Hand sewn with love if not expertise...

Sorry Polly, I nicked your design... took me AGES to work it out though :)) I'm yet to see if my wonky seams stand up to piggy usage and washing

Awww Sharon! Sooooo sweeeeeeet! Love the fleeces! Well done on the sewing! As a top tip, the side which is on the outside when you do the first seam across the bottom will be the outside when you finish!

I so nearly pm'd you the other night but I was being stubborn. I worked out the bottom seam in my head (looks like a french seam?) although took a while to work out which would be the outside as in your tip. But I sewed the inner and outer together along the back seam before I turned it out. Suffice to say it didn't work and I had to unpick (doh!). Left it alone while I had a BIG bowl of ice cream and then it clicked whilst I was examining the ones you made.
Bumpisacutie has already taken the pink heart one home with her so I will have to make my pigs another one. They're just so popular! Looking forward to seeing your new products soon. x

Oh, and the heart fleece was a children's blanket from tesco for £4. Bargain.
 
That's great! One of the things I keep intending to do is a really good thread on how to make a cozy. There are instructions out there, but they are too vague to be useful and often don't include wadding (the most important part in my opinion).
 
Love your handiwork! I can't be any wonkier than mine! :))
 
We will be needing to start a sewing social group! Think pollie would have to head it up mind as our proffesional but yours look really good too! If only i had the patience to hand sew still! lol rolleyes
