This little cat purse is one of my earliest patterns and it's still a favorite. It's made entirely from felt, sews up quickly, and is a great project for kids, beginners, or anyone who needs a cute handmade gift in a hurry. I've seen so many fun versions of this one, and people really go wild with their fabric and color choices.
About the Pattern
The pattern includes 5 pattern pieces and detailed written instructions with 24 color photos walking you through every step. A complete supply list and cut list are included so you know exactly what you need before you start. Skill level is beginner. No zippers, no interfacing, just felt and thread. You can add optional iron-on glitter to the ears and customize the strap length to fit a child or young adult.
Materials
- 1/4 yard felt for the outside (or a fat quarter each of two colors if you want a different inside)
- Coordinating fabrics for the face insert and ears (a scrap as small as 8" x 8" works)
- Optional: iron-on glitter for ears (2.25" x 4" is enough)
- Wool felt scrap for eyes and nose
- Fabric for the strap, 3" x desired length (40" width of fabric works great for a child or young adult)
- Sewing thread
