Fried Eggs

Easy to make, simple, quick.  However this one is a bad example, the picture was taken a number of years ago and I don't have a current one.  Yuck, I used black stitching around the edge.... looks awful.

 

These started out as computer monitor cleaners - no lie!  I made the first ones with white fake fur and an orange yolk. You would hold onto the yolk and swipe the monitor down for dust. It worked great but people came back and said that they frisbeed really nice across the room for the cat to play with.

 

So, get rid of the white fake fur and replace it with white velour or polar fleece, fill the yolk with catnip and stuffing, and a new cat toy was born.

 

The egg white is a circle 5 inches across, you sew them right sides together, cut a small hole in ONE layer (the yolk will go over it to hide it) and turn it right side out.  Put it back on the sewing machine and do a stitch around the edge. This allows the fabric to lay flat and it doesn't need to be stuffed. Don't use black thread for this part though.

 

The yolk is a 3 1/2 inch circle of yellow or orange, you hand stitch a 'gather' stitch around the edge and pull it partially closed, stuff the ball, and pull the thread tighter.  Set over the hole in the egg white and tack it down by hand, but make sure that the stitches don't go through to the back side, you don't want them showing on the bottom of the egg.  It's not tricky, just use a sharp needle and thread and catch only the top layer.
