King Arthur's new throne :)

I love my cat,

but I do not love cat hair on my couch.

So yesterday I finally got around to making

a proper Cat Mat for my kitty.

I bought 5/8 of a yard of blue checkered flannel.

It cost me less than $3.00.

I cut it in half and placed the flannel

with the good sides facing each other.

Then I cut 2 pieces of Warm & Natural batting the same size

and placed them under the 2 layers of flannel.

I sewed all the way around the edges with a 5/8" seam

leaving a 5" opening on one side for turning.

When you turn it right side out

 the batting is now sandwiched

between the layers of flannel.

I slip stitched the opening closed.

I did a 5/8" top stitch all the way around the edge and

machine appliqued a heart that I cut out of red fleece.

The finished size is 20" by 25".

The entire process took about 30 minutes.

Super easy.

It took Arthur all of 5 minutes to check it out.....

and decide that he likes it.....

and take a cat nap on it :)

Mission accomplished :)
