Stuffed Curtain Kitties - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

Comments

Love it, Christine, as always! Just wrote an article for my mag called "Sinister Gingerbread" and I dive into the haunting history of this spicy treat!!

Melisa Kennedy

Does anyone here save their cat's whiskers or claws? I wonder what crafty thing Christine would come up with to use them.

Tracy Dendy

These are the cutest!! I love the "bloopers" when you add them at the end! I am also a MFM lover, have you ever listened to Morbid?! Alaina and Ash are so fun and they live in Massachusetts!

Jessica Darne

Right?! Poof's personality as it is as a cartoon combined with your drawn version of him as well as your character building skills...I think it would be a smash! Just sayin'! :) I could see it as a mash up between the dark undertones and humor of Courage the Cowardly Dog with a sprinkle of Garfield thrown in as well. You already have a built in audience for sure :D

Jenny McKinsey

Thank you!!! You’re amazing, truly :D

Maxim Nikolaev Linkov

Hello Maxim!! YES! I just posted a link to your tier with updated music :))

Christine McConnell

Thank you so much Jenny! I would die to watch that cartoon series myself! :D

Christine McConnell

I would totally watch your cartoon version of Poof in an animated series any day! I may have awwww-ed more than a few times upon watching this come together. I love how you create interesting characters with such vibrant and fun personalities like the elves, and this case your own precious little Poof. Hope February is treating you and everyone well in this new year!

Jenny McKinsey

Christine! Will the song from this episode be put up on the Dropbox ? I personally really liked it and would love to put it in my playlist πŸ˜„πŸ˜

Maxim Nikolaev Linkov

Sooo cute! And I love the new sewing machine!!!

cassie ward

I cannot wait for the pdf, I am wanting to make these of my lynx point and orange orientals, Archie and Elvis.

Emilie Tabaka

So lovely πŸ₯°

Hermine-Virginie Simon

They look so much bigger on the curtains 😲 and those eyeballs, all glossy and fresh.πŸ‘Œ but, Barnabus be like: I legit would have been a better model😀 And Poof, side-eyeing back : fluff off, you garbage cat!🧐😁

Emy AUBIN

So cute

Cee Fee

So so cute! 😍 Poof is just glorious. I would love to see more of these simpler crafts sprinkled amongst the big projects if at all possible - a mix of aspirational and achievable! Some of my fav episodes are the early craft ones, like the coffin gift box, apron etc. Thanks for another wonderful episode, Christine! πŸ–€

Lily

This was adorable & love seeing Poof in Keane kitty style. While recreating my giant pittie pup to hang on a curtain would look hilarious, think I'll start with a smaller furball

Kimberly June

Aww, adorable poof’s expression would have me handing over whatever he wanted…deed to my house, here take it! anything! Haha

Harper Leigh

So cute and fun! xxxx

Victoria Aubrey

Oh! The whimsey of it all! What a magical 23 minutes! Everytime I watch your content, Christine, I am transported into a land of fantasy and magical creations! Thank you for being so wonderful and giving!

Rana Boustany

I love Simon's Cat. But angry Poof reminds me of Grumpy Cat (Tardar Sauce) so much.

Wendy Armitage

a free motion quilting foot would have made machine stitching details much easier Very cute project

Danee Paullin Kaplan

Those are adorable! I have a live curtain kitten, haha. I found her just before Thanksgiving as an abandoned 8-ish week old kitten. Her name is Chessie Cat and she's a spitfire!

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

Loved watching this! I think this would be so much fun to make. Really needed this✨

Noelle Nurmi

This episode was SO much fun! And you’ve finally done something (besides a couple of the cooking things) that I can actually do!! *happy dance* I’m mainly a yarn crafter. While I cannot draw realistically, I absolutely can draw cartoonish. I’m going to make some black kitties to hang on my curtains in my vintage Halloween craft room! Hope you are doing well with the snow and gloom. I have s.a.d. myself, so I get it! Be well, and thank you!!πŸ§‘πŸ–€

Tonya Moore

Omg I could never imagine Poof being angry and now there's a visual representation, this is so good

Tori

Adorable! Love your Bernina, I have a vintage one and it is my favorite thing. On my machine there's a way to have the needle stop in the down position so that turning fabric is really easy. If you haven't used that yet and think you might like it, I recommend it for all those tight corners.

Rebecca Phelps

Oh my gosh, they are SO cute!! My painting skills aren't quite the levels yours are, but it might be fun to try tackling something like this!

Tammy R Dowden

The name of this made me laugh. Stuffed curtain kitties just sounds so funny to me. I had a crappy day and this made me smile. Can’t wait to watch - I already know I’m going to love it.πŸ₯°

Lauren Smith

I love them both they are adorable 😊 β™₯️

Victoria Gates

So beautiful, best thing to make to remember our big beautiful boy Steve, we lost him in our house fire last year so it will be a visual reminder of him.

DesiGlitters

They are absolutely adorable and magical ☺️!

Victoria and Chris

I love the kitty outtake at the end!! And a little sewing machine tip - you can take the presser foot off, and lower the feed dogs (the little jagged things that move the fabric along) and then you can move the fabric in all directions while you sew. It takes a minute to get the hang of how fast to move the fabric and how fast you sew, so that the stitches are all more or less the same length - but it makes sewing complicated shapes easier.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

I don't have cats, so I live vicariously through yours and this project was super cute and I cannot wait to try it. Also, super ill with Influenza A. So, this was a delightful distraction from trying to breath and my voice sounding like RFK, Jr.

Nicholas Frig

& thank you for all the gratuitous floof content. I especially appreciated seeing Werewoof, aka PrettySweet; I've missed her!

Kim Ladouceur

This is so awesome! Takes me back to the days when my mom would make stuffed animals out of old blankets. πŸ₯°

Morgan

Just got home & was so happy to see the notification! Poof is the cutest model!

Kim Ladouceur

Best way to start my evening!
