Something fun for the end of the weekend: a little documentation of how much Felicity helped with the Augusta Stays.
From the cutting out:

To making buckram:

To boning the stays:
And to all the hand-sewing:

Including the unpicking of handsewing…

(note sad kitty)

So much work! Look at how exhausted she is:

What a helpful kitty!

Adorable! And so helpful.
Mine would have ripped up the paper pattern, stolen the thread and yanked out the stays to bat under the couch.
They are not as well-behaved as miss Felicity.
What a sweetie pie!
I marvel that you accomplish anything with such a gorgeous sewing cat around.
You are fortunate indeed to have such a talented cat! Her work on the boning alone was seriously impressive.
Just the thing for a grey Monday, Felicity always makes me smile
She has earned a well-deserved nap.
It’s that carefully-placed paw on the buckram! To adorably funny!!!
