Thick, Orange and Fuzzy (and I don’t mean Purcey)
I just had to start something new while I was waiting for a gadget to finish off my Tabby-Cat. Tabby-Cat is all finished and sewn up except for part of the side seams where I need to sew in the ties. I really didn’t like the design of the Ā ties in the pattern – 2 […]
