Cat Pillows--simple to sew

Here is a sketch of pattern.

from gayleart.com
I cut the pattern from a square and then cut a out two sections--one for the back of cat and one to make ears. I used a copier to reduce the pattern to create 4 sizes. These cats are made with soft, suede-type fabric. It was difficult to machine-sew the seams as the needle dragged. The backing seemed to be rubbery. The opening, left at the bottom for stuffing, was easy to hand-sew shut. I drew a face on paper pattern and then cut out areas to use as guide for face. I used dry-erase markers for the faces. Dry-erase markers are usually permanent on fabric. I wanted the pillows to be safe for children.
