great idea. but I think I´ll have mine with other fabric because felt frays...

Use whatever works for you, but I've never, ever had a problem with felt fraying. What material would you use that frays less than felt?

judithchen · Ilmenau, Thuringia, DE · 54 projects 26th December 2013

I´m not sure if its the washing machine or the fabric, but when it frays it keeps more dust so its not good for my allergies. more like the fibers came out, though. i normally use thin fleece, its more washable. thanks for the project, btw!

I really want to make this but I am not confident of my ability to figure out the correct shapes. Is there any way you could post a document or something with the shapes sketched out (so sort of template) so we can just trace over the felt??

Hi Nichole! Unfortunately I do not have a template, but I essentially just traced the shapes from a photo of Grumpy Cat. Try printing out a photo and use it to trace or cut out the shapes. Hope this helps!
