A very special collar

Hello! Massive apologies - it's been many months since I have written a blog post. However, this one is pretty special so I hope you will like it.

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!)

If you have some ribbon you would like to be made into a special collar, why not get in touch? jen@tabbycatcollars.co.uk
