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. :)
