Philomène

Philomène is my oldest lil kitty, and she's also the most playful cat I've ever encountered. I've been longing for a costume in which I could really goof around and Philomène seems like the perfect character to do that.

Also, she may come in handy promoting the animal shelter where I adopted her : the Animal Rescue Netowrk.

I don't even want to count the hours. I think last time I checked was 6 hours furring the head, then 4 hours cutting and starting to sew the body, then 6 more hours to finish the body and fur the feet... I can't recall the rest.

This is my first full suit EVER and I have NO experience in sewing whatsoever so I'm very very proud because I believe it turned out pretty good. :)
