I Made Cosies!

[*Nibbles&Nugget*]

Yes today I was bored so I grabbed my old dressing gown and a couple of fleece blankets and made some snuggley cosies for my piggies. I've made two but bearing in mind I didn't measure anything but the length of my piggies to make one that fitted them I don't think they've come out too bad.

Now I'm going to go and get some plasters for my sore fingers where I pricked them. Yes, I handstitched because we don't have a machine. rolleyes

Here's a picture. What do you think? I'll post more of my piggies in them later.

Oooh nice job! Out of interest, how did you find hand-stitching the fleece? I want to make a few little cushions but don't have a sewing machine either.

Well my fingers are pin cushions and my eyes are all squinty but honestly its not too bad. I didn't measure the fabric with rulers but with guinea pigs! I made two in an afternoon so it can't be that hard.

You do need to have some sort of skill level. I took textlies gcse and sew badges on scout uniforms. If you haven't had any or much practice I'd suggested practising first.

") Awww thanks everyone. The piggies seem to like them too!

Buddy loves his and Bingo prefers to sit on it. I made two more today. Nibbles sat on his and fell asleep and Nutty tried to tear his apart and stain it with carrot, spinach and put it under the water bottle (which I now know leaks!) so it is now soaking wet and smells like salad.

I'm not leaving them in the cage again! Lol!

Haha, they're just letting you know they appreciate all your hard work in their own special way...

Thanks for the info, I've done a lot of sewing before without a machine so I think I'll be fine
