The Cat's Meow
Some projects are useful. Some are adorable. This one manages both.
Designed as a pincushion, scissor holder, and handy sewing organiser, these standing cats are both decorative and practical. The Cat’s Meow is a cheerful little sewing companion designed to hold your scissors, pins, clips, and general sewing chaos in one place — while looking very pleased with itself on your worktable.
With a weighted base and roomy little paws, these cats are surprisingly practical. They’re quick to sew, fun to personalise, and dangerously easy to multiply once you start choosing fabrics.
Perfect for gifts, swaps, sewing room decor, or simply making your workspace feel a bit more cheerful. You’ll probably start with one cat. You probably won’t stop at one cat.

- Makes a standing cat pincushion and scissor holder
