretty neat and took it to a tattoo shop... voila!

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!!

Umm... I don't really know. (Like I said, first ever sewing project and Mom helped! lol) The bottom is 18.25" around and the sides are 60" long and about 6" high.

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.

Ok, will have to run that by mom because it went straight over my head. (Thanks for the tip, though! Will definitely try it!)

LOL Have to admit, stickin' a cat in it sounds much easier!
