Today I'm sharing a tutorial for all you cat fans: how to make a sweet felt pincushion in the shape of a sleeping kitty!

This project originally appeared in docrafts Creativity magazine, last summer. It was inspired by our little old lady cat who curls up in a small ball when she sleeps - often at the other end of the sofa to me when I'm sitting doing some sewing.
The pastel blue felt I used was from this felt bundle. You can, of course, make your pincushion in any colour you fancy, but make sure the face embroidery will stand out clearly from your chosen felt - pastels are perfect for this! Here's the prototype I made for this design, using lilac felt:

Adoro i gatti e il tuo puntaspilli è graziosissimo. Sei bravissima e ci fai veramente un regalo con i tuoi modelli.
Grazie
Best wishes from Australia. Thank you for the tutorial. I hope you don't mind but I have pinned the 2 photos of the pincushion (blue and mauve) onto Pinterest.
. . . . but how could anyone stick pins in????
This is too cute. Thanks for sharing. Your website is lovely and your tutorials are really appreciated. I can't wait to make the pin cushion. Thanks again.
DaffordilAngel - thanks for sharing my project! xx
Anonymous - haha, I hear you. You could always make a kitty brooch instead of a pincushion :)
Lizzie - Thanks for your kind comment! I hope you'll enjoy stitching the pincushion.
Greetings from down under and happy Easter.
