Thread: belly cats & costumes

spin off of the "what are you working on" thread... kitties and costumes!!!

here is my sweetie - Mabel - she'll curl up and nap in my veils if left out.
silks her favorite, but any veil will do.

Mabel is very cute, love her white splotched mouth, looks like a crooked bow.

packing my suitcase for the evening gigs...

my tired kitten

Love your pictures, nice to hear that you ladies also have help when you're trying to dance with veil or sew a costume

Here are my boys. Gideon is always helping me to sew, well at least he thinks he's helping...





While Pallo (in english his name means ball...) is helping me to unmake the bead.



I don't really know which one is better, but you just can't be mad at them

My cat loves zills, she comes running and often chatters in response when I practice. Admittedly, there are treats involved ;-)

Dang I wish I had taken a pic of when my dog Jasper put his dog toy in front of my sewing machine (which was on the floor at the time) as if to say, "stop sewing and spend time with me!!!"

I know it wouldn't be a cat pic but i thought it was cute :)

No you can't!

Chyna "photobombed" a bunch of my veil photos with her tail -- have to see if I kept any!

I love these! Keep the pics coming, ladies!

Oh I was so going to start one of these threads to not bog up the monthly costume thread so thank you!!!!

:) I will have more by the end of the week I'm sure. Kitteh's are awesome- as long as they aren't destroying I'm totally fine with it- and can't be mad!

Not only does Aphrael like fabric, she has a taste for rhinestones, too!

Mmmm Mama's dance costume...Silk & sequins...What's missing? I know! Cat hair!

Thanks so much for starting this thread. May it continue forever!

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, with a pretty kitty!

Dang, I shall have to get me a kitty soon! Missing my dog so badly, but she just isn't a kitty. And it would be good to have one of each, don't you think?

Post some more, please ladies, for this deprived catophile?

OK, here is one more, of Kedi "helping" me during a costume design/sewing project, one of these times when you are desperate and pull out all potentially matching pieces of fabric and scatter them around the room, aka happy time for a cat ;-)

Another classic moment: cat and assuit.

Dresses for a cane dance, two of us had the lovely black with pink, two had a chocolate velvet with green and one had black with royal blue. Unfortunately I don't have any good photos of the finished costumes

That's a shame... The fabric is gorgeous!

oh it's just my class bag so it has veils, hip scarves, knee pads, shoes, zils and gosh, who knows what all is actually in there. I think he just likes the idea of getting a bag.
