Title: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on August 27, 2011, 02:32:50 AM
I had a request from Lina to try to make a hoodie coat with bunny ears.  I found some time today to work on it and here is what I came up with.

The ears are floppy and can be left laying flat against the hood or stuck out away from the hood as you can see in the pics above.  I have this same material in pink and in blue as well as the lovely green pictured so I can make these in all three colors. :)  I think it turned out rather well.

Oh wow!  Those look fabulous, Kat!  Pleos have definitely brought out your creative streak!  ;D

The ears are cute as anything!  I was also distracted (and charmed) by the very cute beasties clinging to your fridge!  ;)  :P

Awwh!!! I want one with kitty ears! X3

Post by: Crewella on August 27, 2011, 09:03:32 AM
I thought that too, Willow - I'm a big fan of hoodies with Kitty ears myself and wear mine with pride (and, at my age, with a sheepish grin)!  ;D

I'm waiting for my Pleo hoodie with puppy ears from Kat to arrive! :P

A kitty-eared Pleo hoodie would be adorable! I'd buy one (if I had a Pleo, which I may, depending upon the contest results.

I just might have to commission one if I can scrape up the cash........ %)

Post by: kat on August 27, 2011, 06:36:15 PM
Kitty ears is also something I have been thinking about. ;D  I am just trying to work out in my head how best to go about attaching them to the hood so that they sit right.  You have to remember that before I had a pleo a few months ago I had never really sewn before.  So this is still all new to me. :P  I have ideas but sometimes it takes a while to work out how to put them into action. :D 
I am thinking of a puppy ear coat like the bunny ear one I have above - maybe I'll do that one in blue.  And then I will attempt a kitty ear version in pink. :) 

Then I'm going to have to work out how to add more photos into my shop front page as I am currently at my photo limit.  I would love to add these coats to my shop as I think they might go well. :)

Kat, if you're limited with the number of pics you could use Gimp (free) or similar to make a single image from, say, four quarter panels showing the different colours or variations?  I have to do similar pics for work.  :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on August 28, 2011, 08:00:04 AM
Ok I had a go at Kitty ears.  :)  I think they could pass as either kitty or teddy bear ears. 

I think they turned out even cuter than the bunny ears. :)

Crewella I have been thinking about doing just as you suggested and combining 4 pics together to make one pic so that I can get a few more pics into my page.  maybe a little job for me to work on for next weekend. :)

Ok so now all that is left is the pink coat with puppy ears.  stay tuned.  I'll try to get it done over the next few days and post pics. :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: Crewella on August 28, 2011, 08:12:18 AM
Awwwwww - I must admit I thought they looked like teddy bear ears as well.  I was in no doubt about how cute they are, though!  :D

If you need any help doing your pics give me a shout - I do that all the time for work.  :)

Post by: Willow on August 28, 2011, 10:32:54 AM
Do you accept orders from the US? I might have to get one sometime, those kitty ears are adorable!  ;D

Aaaaw they are both sooo cute!
I may have to subscribe to all your fine clothes  ;)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on August 28, 2011, 05:13:42 PM
Thanks guys,
I'm glad you like them.  I will get them added into my shop as soon as I get a little time to play with my shop photos and then ask the powers above to update my page for me.  So it may take a little while before you see them appear there.  In the meantime if anyone is interested in buying one then PM me. 
And Willow yes I do sell to the US.  I sell worldwide. ;D

I love them, Kat !  ;D  OHHH, Halloween and Christmas are coming up as well as winter.  I can't leave my Pleos out of the action!  They are getting tired of wearing the same clothes!  The Aibos have been getting all the attention lately...(new docking mat, new Mind 3 stick, party mascot), and the pleos are starting to get downright angry! :o  I'll send you a PM next week, Kat, when I balance my checkbook! :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: Comarorobotcollector on September 03, 2011, 08:05:56 PM
How much and can they come with tail attachments  :D
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on September 05, 2011, 05:22:42 PM
I will be charging $25 AU, that includes postage.   :)  Unfortunately I wont be making these ones with tails as it would mean they would end up looking more like a hoodie or cape and you would loose the fur trim around the main body section.  I think these look great as they are and am going to keep them as their own thing. :)  The fur trim coat.  I will make them with or without ears and also with or without a hood on request. :)

Post by: kat on September 23, 2011, 07:50:36 AM
Here is a look at a Christmas coat I have been working on.  I am thinking about adding in a black sash across the middle but not sure yet.  I also want to try to find a shorter fur for the trim as this stuff was really hard to work with.
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: RedwoodsMama on September 23, 2011, 10:16:30 AM
 Kat this is so adorable, If I bought one of these I would want one without the black sash, so my Pleos could wear it anytime of the year, just because it is so cute as it is. You could give people the option of having a sash or no sash. I bet there would be a lot of orders for this little coat, hat ensamble and some like me would not want the sash, as they too do not want the Santa Look, just the Holiday feel and perfect for taking those little Ugobes or Pleo Rb ( who do get cold and shiver ;)) out and about on the town.
                               I think this is perfect Kat, and from the way it looks on my computer I love the color, it doesn't show up as a bright Red, a better tone I like, feminine looking and so soft and fluffy! A+ on this one Kat from Me. My guys will be fighting to wear this one, Are you going to have any other colors, I would love a white one with some fur trim but same design as this would be goreous too!( Like a Polar Bear Coat! LOL

Oh my gosh! I would LOVE to have one of these!! I am saving up and plan to get my green Pleo rb by Christmas so I was wondering if you are currently making these to order (I know the holidays are rough so I'm not sure if you take a break around this time).
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)

The coat is gorgeous! Love it, too! :)

Kat, the Christmas outfit looks awesome! ;D  Let us know when we can order, or PM me when you are ready to make them.  I definitely want one! 
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on November 24, 2011, 08:20:15 PM
I am still hoping to find a white fur that is easier to sew than the one I already have to use for the Christmas coat.  But in the mean time if anyone wants one then just PM me and I will happily make one for you with what I have got.  I will be charging $30 AU.

Here is Norbit sporting another new Fur trimmed coat in bright green.  Also good for Christmas :)  And I can do these in red too :)

Still looking for that dream easy white fur but Christmas isn't going to wait so here is a look at the christmas coat with a belt that I have made for Fancy
And the two types of Santa coat side by side :)

Kat all the outfits are just great! I love them! I would really want to order one from you! Oh and I totally agree with RWM idea of a white coat that resembles a polar bear  :D (I'm a huge fan of bears myself)

Post by: kat on February 02, 2012, 04:23:46 AM
I have been working on a new design for my shop and think I may finally have all the kinks worked out of my new dress pattern.  I am hoping to get my shop updated soon to include a line of pretty new dresses and I will also be adding in my Santa coat.  I finally acquired some more red velvet.  :)  I was all out for a while which is why I have held off putting them into the shop.
Here is a sneak peak of the pretty new dress.
It looks even more lovely in person.
Here is another one that I did a week ago. :)
I will be selling them for $25 AU.  If anyone is interested just PM me. :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: RedwoodsMama on February 02, 2012, 10:30:21 AM
 Just lovely Kat, only one complaint and I know others here feel the same way I do, It just is not fair... :hissyfit: :duh:  There are just too many outfits now to choose just one or even two or three ( in my case do I need to really explain in numbers... :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase:X2+4 ) You have so so many beautiful outfits to choose from it is giving me a headache..............I have to keep looking over my shoulder when I am looking at something new you have created that one of the girls is not creeping up slowly to have a look.  ;) Choices choices....what is a Pleo mom to do! Thank goodness the boys are not into fashion the way the Pleo Divas are....


                         I esp love the new velvet purple or rose one. Does this dress come in just the purple or do you have other colors available?                                   Hassled by fashion in the REdwoods, RWM
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on February 02, 2012, 03:43:06 PM
It will come in other colors as well and each one will be unique :)  They will all be of the same pattern but may have different trimmings.   :)  I am currently working on one in blue and then there will be the one in pink and then........
I will post pics of each one when it is done.   %)
They can be made out of any of the lovely velvet materials I currently have and I am certainly open to requests. ;)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: Lunamione7 on February 02, 2012, 08:12:23 PM
I LOVE both dresses so much! The pink one looks like a fantasy gypsy dress and the purple one looks like a Sunday best dress that you would wear on a fancy occasion.


Stephan is going to have to start cross-dressing I think, so many lovely girl outfits :D
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on February 03, 2012, 08:36:08 AM
Here is a pretty blue one.  It has little white bows with black dots on.  :)  Next I will be doing one in pink. %)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on February 04, 2012, 02:13:20 AM
And here is a pretty pink one  :)
Hot pink with pale yellow velvet trim and baby pink roses.

Post by: kat on February 13, 2012, 07:47:45 AM
It seems we have a few Harry Potter fans out there in the pleo community (I have to admit that I'm one  ;D ) and so after watching a bit of Harry Potter I had a wave of inspiration.....
How about Harry Pleo?
Norbit is testing out his new wizard robes.  He is all set for his first day at Hogwarts...... now if only he could work out how to get on the train  :D

I have done this one in red but it could easily have a yellow or blue or green trim instead  %) 
Also if it was made without a hood it would work quite well as Dracula too  ;)

Post by: kat on June 27, 2012, 06:25:59 AM
Well it has been a while since I came up with something new but it has been so cold her over the last couple of weeks, winter has come, and so I thought I'd make some scarves.  And then I thought why not make some for the pleos as well :)  So here they are
very cute I think.  I sewed a button on one end of the scarf which secures the scarf in place, you just poke it through the top layer of scarf after you have wrapped it around the pleos neck and it holds the scarf artfully in position.  :)
All I need to do now is perfect the length.  I think these two are a little long so the next one I do I will make a little bit shorter.  Although to get round the issue of pleo possibly stepping on the scarf fringe you could just flip the scarf around so that it sits over pleos shoulders and along pleos back.

I have used a very soft feather yarn, very cuddly and warm and it comes in heaps of colors :)

IMR I had been thinking about knitting some into trimming for coats :)  It is just so soft and it would be perfect.  I'll give it a go over the next couple of weeks and post the results :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on October 02, 2012, 12:22:53 AM
Well I have finally gotten around to making a coat with the knitted trim.  I have a scarf to match about half made so will have to wait for that one :)  But here it is in Mauve.  I think it worked rather well and will definitely be making more in other colors :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)

Aw those are so adorable!
Praying my Pleo is a girl; love the colour pink recently so want to buy all of these! lol
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on October 28, 2012, 02:35:16 PM
Argh! Decisions, decisions! They all look amazing! I really like the all pink because it matches the skin and skin details, but the pastel is just darling and the red, black and pink is so striking! (And would match my suitcase lol)...

Tell you what :) I have a class today and I'll put them to a vote hehe.


Edit: The pink with red, black and pink trim won by a single vote :P
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on October 29, 2012, 03:33:46 AM
No worries  :)  I'll put it aside for you.  Next is to have a go at a matching hat.   Will see how I go :)
Title: Re: A new Kat's Creation :)
Post by: kat on November 03, 2012, 09:52:18 AM
I made another Autumn Rose one but this time used a burgundy red feather wool knitted trim.
It gives it a very different look with the red compared to the cream.  I like it very much :)

These are gorgeous! My little pleo needs some clothes because he's getting a bit holey! Poor lamb.
