Custom panda

I have velcro on the customized cat and bunny eared hats.(Which can be seen in previous blogs labeled velcro.) I also add velcro upon request to any of my ear flap hat designs.

Here are pictures of a custom made medium sized panda with ear flaps.

For velcro orders, I add some extra length to the ear flaps. I sew on the velcro after cutting out the ear flap pieces. Then sew the flap pieces together. This way most of the stitches are concealed.

Adorable kittens.

I got some pictures sent to me tonight, and got the 'okay' to use them. Jordyn(2y 10m) and Jacie(~1 y-o) are so adorable wearing the Certain(one of my custom made hats.)

Jacie

I think out of the pictures I could choose from, this is my favorite picture.  Jacie is playing with her toy, but still posing for the camera.

Jacie

The hat was ordered for Jacie, but Jordyn is enjoying it also.

I hear there is a photo of Jordyn's and Jacie's dad in the hat.  Maybe he will send it in?  Thank you for the pictures and allowing me to use them.

It is nice to see this hat on a smaller head.  I designed it without a model and it has been changed each time I make one.  I am still looking for a child sized mannequin head to work with.

Small differences.

Slight changes to some designs....

A Certain white cat...

You know what I am talking about, or maybe once you see the picture you will know...

I have been asked more than once if I make a certain white cat.  I have said that I would be able to make one, but nobody has yet ordered one.  So here it is, I took it as a challenge to try to make one.

I studied some pictures, did some sketching and rolled out my brown paper.  I set some guide lines on the brown paper and drew in a pattern, hoping it would turn out okay.  In a last minute decision, I am not sure why, I removed an inch from the pattern.  I originally wanted it to have a circumference of 19 inches but in the end it became 16.5-17 inches.  Seems that I should have added an inch not taken it away.

I also added velcro so the straps could be secured under the chin.  I gave the bow two crease grooves on each side of the circle.  I might have to play with that and make it to have only one crease.  Some of the ear lines might have to be adjusted to be rounder.  I think it turned out quite well for a first try with out adjustments.
