Raetomic Kitten 23 Feb 11:15am, 23 Feb 2025 12,526 posts	Quote Pin Raetomic Kitten This morning I have been mostly inserting a zip and pocket into the back of a second hand Dalmatian cuddly toy, and using fabric pens to give him more of a Vets flavour, because I was assigned Cruella de Vil as my fancy dress costume for Carnaval this year. I also have a Dalmatian print fake fur coat that I'll add red and yellow dots to in the same way.

Raetomic Kitten 23 Feb 12:30pm, 23 Feb 2025 12,527 posts	Quote Pin Raetomic Kitten I'm also making the outfits for the new Prince and Princess - I've realised I should probably write a blog about this, as there's quite a lot of backgrounds to explain, but the TL:DR version is that need to be dressed up in something silly. So I've made capes and crowns from bubble wrap. And bedazzled some tape guns to be their royal accoutrements. It's actually turned out even better than I'd hoped, but I'm super glad I don't have to wear it 😂

Raetomic Kitten 23 Feb 5:26pm, 23 Feb 2025 12,529 posts	Quote Pin Raetomic Kitten There may well be popping. There was some already as I was taping bits together to get the width for the capes. The prince and princess will also be presented with a roll of bubble wrap, and marker pens. Shenanigans may well ensue. I've just finished blogging all the background , by the way, if anyone wants to know what it's all in aid of.
