Thread: A must have

I thought I would share this with you, a friend sent it to me think she is hinting as I am a dab hand with a sewing machine...

But I am going to have a go at making one this weekend my cats will love it... I will post photos of my own... lol

My mind has been buzzing... I have been in the attic and found material in cloth and also in thick fabric... I know a place in DE thats sells toys and stuff and the BELL would be a great idea... I am sure the kids will like it...

What fantastic cats & a super idea,how long though before one launches itself onto the top of that lovely unit,or is it only MC's who would have that trick up their sleeve.
Look forward to seeing the outcome of yours,I know Shimba loves the hammock on his Tigga Tower because he can bounce up & down in it & also get it to swing so could be an idea for out in the cat pen,less to damage when the bulls in a china shop are let loose.....
Will listen out for the ringing of that bell !

Mine love the IKEA hangers in many colours.. so this is one step up for them but more robust... she hopes... good job all the ceiling in Germany are concrete... lol

I am going to make one on Sunday... and we shall see.

Ooo that looks fun..

Wow, that looks FAB!!! I'm a dab hand at sewing and as we don't have a Tigga Tower this could be ideal. Mind you, I'd have to make it really heavy-duty for our 2 hefty lads....

2 Sewing needles and a bit of cotton..


Do I like it... yes do the cats? yes... will I make another one YES.. many... but I will make sure I do not double and triple sew the next time.. save on the needles.. and my heart when they snapped... lol

P.S. the pink marks are marker pen I did not have any tailors chalk... so I used the next best thing BRIGHT pink marker pen!!

Wow! Very impressive job! I wish I was that good at sewing.

I'd love to try out one of these things... but I have already brought so much cat furniture into the house that the Coonies didn't give a second look... I'm afraid hubby won't let me get one.
