    I made these a year ago and now that my piggies are grown ladies, I am making these again but bigger! They love them! Thank you so much for this video! You are the reason so many piggies have nice and comfy beds 😊😊
    A tip! I also make "mattresses" to lay on the inside that have old towels instead of the lining on the inside, for better absorption. And I can wash those more often than the whole bed.

    @christinehaslam9480 3 года назад +2

    Thank you for this vid... You make it look so easy one handed...LOL
    Just some tips i've learned along the way...You could sew a piece of uhual moving blanket to the top circle --- along with the badding... It will help wisk the pee away and keep the bed dryer in between washings...
    Also, you could sew a + in the bed (part they lay on) once its finished, to keep the badding from bunching up when washing and drying...
    But seriously --- Awesome vid...

  • @sherryclements784
    @sherryclements784 6 лет назад +12

    To Lily Rousseau - instead of using the white stuff she recommended-just use the towel or other material to absorb. They also say to prewash the fleece several times, so it will absorb. New unwashed fleece just beads up the liquid. Or you could complete the project, measure your completed inside circle and add half an inch. Then cut 2 circles of fleece and 1 of absorbant to that size. Layer absorbant material, fleece, fleece. Sew along outside of circle using a 1/4 inch seam allowance; leaving a turning hole. Turn so both fleece are on the outside, and sew the hole.

    • @dawnlawson-weingaertner3936
      @dawnlawson-weingaertner3936 5 лет назад

      The batting shown and used in this video is Poly Fil polyester batting, even though it's being referred to as "cotton" batting, and isn't absorbent. An actual cotton batting would be fairly absorbent.
