P


icking an outfit for
a special occasion is
often as much fun as
the event itself. Finding the
perfect garment, then choosing
just the right accessories to
match is half the enjoyment,
and this fashion forward kitty
certainly looks pleased with her
selection! Combining turquoise
and polka dots with splashes
of pink, the attention to detail
in this ensemble is what makes

it so delightful to stitch. Be it
the pretty pink rose attached
to the hat, the fun tassel on her
bag or the glimmer of gold in
her statement necklace, this
scene is full of interest. And
it’s all brought to life with the
cleverest shading. By using
similar tones for each element
in the design – subtle greys for
the mirror’s reflection, soft blues
for the rug – the piece is given
fabulous depth and movement.
