@MildredMaudeandEnid thanks, so not surprised, they are adorable! I'd be after a dog and possibly a cat. I'm not on Facebook :no: but I'll keep an eye on here and get in touch in a few months!

I'm not doing cats right now (they're really complicated! ) but I've done a few dogs and have a couple more in the pipeline.
 
I still had some scraps of plan fleece around so I made this today! This is the first time I've sewn a tunnel. I have enough of the flower fabric to make another one using turquoise fleece. I had some trouble getting the fleece stuffed under the foot of the sewing machine so the stitching is a bit wonky. Wonky side not shown.

You will do well because you will become more experienced as the patterns get more complicated.

Thank you, I'm hoping that's the case but I have a slight issue at the moment as I sent my current machine to be looked at as I was having issues with the tension, had to borrow one at the class, only to be told that actually my machine is no longer made so they could take it apart and see what is wrong with the tension mechanism but it's quite likely they can't get replacement parts so I'd be paying a good amount of money for labour which I could put towards a new machine. Or they could try to fashion a repair part but it wouldn't be guaranteed how long it will last.
So my lovely gift is beginning to be a lot more expensive than we had planned 🤦‍♀️

It is beautiful - well done.
And pretty much everything I sew for the piggies is a bit wonky somewhere.
But despite that, as they sit on things and wee and poo on them they have never once stopped to berate me for my less than perfect sewing.
So if it looks nice and works for the piggies, the sewing doesn't really matter!
 
Belle the Psychedelic Wonder Pig (she has insisted this is her full title and mustn't be shortened) has been supervising the construction of a pipe cleaner rainbow as she claims so be an expert on the subject. Unfortunately I've had to demote her after she failed to spot I'd inverted the colours and was making it upside down. Oh, Belle!

@MildredMaudeandEnid
These are brilliant. How much do you charge for a doggy? I’d love to have one made of my Eddie who passed last November aged 16.5. I know you said you are busy so no rush. I’m not on Facebook.

I've been charging £35 plus postage for the ones I've done so far. I'm booked up until June at the minute then I think I'll take a break for a few weeks but just pester me again later in the year and we can sort something out.
 
Well as I've now got a sewing machine I thought I'd try and make the pigs a tunnel. It's been almost 10 years since I've used a proper machine so they're not great, but usable. You can tell which one is my first attempt. I also made a pee pad.
