I am nearly done now - just finishing off the last bedspread woohoo.

All I have to do tomorrow is the ramp covers and the blankets for the carriers. :(|) These won't take very long - not after the mammoth task of making the fitted bedspreads. They weren't too difficult, they jkust took ages to do and I have worke a lot this week which means not much time for sewing.

It feels like the end is in sight for the cage now - just as well because we are picking up the girls tomorrow, late afternoon!

I can't believe that seven months of hard work - ok I had Christmas off! - is nearly done.

The cage looks like a proper cage now, and my human girls will be helping to hoover it and fit the first set of bedspreads tomorrow, ready for our furry family to move in.

We have got to tidy up the dining room ( lots of fleece everywhere ) and decide which hideys they will get to use first (they have a fair few as the excitement kept getting too much for us.)

Hayracks and water bottles must be filled and salad chopped ready.

I will be posting pictures of the cage tomorrow, and then the girls when they get home.

The girls will have a ride in their posh carriers and then we will put them in their new home and leave them to it to get used to the cage and us. x)x)

We can't wait I am so excited I am waking up early tomorrow to finish everything off!.
 
Well done but where are the pictures? Bet you won't sleep for excitement!
 
Can't find the camera - I think it is under some fleece! :(

I am going to get daughter number one to take some pictures when we have tidied up tomorrow.

Too busy with sewing arghhhh:(|)
 
What are your components for the bedspreads? I just made bedsheets with just fleece
 
Congrats for your efforts! I can't wait to see the result!
 
They are fleece with a zorb underlayer.

I finally got the last lot of zorb on Wednesday when I was off work, which came in handy as I was going to have to use the inco pads that are for the corral until the zorb turned up - it takes about 2 months to get to the UK from Canada..

I constructed the bedspreads like a tray that went over the sides and tucked under the coroplast bottom. There is a bit of elastic too to make them fit better when they are put into the cage, just so everything holds together when they are slid in already fitted onto the coroplast trays.

The zorb was sewn on last.

I have just finished sewing on the last piece of zorb for the bedspreads.

Tomorrow I will be doing the ramp covers and blankets, which will be fleece with a zorb centre, so they are reversable I think. I made a trial ramp cover last week but it needs a bit of a change in design so that it will tuck under to hold it on the ramp at the top, which I hadn't thought about earlier. I am hoping to have all of it done and tidied up by luchtime tomorrow,so there should be pictures then.

i can't wait to see what it all looks like assembled for the girls as we have never had it all on together due to the sewing in pogress.
