(ESP/ENG) Los arneses que cosí para mi gatito - Uno a mano y el otro con máquina de coser / The harnesses I sewed for my kitty - One by hand and the other with a sewing machine

¡Hola a todos! Esta es mi primera publicación en este grupo y me gustaría comenzar mostrándoles los arneses que hice para ikki, mi gatito, en sus etapas de crecimiento.


Hello everybody! This is my first post in this group and I would like to start by showing you the harnesses I made for ikki, my kitty, in her growing stages.

Primero que nada aclaro que no soy una costurera experta y que, si le cosí esto a mi gato era para que se acostumbrara a salir, porque al principio le tenía algo de miedo al exterior.


En esa época vivíamos residenciados en un segundo piso. Mi gatito era muy pequeño y quería curiosear a pesar de su miedo. Pero como habían muchas cosas apiladas, me daba miedo que se metiera entre ellas, así que decidí hacerle el arnés. Y si se acostumbraba, me animaba la idea de poder pasearlo je je 😁


Como no tenía materiales y no podía salir a comprar (esto ocurrió durante el inicio de la pandemia), tomé un trozo de tela que encontré y como pude, le armé un arnés improvisado a Ikki. Corte un rectángulo y unas tiras para amarrarlo, todo, cosido totalmente a mano (con un hilo verde, que era el que tenía):


First of all I clarify that I am not an expert seamstress and that, if I sewed this for my cat, it was so that it would get used to going out, because at first I was a little afraid of the outside.


At that time we lived on the second floor. My kitten was very small and wanted to pry despite her fear. But since there were a lot of things stacked, I was afraid that he would get in between them, so I decided to make the harness for him. And if he got used to it, I was encouraged by the idea of ​​being able to walk him heh heh 😁


As I had no materials and could not go out to buy (this happened during the beginning of the pandemic), I took a piece of cloth that I found and as I could, I made a makeshift harness for Ikki. Cut a rectangle and some strips to tie it, everything, sewn entirely by hand (with a green thread, which was the one I had):

(Este primer modelo lo apodamos "La camisa de fuerza", porque lucía igual a una ja ja / We nicknamed this first model "The straitjacket", because it looked like a ha ha )


No era nada fácil colocarle el arnés a Ikki, siempre ha sido un chico muy inquieto y juguetón, por lo que, no le gustaba permanecer quieto mientras le amarraba las tiras en su panza. Como la tela era licrada, se amoldaba a su cuerpo y era bastante suave al tacto.


It was not easy at all to put the harness on Ikki, he has always been a very restless and playful boy, so he did not like to remain still while he tied the straps on his belly. Since the fabric was lycra, it conformed to her body and was quite soft to the touch.

(Ikki interesado por los sonidos de alrededor / Ikki interested in the sounds around)

*(Cansado de explorar / Tired of exploring)


Como era de esperar, Ikki creció y ese arnés ya no le cerraba como antes. Afortunadamente, pude ir hasta mi casa y con los materiales que tenía allá, le armé un arnés mucho más funcional.


As expected, Ikki grew up and that harness no longer closed as before. Fortunately, I was able to go to my house and with the materials I had there, I put together a much more functional harness.

Con la medida de su pecho y cuello, tracé un dibujo de lo que pensé, sería más adecuado para un gatito tan travieso. Corte la pieza en tela de jean y de forro, utilicé una tela verde. Cosí, volteé la pieza y pisé con una costura.


Using his chest and neck measurement, I drew a picture of what I thought would be more suitable for such a mischievous kitty. Cut the piece in jean and lining fabric, I used a green fabric. I sewed, turned the piece over, and stepped on a seam.

Coloqué trozos de velcro en la parte del cuello y del pecho. Aproveché unos lindos bordados que tenía y se los cosí para darle un toque de estilo. Añadí un aro de metal que reciclé de una cartera vieja, reforzándolo con varias costuras.


I put pieces of velcro on the neck and chest. I took advantage of some beautiful embroideries that I had and sewed them to give it a touch of style. I added a metal hoop that I recycled from an old wallet, reinforcing it with various stitching.

Aproveché el gancho que tenía de un llavero y para la tira, tenía una correa que no usaba, así que la anexe al gancho. Por supuesto, como todo lo que realizo, le cosí la etiqueta de mi marca.


I took advantage of the hook I had from a keychain and for the strap, I had a strap that I didn't use, so I attached it to the hook. Of course, like everything I do, I sewed my brand tag on it.

El gato de mi hermana fue el primero en probar el arnés, le quedaba a la perfección, a pesar de que mi gato tenía menos edad. Eso me hizo darme cuenta de que Ikki estaba algo gordo ja ja


My sister's cat was the first to try the harness, it fit her perfectly, even though my cat was younger. That made me realize that Ikki was a bit fat ha ha

(Mi gato más grandecito, con su arnés, se ve muy guapo / My biggest cat, with his harness, looks very handsome)

Uno de los motivos por el que tuve que "actualizarle" la pechera (aparte de su crecimiento), fue porque nos íbamos a mudar y muchas personas me recomendaron que le colocara un arnés para que no saliera corriendo, asustado, debido a la mudanza.


One of the reasons I had to "update" his bib (apart from his growth), was because we were going to move and many people recommended that I put a harness on him so that he would not run away, scared, due to the move.

(Luego, le agregué unos ganchitos en su pecho y cuello, para mayor seguridad / Then, I added some hooks on his chest and neck, for added security)


Con estos dos ejemplos, me di cuenta el gran cambio que podemos hacer cuando tenemos los materiales adecuados. Igualmente, hay que ser creativos cuando las circunstancias nos den solamente una aguja, hilo y un pedacito de tela.


Espero que les haya gustado el post. Besos y abrazos.


¡Hasta una siguiente oportunidad!


With these two examples, I realized what a big change we can make when we have the right materials. Likewise, we must be creative when circumstances give us only a needle, thread and a piece of cloth.


I hope you liked the post. Hugs and kisses.


Until next time!
