Ok, reporting back.
My bobbin ran out of thread. I have to take on of the cats to the vet.
I have almost all the pieces sewn except the tails.
I even have polyfil in the house for when I get back!

Just an update. Today I had to work. But before I went to bed last night, every piece of every cat was cut, sewn and turned right side out. About half were stuffed.
Tonight after dinner I will stuff and stitch closed the rest, then I have to attach all the parts to the bodies, embroider faces and such.
I am so glad I got so far yesterday!
I will post pix when I am done!

Ok, I FINALLY have photos and can post them!
Here is the litter of cats that I made out of three plaid shirts that belonged to my dad.
I removed all the buttons, opened all the seams, and then stitched the fabrics back together randomly. I used sheer fusible interfacing that I had cut into the pattern pieces, ironed them on, cut them out, and then resewed the remaining fabrics and continued on.
After cutting for all 6 cats, I still had enough fabrics left to make 4 inch stockings to hang as Christmas ornaments.
A few of the cats have pockets from the shirts on their backs and photos of Dad have been placed there.
They were very well received at the memorial we had last weekend.
ETA...I also used shrinky dink plastic to make collar tags, that I put his photo on with a little quote...
