Just wanted to share this as a kind of thank you to The Grand Design, who featured me on her blog today - I love steampunk stuff, and she has some awesome steampunk goodies, so if you're as much of a fan of steampunk as I am you should check her out :)I love this Lock and Key necklace that's in her artfire shop especially.

Congratulations on the feature! And re your question below - If you've never sewn before, I *highly* recommend that you take a few lessons in sewing (you can usually do it through a fabric store - I think!) I learned how to sew in Home Ec classes in high school - I hated the classes but I am really glad that I had someone sit down with me and show me the basics. I used to make all my own clothes but I just do home sewing now (curtains, quilts, etc.)
If you do know the basics, you might want to try making a small cat blanket or quilt first. Here is a a "Cage comforter" pattern that's pretty easy:

My cats love these :) (I have also made some for donation.)
Hope this helps a little!
P.S. There are more tutorials on other things to sew here:

I've got some awesome earrings from The Grand Design - made of watch parts. I'd never thought of them as steampunk. :)
Love your cats!
