It's kind of a composite from a couple of different super-cute tutorials, plus a little of my own tweaking. I made it for a friend's daughter, who is super-adorable (that counts), turning 5, and loves zebra print. Unfortunately for me, the only zebra print I have in my stash is this slippery stuff that frays like crazy and is really hard to work with. But I made it work. Not having a serger, I did a zigzag down each inside seam to "finish" it and keep the fraying at bay. I hope that works! It's lined with the slippery zebra fabric, and the super-cute outer fabric, which I totally love, was a remnant from Jo-Ann's. Gotta love the remnant bin! I really wanted that stripey thing to be a ruffle, but I cannot explain how much of a pain that fabric was. I didn't want to turn this into a bigger project that it needed to be...so I bagged it. (Sorry! My new favorite joke. Yes, I know it's not that funny.) But in the end, I actually really like the juxtaposition (big word) of the cotton & the silky fabrics. And I love the contrast of the colors - super-cute!
Doesn't it look great with my cat? I think she needs one like this.
