I would like to TRY and make the piggies some cozies, tunnels, hammocks etc with some spare fleece i have..... only problem is, i dont have a sewing machine or any wadding, but i will try to source some wadding.

Any tips, templates, advice or idea's would be appreciated!

Thanks
 
You can make them by hand but it takes hours to do one rolleyes. If you dont have a sewing machine you could cheat cut the bottoms of trousers sew the bottom up, make a sac out of fleece pop it inside your trouser pouch then sew the fleece back over the trouser pouch :).

Haha its always the case rolleyes.
 
I would like to make something like this. I got A* in textiles so I'm good at sewing but have no idea where to start. I'll be buying some fleece tomorrow and I want to make a cuddle cup.

Maybe someone could put some templates on here and say what sort of things you need.

That's the pattern I used to do mine and it was pretty simple to follow. Have to admit I didn't do it all though... my OH's grandma did them on her machine. She said it was pretty simple to do though.

You can get the wadding from Dunelm Mill... it's reasonably cheap. You can get it on e-bay as well.
