Fleece

MilliePigs · Aug 3, 2018

So I’ve been making my own fleece liners for about 2-3 years now so I want to broaden my horizons a little.

What are some of yours and your piggies favourite fleece items that I could try and recreate for my own piggies?

Pictures would be very much appreciated!

I made some beds - mine love them! Found a ‘how to....’ on YouTube and followed it.

I made cuddle cups, hammocks, tunnels, pouches, pee pads, cube beds and fleece forests. All made using YouTube tutorials

They look incredible! I’ll give them a try and thanks so much for the suggestions Louise!

I made cage liners and pee pads. I use soooo many pee pads. They are incredibly useful.

I also made a fleece forest but not used it for a while. Tunnels !ook fun. I bought some but they wont stay open ...

That’s what I was worried about with tunnels, I think I’ll stick to cardboard ones

Wish I was good with a sewing machine! I'd save sooooo much money!

How do you make pee pads? I just bought some puppy pads to put on the bottom of my piggies cage I’d like to know how to DIY

I hand sew mine as I just cannot get the needle out of the machine. It broke when I tried to sew a fleece cage liner.

Can't hand sew very well either! Can only just sew the items I've knitted together. My new project will be a challenge sewing up as it super chunky wool that is about 10mm diameter!

Yeah sewing isnt exactly my forte but the liners are holding up ok with the odd repair on some of the seams. At least they are pretty!

It took me some practice around the sewing machine. We still have arguments now and then, but I think I’ve improved a little bit. The only thing is that sewing takes such a long time. It takes me over an hour to make a fleece liner!
