Little Piggie

For Christmas I made my daughter a stuffed pig, as she loves stuffed animals. Her doggie and Mickey go everywhere we go. No tutorial for this just a share, since I used a Simplicity Pattern for it as I have never made a stuffed animal before, so no making that on the fly. When I first read the instructions they made no sense to me and I did not think I was going to be able to pull it off. However, once I started making it, it was quite easy. I did not have any button eyes at the time, so I just made the eyes out of thread. I will be making her more stuffed animals soon and will be making angry birds for my son. Here is a picture of the piggie, along with the blanket I made her:

 

 

 

It was such fun to make the pig and so much cheaper than buying her a stuffed animal from the store. Those can get expensive. I enjoy making my children things and seeing the smiles on their faces when I give them what I have made them. I am now working on a pair of pants for my daughter and some felt food for both the kids. I will post a tutorial for the felt food once I am done working on it.
