I lurve my Ikea sewing machine. Using charity shop fleece, our old washed mattress protector and a £3:50 shower curtain, i've knocked up 3 liners, 2 cuddle cups and what I now call corner pieces (as my measurements and sewing meant the liner wasn't snug to the edges so these triangles capture the corner missiles)! Kids love the cuddle cups... Watching telly (volume low) with them x

That's brilliant ! I hadn't thought of mattress protectors or shower curtains. This forum is a wealth of information. Only wish I had and ould use a sewing machine! Where do you live, I may send you an order LOL.
Still cannot get my smiles at the end of the sentences, anyone any ideas how I move them? Drag and drop doesn't work!
The cuddle cups look divine by the way.
 
They look fab, and the piggies look like their pretty comfy x
 
Get an Ikea sewing machine x Instructions are ikea diagrams, so really easy to do everything, even I understand them!

This forum is fab as its where I got my ideas from x Kids loving snuggling with the Piggies, way more interaction than a Hamster!

Loving Piggies!!

Hi, you touch the face when you want to add one and it comes up with all your options, touch the one you want and it should appear in your post. Hope this helps :luv:

LOL. Yes it does appear, but right in the top left hand corner, not at the end of my sentence as yours has!
See? Its shown up against your quote! Ha ha, will get it to work one day! Thank you very much for trying to help me though, much appreciated. Xx

Oh yes I agree, hamsters have never really done anything for me. No offence hamster lovers, but guinea's seem to have that bit more character about them, especially if your lucky enough to have them in groups. You get to see all the differences between them all then and they can have you in stitches!
I'm getting quite interested I degus though. Just don't think its very kind keeping them on metal grid flooring. Bit too 'better for human' than natural for them for me.
If I get a machine would you post instructions as to how you made your liners here on the forum?
Please
 
Your liners are really good! I like the fleece with the dragon/monster on it!
 
Wow your clever they all look fab :) I have wanted a sawing machine of my own for years will be looking into the ikea one. I've been looking in charity shops for fleece too :)
This forum is fab for tips, and full of kind helpful people.
