Description

In this in the hoop project, you can make a kitty, kitty carrier, kitty bed and pillow, kitty treats, kitty fish toy, and zipper pull! The project is made entirely in the hoop except for attaching the legs which is done with thread, buttons, and a long needle. Its very easy especially following along with our tutorial. This project is for 4x4, 5x7, 6x10, and 8x10 hoops. The smaller 4x4 hoop size will be tricky as you turn the legs and fabric. Minky or faux fur is highly recommended for the kitty! Here are some supplies you need and more information.

** The yarn ball and the feather stick toy are not part of the tutorial, but you can make them easily
1. For the feather stick, use a wooden kitchen skewers, a piece of embroidery yarn or floss and a couple of feathers. Tie the string to the end of the stick and the other end of the string to the feathers.
2. For the yarn ball, use a large bead, a small 1" styrofoam ball, or other small round object. Glue yarn to the ball shape with hot glue or fabric glue. Then begin wrapping the round object with yarn, changing directions periodically, use a dab of glue when changing directions to hold the yarn so it doesnt slip. Make it big enough that it is not a choking hazard to small children or pets. When you are satisfied, make a knot by feeding the loose thread through a wound section on the ball and then tieing a self tightening knot. Leave a 5" tail of yarn and snip.

Resizing Embroidery Designs:

Because our embroidery designs come in multiple sizes, we do not recommend resizing our designs. Resizing a design can result in unpredictable results. They cannot be enlarged or shrunk down and still stitch out in the same quality as was originally digitized. And this is why our embroidery designs come in multiple sizes.
