These are my second and third attempts at sewing guinea pig beds by HAND. Took me ages haha.
But I like the cupcake and heart material :)

Wondering if I should sell these types of things. Would people buy them?

Super cute. You did a good job, I would definitely buy one if they're sold at a reasonable price. :)

@aubrey & @Aleks: Awh thank you :) of course they'd be cheap because I sewed them by hand and can't guarantee they would last as long as machine made examples, however I will be double stitching in the future :)

Thank you very much :) Yes, it took me a while but when I decide I'm going to do something, I do it. Took me three days xD to do each one. I can't wait until I get a sewing machine!

@piggi_zone: I went into a fabric store and asked for 'wadding' which is what my stuffing is, but I think in America they call it 'batting', so you could just ask for either of those, they're the same thing, people just use different names. Hope that helps :)

@Amy262: Me too! I've nearly finished my etsy, and then I'll open up shop. I've just got to sort out the billing parts and such.
It's exciting :)
So many people have started sewing for piggies, so there's lots to learn and buy xD
I've also put my stuff on the guineapigzone to see if there's any interest on there :)
