The Stash Kitty gets made exactly like the Trash Panda, but there are no fiddly appliques this time. The basting box on the front is definitely not optional though: those big eyes will really pull on the minky and you might want to double up the stabilizer.

Here are the color steps:

• Float a 4.5”/110cm square of minky.
• Stitch fluffy tail if desired.
• Stitch shorthair tail if desired. (Don’t stitch both!) Unhoop.

• Float another square of minky topped with water-soluble stabilizer.
• Stitch the eye highlights, muzzle, and paws.
• Stitch the ears, nose, and toe beans.

• Stitch the eye irises.
• Stitch the eyes, muzzle outlines, and toes.
• Place the tail piece face down and centered. Stitch outline.

Unhoop, trim around the outer seam (clip inner curves and points), turn, stuff, and ladder-stitch closed.
