Black Tie Cat Collar

I used a small piece of silk Duppioni, two little pieces of white ribbon, one button and a piece of elastic

Cut the felt

Sew on the ribbon. This is for strength. These parts of the felt will be under stress and will stretch if they aren't stabilized. Hmm. You could use stabilizer instead of ribbon.

Cut out the silk.

Sew around the edges.

Slit the silk as shown and iron.

Sew and iron and make it look like this.

And then like this.

Fold over the top and iron. Then sew it to create a channel.

Pull the elastic through the channel.

Sew the ends of the elastic together.

Pull on the elastic to hide the seam inside the channel.

Whoops. Too much elastic. Tie off the elastic to make it shorter.

Hide the knot inside the channel.

Admire cat.

Black Collar Dress Collar for the "Cat About Town"

Here Twitch models a prototype of a white silk Dupioni evening collar from our upcoming Winter Collection. This fashion collection draws from many sources of inspiration, including having too much time on my hands and a recent visit to Daiso where much felt was purchased.

Please excuse the fuzziness of the photography. In a clichéd attempt at authenticity, my model decided to get stoned OUT OF HlS MlND before our photo shoot. The 70's are over, Twitch.

The collar is stitched in a way that makes the "wings" stick out a little from the cat's body. This makes it look more like a real shirt collar.

The back is felt. This gives it body.

This picture shows how the length of the collar is adjustable. This is a prototype, hence the visible stitching. The center piece of Velcro is for my cats´ radio beacon. Cat owners with less advanced obsessive compulsive disorder can attach an ordinary ID tag to the button on the front.

With the Loc8tor I can find them anywhere in the complex. Aliens sound clips - Movie Sound Clips

Gaudy but functional

Triple thickness felt and needle felting. Button and elastic loop closure. Safe, secure and a little tacky. A prototype. (Using up this orange material.)

A cute, personalized camera case

Needlefelting, machine stitching for strength, ribbons and buttons and her name spelled in beads. Cute stuff. The small milky beads at the left are photosensitive and change color in daylight.


















Epiphany. The healing rays of an electronical UV Stinkfinder also cause the subtle transformation

Can you spot the problem below? Correct. I have a reddish, mouth-like opening and have failed to create felt teeth and tongue. Not to mention felt tonsils.

Cute camera cases

zwei niedliche Dinge für halten und schützen die teuer und Verbrechtliche elektronische Schätze. Leider, the Rosarot ist ein bischen zu klein.

Cute little camera cases, but the pink one is a but too small on top. 'try again tomorrow. And maybe mix in the Hounds tooth material with the pink. 'Try to make it steampunk cute.

Cute cat collars

These prototypes are nearly ready to go.

They feature breakaway elastic collar for safety and adjustable Velcro closures for convenient sizing. Twitch's white felt collar picks up too much fur. I'll be using silk Duppioni for those from now on.

An elastic loop attaches the cats tags to the button on the front using two lanyard knots to keep them secure.

These collars were especially made to accommodate an electronic radio beacon. It's hidden behind the collar. The collar is a stylish way to keep your $50 beacon from getting dunked in the water bowl. http://www.loc8tor.com/products.asp
