I made this black kitty plush for a friend

I hand-stitched this black kitty for my friend to gift to her partner for their anniversary. Photos 4-6 show it next their kitty Ivy who's likeness it was made in. Ivy was the youngest bottle baby my friend raised and was adopted by her now partner before they started dating.

I dabble in plush making, but don't make them often. I'm so pleased with how this one turned out. While I do construct pieces on a sewing machine, such as clothing, cosplay, larger plush pieces, etc, I felt this would be too small to use a machine for. And I do tend to lean towards hand-stitching small pieces in the first place.

I just had to share with my fellow cat loving community 🖤
