Two weeks ago, I spent the weekend in France with 9 of my friends and their children. The age of their children varied between 1 year and 5 years old.

In preparation for this weekend, I thought it would have been nice for me to bring a present to the kids, and it would have been even nicer if I was making the presents rather than buying them.

As sewing was/is my new obsession, I looked for some small sewing projects, and I found this great free cat mask tutorial on Burda website.

This project is great as it doesn’t require much sewing at all (in fact, I skipped the sewing steps and entirely relied on fusible bonding web) and only take about 25 minutes per mask.

For this project, all you need is a piece of felt, approx. 25 × 25 cm (10 × 10 ins), a piece of cotton fab­ric, 12 × 25 cm, some small pieces of cotton fabric, for ears and nose, fusible bonding web and elas­tic thread.
Visit Burda’s website for the instructions, and in no time you will make masks that will turn your children in happy super cats!
