Old Pattern, New Request
Figures, once I discontinue a product someone remembers it and wants it back. This time it was tacos as a cat toy. I don't even have the pattern for that anymore, it's been over 6 years since I made them last time but given all the 'felt food' patterns out there I just googled it and clicked on 'images' and looked through what's being sewn now and did up a pattern with scratch paper again.
One of my old so-called mistakes way back when we were maybe doing our second Pennsic War was I'd cut a circle out of gray velour and a smaller circle to act as a belly for making hamsters as cat toys. Well, I did it from memory but when I sewed and stuffed the things they were these giant bloated baseball sized creatures with tiny ears and tiny bead eyes.... I had maybe 20 of them and figured I'd just put them out and sell them, once they're gone then I make the right sized type.
I stuck a dumb name on them -- Giant Parisian Hamsters. Do you know HOW MANY PEOPLE asked me for years if I had any more of the Giant Parisian Hamsters????? They were a mistake that sure made an impression. Since they were all hand sewn at that time I didn't do up any more, I stuck with the smaller version both to save on stuffing and space, they really were too large for a cat to play with. But wow, everyone thought they were fun.
