Sharing some pics of stuff I made today

I love them! Could you send me the instructions for the bent grid hideys, the hammock and cuddle tunnels. You've inspired me to make them! But I have nowhere to get instructions

So cute! I bet they will love it. Well we all know how pigs are sometimes they don't act so gratefull all the time. Needless to say it will look really nice.

The hidey covers are way easy. Bend a grid. I then sew a cover from a piece of fabric that is 30" long by 15" tall. I hem one of the long ends, then fold it in half (so it's 15" square) and sew the other two sides. Presto! A cover.

The hammock is nearly as easy. I cut two pieces of fabric (one fleece, one a cotton print). I pin them together right sides together, with 6" lengths of ribbon in each corner, pointing toward the center. I sewed all around the edges, leaving a space so I could turn it right side out. After it's right side out, the ribbons will extend from the corners. Then I sewed all around the outside, to sew the opening shut and reinforce the edges. Loop the ends of the ribbons over the ring/clip hardware, and sew that down.

Tomorrow I will make another of each, and take pictures, so you can see.

And the tunnel:

Cut: 2 rectangles of fabric. At least 12" long, and as high as you want the tunnel to be long. I use fleece for one and cotton for the other.

2 lengths of boning (about 10" long).

Decide which fabric will be the outside. On that one, sew a strip of boning to the INSIDE, about an inch from each short end (the 12" side).

fold each rectangle in half (right sides together) lengthwise, and sew the long side together. (seperately).

Turn the "inside" piece right side out, and put it inside the outside piece. Sew around one of the open ends (pick one, doesn't matter.

Turn the whole thing right side out. Tuck the inside into the outside, and turn the raw edges of the other opening inside. sew closed.

If you had enough time, you could sell this stuff here and on Ebay. Just, if you sell stuff here, you have to donate some to keep this site up and running.

I gave up on Ebay a long time ago (they aren't very seller friendly anymore). I'm in communication with Teresa with regard to selling some of these things here. If/when I do, most of the proceeds will go to this site.

Your accessories are absolutely wonderful! If you start selling, I will buy!

Is it just me or do you have hearts sewn into the sides of one?

And I LOVE that paisley fabric! Where did you get it?! I want it!!

I would buy them too! They are super cute. Can you remove the grid to wash the cover?

Just wanted to say I love them! And that Doug is quite a handsome model.

These are amaaaazing! I wish I was that talented. I'll have to invest in a sewing machine one of these days... maybe that would help!

And Doug is a very good model!

Wow wow wow. Please sell them! I'd buy. I'm wondering about the sewn heart as well, I love it. Beautiful fabrics.

The grid is totally removeable to wash.

I will sell these eventually. I'm in communication with Teresa about when/how. I don't really want any profit from them. basically most of the money above the cost of materials/shipping will go to Cavy Spirit.

I did applique a heart onto this particular set.

Tomorrow I will post pics of the process of most of these.
