Purple Cat

So while I am not completely happy with the final result (face not cute enough, ears too pointy, arms and legs too thin) the boys were blown away by my creative prowess. Jasper has named it Purple Cat and now it goes to bed with him and Poppity. So really, there's nothing wrong with it at all.

The pattern is by the amazing Jhoanna Monte Arenez of One Red Robin as found in the mighty Pip's Meet me at Mike's book. 

Things I have learnt - not to be so goddamn hard on myself. There are myriad faults with this cat but then I see Jasper asleep with it under his arm and realise there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Body fabric is an old pillowslip of my brother's. It has an elephant on it which I positioned on Purple Cat's back.

Belly piece is from a 1960s apron of my mum's.
