Thomas Cat Sewing Pattern
Thomas is a 40cm (16 inches) fully jointed artist designed toy cat . He’s made of mohair, fully jointed, with glass eyes. The cat is assembled in a patchwork from various colours of fabric. This cat sewing pattern is suitable for intermediate level teddy bear makers.
Printed Pattern
This is the printed version of the pattern. A printed teddy bear pattern is a great choice because you will receive the pattern templates ready to cut out and printed instructions that you can refer to on your worktable as you sew. Once you have paid for your order, we will ship the pattern sheets and instructions to your delivery address.
What Fabric is Suitable to Make this Cat?
We made our Thomas using mohair with a medium pile. He will also look good in shorter mohair or synthetic fur.

Hand Sewing or Sewing Machine?
We prefer to sew our bears entirely by hand. You can save time by sewing the seams using a sewing machine. However, you will still need to do some hand-finishing.
