Stitch 50 Cats by Alison J Reid

Even though Betty & Bagel (our office cats, you know how they get!) tried their hardest to stop us releasing this book, we're delighted to say it's finally here and utterly fabulous!

“Stitch 50 Cats” by Alison J Reid is packed with patterns for all our favourite feline friends. From the sleekest Siamese to the fluffiest Persians, and even the more exotic big cats, you'll find a design to capture your heart. Each pattern comes with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and full-size templates, making it ideal for crafters of all skill levels.

Imagine crafting adorable little kitties to adorn your bags as charms, brighten up your home as accessories, or even transform into larger plush toys. They’re guaranteed to bring joy to any cat lover in your life – perhaps even causing a happy flurry of excitement!

Alison has expertly used pattern, colour, and shape to really bring out the unique character of each breed, and capturing these details in felt was crucial. Luckily, the huge range of felt colours available, including those with lovely fur-like textures, made this possible. The robust, non-fraying nature of felt means it's perfect for creating all those special little details that make each cat breed so recognisable. Alison also uses small amounts of wool curls and roving to add delightful textures, making them utterly stroke-able!

What's more, each cat pattern can be traced directly from the page (or enlarged if you fancy making a bigger, cuddlier version!). The straightforward instructions mean even complete beginners can dive straight in. And because all the cats are hand-sewn, you don’t need a sewing machine – perfect for crafting on the go.

Whether you choose to stitch up a whole pride of your favourite breeds, or create bespoke gifts for the cat-obsessed friends in your life, this book is sure to provide hours of creative fun and inspiration. We think it’s simply the cat’s pyjamas!
