Aw, that is fabulous!
I am on the hunt for fleece on Thursday to make hideys, I was thinking of using boning to reinforce the dome shape?
Where did you get the foam? I wondered if they could get down to it and chew it.

My boys are not big chewers to be honest, u could use clear plastic tubing like you use for airline for aquariums. My foam was from Abakhan habidasherys, not sure if there is any in your part of the country. I got my fleeces from Storetwentyone. 3.99 each and they are quite big too. Always looking out to do different things for the boys. x

I wouldn't use boning. If it pops out it could really injure your pigs. Foam is really good for structure and shape...just a bit of a pain to get around the sewing machine!
Those tunnels look awesome!

thankyou. Did mine on the machine, not that bad really, found it harder with the wadding tbh . X
 
A result! The tunnels are in with the boys and they are flat out in them:yahoo: might make a little mattress for in side them xx

They look really good! If you pin the wadding to the fleece then sew it fleece side up it makes it a ton easier!

Yeah found that out when I made cuddle cups last time, think my wadding was a bit too thick tbh. Didn't need any wadding in the tunnels . Having a think about my next project ! x

Although foam is supposed to be hazardous to pigs. Is the foam you use like children's craft, or is it like a sponge?
