Mini Felt Pig to Sew | by Guest Sarah Simi
Easy |
Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps
DIY Mini Felt Pig to sew with templates! An adorable project from Sarah Simi's book “Sew Your Own Nursery Rhyme: Old MacDonald.”
Old MacDonald had a farm – E-I-E-I-O!
With a snip snip here, and a stitch stitch there, bring this adorable little pig to life in easy-to-sew felt! This “Toy Week” feature has been provided by the lovely Sarah Simi.
You could make a whole set of these cute little pigs to gift. They would make for a rather special present when paired with a felt farmhouse too.
About this special Toy Week feature
Sew Your Own Nursery Rhyme: Old MacDonald is brought to you by the successful team behind the multi-award winning, stop-motion animation company Little Woolly Vision. The book was created by writer and designer Sarah Simi and animator Ed Hartwell, along with Leeanne Bell, a freelance crafter who has worked with them on many of their projects.
Sarah makes lots of the puppets and sets for the Little Woolly Vision animations. She is also a knitter extraordinaire as well as a content creator, director and producer. Sarah now lives in USA. To find out more about her creative process, check out her episode of “Unpicking the Maker” with Corinne Bradd, which will be released on September 12th via the blog.
You can watch the animated version of Old MacDonald here.
Before You Start
- Print all of the pattern pieces onto thin card or photocopier paper.
- Cut out all of the pattern pieces and pin them to the corresponding felt.
- Carefully cut around each pattern piece with embroidery scissors – the number of pieces you need to cut from each pattern piece is stated on the patterns.
- Mark two nostril lines vertically on the snout piece with the heat-erasable pen – use the pattern as a guide for positioning.
