Announcement
2/15...I'll be removing my Made-to-Order St. Paddy items Friday morning (2/16)
1/15...Happy 2024! I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season! Thank you to everyone for your continuous support in 2023 and helping to keep my Fat Cat business growing! I've been busy planning things out and I have some pretty big ideas for this year: lots of new restock collections with new Fat Cat pincushion designs plus some new non-pincushion products to boot. I'm excited to try out some new stuff! I'm going to be working on prototypes for the new pincushions in January/February so all my Valentine/St. Paddy items are going to be listed as made-to-order and there won't be any new designs in these. I'm aiming for my first big restock of the year to be at the end of February so stay tuned for lots of Fat Cat fun this year!

5 out of 5 starsThis is the third fat cat I've purchased. These pincushions are so freaking cute. They're the perfect touch of fun in my sewing room. I wish the artist would sell the pattern as a DIY. I would (and have with other companies) happily pay $15 for the basic pattern and $5-$7, depending on complexity, as an addon for different outfits.

5 out of 5 starsWhat can I say? My mommy cat and baby arrived today, and they are so sweet! Kathleen, you are so creative with your designs, and your fat cats are beautifully made. I’m getting quite a “family” of fat cats now. I think I’m up to #8!

Nina crossed the Rainbow Bridge 1/2023
Design Consultant, Chair Warmer, Fat Cat Inspiration
I'm Nina! I'm very vocal about when I don't like what my human is creating. She thinks I'm just getting in the way, but I'm really just trying to give a helping hand by telling her what she's doing is wrong. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

Enforcer Of Break Times, Fat Cat Inspiration
Hi all, Elvis is my name. I really don't care what my human does in her sewing room as long as she makes it downstairs to feed me at least 15 times day. I help her take breaks throughout the day. I'm very important.
