Let's set the scene...... Me and Mr TCC have been invited to a wedding. My good friend James and his lovely lady Jennie are getting hitched on 25th August (which just so happens to be my Mum's birthday too). We received a pretty handmade wedding invitation which had a gorgeous piece of purple ribbon wrapped around it.
James and Jennie have a fantastic cat called Cosmo.
Purple ribbon + Cosmo = ideas light bulb pinged up over my head!
So I decided to take the ribbon from the invitation and make it into a special collar for Cosmo, so he could be part of the wedding.
I'm pretty chuffed with the result. I don't normally work with satin ribbon so was a bit worried when my sewing machine decided to malfunction, but we got there in the end!

Ta-dah! The finished collar : )
I was so happy that James, Jennie and Cosmo were pleased with the collar. I am very excited about the wedding and looking forward to getting dressed up, having a dance plus some wedding cake (gotta love the cake!)
