Repeat Steps 46-48 to join
another fi sh to the other end
of the fi shing line. Then repeat the
process to join a fi sh at each end of
the second 3in length of line. If you’d
like to decorate one or more of your
fi sh, you could copy Jenny’s idea: she
worked a row of tiny running stitches
just inside the edge of a small circle
of contrasting felt to attach it to the
face of one fi sh before adding the
eye on top of it.50
Loop the fi shing lines around
the satchel strap, and stagger
their lengths so the fi sh hang at
different heights. Work a few tiny
stitches through the fi shing line
to hold them in place. Use the 6in
length of lace/twine to tie a bow
around the satchel strap over the
shorter lengths.51
Slip the satchel on to Pebbles’
shoulder by pulling it up over
her legs and body.JENNY’S
UNIQUENESS TIP
If you’d like to add more character
to your cat, you can texture the
felt before beginning the project.
Submerge it in very hot water
for a few minutes. Sandwich it
between two layers of towel and
press it gently with your hands to
remove some of the water. Put it
in a clothes dryer on a hot setting
for a while. This will create bumps
and lumps in the felt – and make
your critter look very interesting.
Because wool felt will shrink
during this process, you’ll need
to start with larger pieces.08
