A Rainbow Cat


Venetia started making this a couple of weeks ago for Maria's birthday. And despite best intentions of being organised in good time, it didn't actually get finished till the last minute.


 But I think it was worth the wait, I love how he turned out, and happily so does Maria.

Venetia managed most of this by herself, but I had to take over for the last bit, sewing the body together with all those long limbs squeezed in there was just a bit tricky for her.

We'd been inspired by this gorgeous cat we saw on Pinterest:

Though since it was for Maria, ours obviously had a rainbow theme. And we went for a different and much longer tail too.



I think we might well be making other variations of this cat in the future, and maybe even a little kitten or two!
