Description This is Coco.
Coco likes everything 60's, especially Andy Warhol and The Beatles. Her idol is Brigitte Bardot. She's one groovy cat and she thinks that people should make love, not war.
She doesn't like people who don't get how cool the 60's were.

Coco is made out of lovely soft chocolate brown velvet and she's stuffed with rags and polyfill. She has a button for a belly button and her nose and eyes are embroidered. 

Coco's funky A-line dress is made out of black&white hound's tooth wool and it's fully lined with cotton. It has little decorative tabs with button detail and it has a hook & eye closure in the back.
The long sleeve T-shirt and knee socks are made out of stretchy tricot and the T-shirt has snaps on the back. 
Coco's mary-janes are made out of felt and they have a little button decoration on them.

She is my favourite of all your plushies.
I would love to do a plush trade but sadly I do not think that such a thing exists

Such a thing does exist, after a fashion at least:

I'm currently not doing trades (or selling my work either) due to the bureaucracy involved in starting up my own business and applying for start-up aid. I'll be sure to let everyone know when I'm open for business again though.

kittyvane In reply to ryou-rabbit [2007-02-03 17:40:14 +0000 UTC]

It is really annoying, since I'm not a very patient person and having to wait for all the paper pushing and such poo it making me antsy.

I hope everything works out soon ^-^
Why do you need to do that for a trade though? Or are you just not doing them?

kittyvane In reply to ryou-rabbit [2007-02-03 18:00:20 +0000 UTC]

Basically it boils down to not being allowed to act as a business before my application has been processed.
...That being said, I have done a few pieces for friends as "gifts", but I'm currently so busy with the rest of my life that I'm not going to take on any new orders/trades since I couldn't get to them in a timely manner.

kittyvane In reply to punky-angel [2006-11-01 18:53:16 +0000 UTC]

Once you get past the fiddly bits, it's pretty easy. The clothes are the hardest bit for me, since the cats are bit of a funny shape, so making patterns for their clothes can be a challenge.

I've been sewing since I was 6 and then I went to school to study costume design for 5 years so it's not really all that amazing.

I love her socks!! Actually, my glasses have that same pattern ion the inside. They are just black plastic on the outside, but black and white on the inside of the frames and the arms.

How do you get their noses so sharp? Do you pencil it in first?

kittyvane In reply to ladygekko [2006-08-23 17:37:20 +0000 UTC]

I pencil the shape first and then iron on some iron-on interfacing where the nose/eyes/belly button will go, so any embroidery etc. I'll do will have a little extra support and the fabric underneath doesn't get wrinkled.

...actually, it's not a table cloth. It's my duvet cover that I just spread on the table as it fit the theme.
