Hello,
I'm planning on trying to make my own kind of cuddle cup style thing, i have some old fleece and stuff, and i just wanted to know if anyone had anytips for me.
What materials do i need ? (i have the fleece)
basically the fleece I'm using was from when i was little it's like a scarf thing, it has a circle that you put around your neck then two bits of scraf hanging out that you wrap around your head or whatever you'd rather, so i'd like to use that as it has pawprints on it (i was a little dog mad)
i want to make one that will be able to be washed etc. so not sure wether to put padding on the bottom, and I'm not sure on what to use for the padding thats piggy and washing machine safe.
I'm gonna get my mum to help with sewing and stuff 'cause i've never been very good at this sort of thing.
Anyhelp would be gratefully appreciated
 
Dunelm do some pretty good padding, it comes on rolls so you can buy as much as you need. You will need two long strips (either both fleece or one cotton one fleece)
And two circles, either both fleece or one cotton one fleece.

Cant think of anything else. Good luck!
 
Have a look at this link.

There are some great patterns for piggy furniture. Ok, the instructions are in German and Googles translation is a hoot, but the pics are very clear and I've made quite a few of the cuddle rolls and sofas and they've all turned out great.
