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

Including the unpicking of handsewing…

So much work! Look at how exhausted she is:

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!!!
