Even though our piggies live in our sitting room, at this time of year it does begin to get a bit cooler, especially overnight. They usually have cuddle rolls and pockets to cwtch up in and I decided that a few more would not go amiss, so on Monday we had a stitchathon and made 5 pockets and 4 cuddle rolls.
Here are s few photos of the end products in "The testing phase"! :))

I think they got the seal of approval.

Let the Winter Begin!

Ooooooo looks so warm and snuggley x) x)
 
They are really good and must have saved you a fortune.

I tried making some but I don't think I used thick enough fleece as they kept flopping over flat. Yours look like they stay upright. Did you just use one fleece or a couple together? Did you just fold over the ends or stitch it as well?

I use 2 layers of fleece with a layer of wadding in between. The ends are folded over and Stitched. I also added a little extra wadding in the "cuffs" which help them to stay upright.
 
Those cuddle rolls look so comfy and warm that I'm jealous. I want one for myself, too! :(|)

Oh right, it is wadding. I didn't use that. Thanks.:))
 
Oh excellent, well done you! Wish I had a machine so I could make some too!

Yes, they have all been enjoying them.
Ethel has decided that you don't actually need to go into a pocket, you can be almost as snuggly just lying underneath it!
Unfortunately she's in an awkward place to photograph.{:|
