    3 weeks ago I didn’t even know how to approach a sewing machine. Today I made my first cuddle cup and have made a bunch of fleece liners for my piggy princesses! I can’t wait to make more! Definitely feel like I have the courage to try the hidey hut next!

    She never had a bed and always used my blanket to make a shape kinda like a bed to sleep in. It so cute to see her sleep in my blanket. This is probably one of the best gifts for her. And I watched some of your other tutorials already. I'm watching them first Before making them. I will edit this comment when i made it on Christmas

    please make sure you pin your fabrics with the pins facing 90 degrees from the direction you are sewing -- the needle can pass over them easier if you forget to remove them and they don't risk getting stuck in your feed dogs or presser foot 🤗

    Was wondering if your pattern on etsy covers both the normal and large cuddle cup. My boys are big Lunkarya and Swiss at between 1.1 and 1.5kg so would need large size 😆.
    Thanks xx
