Book Cat ITA Bag Kickstarter

I’m thrilled to be launching a Book Cat ITA Bag Kickstarter campaign on Friday 8 August!

The campaign has an ambitious campaign target of £8,000 to make the bag, 3 faces and pins, with the remaining interchangeable faces as exciting stretch goals.

This is an all-or-nothing campaign, so you won’t be charged right until the end of the campaign.

Early bird prices will be available for the first 24 hours – tiers are available for all of the designs so pledge straight away to get the best deal, and increase the chance of everything getting made!

You can check out the pre-launch page and sign up to be notified on launch at:

I thought it would be fun to do a little work in progress on my ‘I’d rather be reading’ cat!

I originally used this slogan on a button badge & pocket mirror back in 2017ish

I decided it was time for a feline update! I wanted to try and do a loaf cat, and also knew I wanted the design to have pastels in it:

I then started trying to work out how to get all of the text into the design:

I looked at various banners and circles…

And even briefly tried a rainbow to see how it would look!

But in the end I decided separating out the ‘I’d rather be’ and ‘Reading’ made it harder to visually look at together, so decided to just add the writing onto 2 books sitting on top of each other:

However I wasn’t quite happy with the cat, so amended the design to a cat stand-sitting instead.

And here’s the final version!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the process behind making this little cat!

I’ll be launching the Kickstarter on Friday 8 August – please do sign up to the pre-launch page to be notified, and I’ll also be posting across social media & email too!
