Scaredy Cat Fabric...
I’m excited to share a new fabric collection with you!
Amanda Niederhauser’s debut fabric collection, Scaredy Cat is the perfect mix of cute and creepy.
Amanda, better known as JediCraftGirl designed this collection for Riley Blake Designs after being inspired by her daughter’s art major assignment—create a cartoon that was both scary and used shapes. Sounds like a fun assignment, doesn’t it?
And if you love cats, you’re in luck. This collection of oranges, blacks, whites, and a hint of mint features a mischievous cat in two ways. There’s also pumpkins, bones and a fabulous organic grid print.
I have a few projects in mind for this collection but started by making cats. Appropriate, right?
I used the BonBon Pets pattern by my friend Dana from Made Everyday and these supplies:
Scaredy Cat Fabric Collection (Fat Quarters)
Benzie Design Felt
Aurifil Thread (piecing and stitching the bottom closed)
Chunky Thread (for the whiskers)
Poly-Fil Stuffing (for the mini cat, you only need a little)
Fabric Glue (I love Aileene’s)
Instead of sewing on the ears, eyes, and nose, I glued them. The whiskers are only attached under the nose. I tried to keep the colors of each cat tonal, but since no two are a the same, you can go wild and mix it up.
Dana’s pattern and instructions are superb. It’s beginner and kid friendly too.
Amanda’s fabric collection is in stores soon and she has five quilt patterns that support the collection. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something really fun at the hint of mint in this collection. Maybe it brings down the slightly creepy vibe? Hehe.
I can’t wait to see what you make with Scaredy Cat! It’s never too late to start making project for Halloween!
