Pigs and Piglets - A Fabric By Fabric One Yard Wonders Project (in progress)

For Christmas this year I received the Fabric By Fabric One Yard Wonders book. Here is my first project from this fun-looking book.

I am going to attempt to make two mama pigs, and 12 piglets. (One set for each child)

Here are the some of the supplies. Interfacing to trace the pattern pieces. Pink fleece. Felt, velcro dots, pink zippers, pink thread, polyester fiber fill and black embroidery fleece. Add to that pink yarn, cotton fabric and elastic, which aren't pictured, and we've got everything we need.













Tracing and cutting...

I have sat down twice now to cut out pieces, and I'm not done yet. With 2 mama pigs and 12 piglets to create, there are many, many pieces involved! The piglets take 5 body pieces each...

96 piglet foot pieces. 12 piglets, 4 feet each, two pieces per foot. The instructions say to sew these together. I know without trying that my sewing machine will not want to stitch these little things. So I will have to sew them all on tear-away fabric. I will be working on them for a l.o.n.g time.

I knew without trying that my sewing machine would eat these little parts for lunch, so I am stitching them all on tear-away fabric. Can you say ugh? All the piglet ears are stitched, on to the piglet feet. All 48 of them. A little every day...
