How in the heck would I sew one of these? I could love to get one for my piggies but they are too expensive for me to purchase and I just LOVE sewing new toys and such for my babies.

Thanks All!!!

If I was making this here is what I think I may do:

Cut two semi-circle shapes - one for the entrance and the back wall
Cut a rectangle to go across the top and two squares for the bottom and the flap.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for but looking at the pictures I think it may work. This design also looks similar to a cat hidey/bed.

seeing as say you make a lot for your piggers what do you make? I made a cozy and a hidey and now I dont know what to make any ideas?

How do you clean something like that? I was thinkiing about making some hidies but worried they'd be diffecult to wash.

I made the inside of my cozie removable Im sure you could do the same with these.

Okay, I have absolutly NO experience with sewing, but I have an idea. This may be the stupidest idea in the world, to all you good sewers out there, but what the heck, I'll give it a try!

The botton of the cozie (square part) I presume is pretty straight forward. Maybe you could put some velcro on it on the edges to attach it to the top? for the top, I think you could cut two semi-circles, well one with just the outline of a semi circle, for the doorway. I don't know how to put this into words, but maybe you could make a slot along the outer curved part of the semi-circles and get some wire in them to hold it open....maybe? And you could leave the slots open so you could slip the wire out when you want to wash it..... I don't know. :] Hope I somehow helped!

Oh, and a rectangle to go across the back. :]

well i think you make an extera squear that comes out as like a pad to change when it gets wet and you can probably just throw the whole thing in the wash?
