Thought you might like to
see a picture of the large
bucket I made from your
pattern. I thought it turned
out cute. I found the font
design on five Star Fonts.
This for a 12 year old girl.
She is going to use it when
she has sleepovers. Next
I will try a smaller one.
Thank you for the patterns.

Here is a photo of my FABULOUS Mug
Bucket that I made from your
AWESOME pattern! I am a
stay-at-home-mom, and I also sew for
a living and this is the
handiest-dandiest thing I have come
across to have all my "essentials" by
my side so my little girl can't get into
them. It also makes it 'sew' easy for
me to transport all those said items
from one part of my house, to
another. Thanks for coming up with
such a GREAT INVENTION!!!

This is so darn cute – and very practical – I plan to use
them as Christmas gifts. S.B

Send your pictures! I will display them with your comments.
I thank you all for your very warm reception of my patterns. I
make them to solve my problems, and they seem to ring a bell
with you. Let me know of any other ideas you may have for
recyclable organizers. Georgia

Special thanks to Susan T. for her humorous details on
making the most beautiful Sassy Kat Buckets I have
seen. Also she (or directed DH to) cut the 35 pound litter
bucket down to fit the pattern. I cut right around the
black line, used a jig saw to get close and then used a
file to smooth it. Great Idea!

Here are 3 photos of the 5 Sassy Kat buckets (I have 3 cats) I made and I have a few tips/tricks to pass along. First, I
used the 35 pound litter container and had to cut off about 2 ½ inches on the top (See picture). Not a problem, DH has
all the tools needed to do this. Because it was a different size, I had to adjust the opening for the handle a little further
away from the pockets.
Here are my tips, based on my bucket-cover making:
• Read all the instructions – they are there so you can succeed. Read them again, especially if something doesn’t make sense to you.
And then, read them again – don’t assume you know how to put it together just because you’ve been sewing for years.
• Fabric pockets are much easier to work with than pet screen pockets.
• Pet screen and hot irons do not play together nicely.
• A walking foot or dual-feed foot is helpful.
• Double-sided quilted fabric is quicker and easier than fusing fleece to fabric.
• Directional prints do not work well.
• Slice open the darts as far as you can and press open – that will reduce the thickness that you have to sew through.
• Especially on the buckets I used (with bright yellow handles), you might want to tack the end of the handle cover to where it meets the
bucket cover.
• You will break at least 1 needle.
• You will stick yourself with a pin at least 1 time.
• You will run out of bobbin right in the middle of the most difficult part of the process.
Most of these are like Murphy’s Law kinds of things.
My first bucket is my “emergency cat travel bucket.” We are preparing to move out of state and I’ll have the pleasure of
transporting the 3 cats in my car over 800 miles. The kitten has a tendency (especially if “Daddy” feeds him just prior to
leaving) to get car sick – ask me how I know! So, I put together a “kit” with a roll of paper towels, puppy training pads,
hand sanitizer, baby wipes, some grocery store plastic bags for bundling up the trash, and 4 bottles of water. This is
where I learned that directional prints don’t work well.
P.S. These were fun to make, once I got it through my thick skull that YOU knew the best way to make them, not me
(hey, that’s why you’re getting paid!). My fingers aren’t too badly pierced, and I did break one needle, but that wasn’t
because of the thickness of the fabrics.
I try to have fun doing these things, and my comments were meant to be very light-hearted and poking fun at me.
