today i made a stuffed pig. it's the 2nd stuffed animal/object that i've made, the first being a football. i think that i have a hard time picturing what something will look like in 3d as the piggie turned out to be very oddly-shaped and not at all like i pictured---supposed to be a round ball w/ 4 feet sticking on the bottom, and a tail behind him. instead, he is a little angular, lopsided, and oddly proportioned, but that's ok, i like him anyway. he will eventually be attached to a baby mobile (other people will be making other animals/shapes) and will be given as a gift to a friend who is expecting in june. he is about 4"Wx3"Lx4"D.

AUUUGH! he's so cute! and so round! great job!
thanks so much yall! he was fun to make even though he didn't turn out to look quite like i imagined, but i'm still happy. lulu: that is an awesome sock piggie too, i had been interested in making sock dolls/animals so will consider making something like that for sure... i don't have any pink socks, will have to get some... i know you can make not-pink piggies, but for me, it's all about the pink...
SOO CUTE! and i like how you placed the piggie on a pink felt to take the photo.
So cute! Did you make the pattern for this yourself? It seems like it would be hard to design something in the round. It would be fun to have a set of smaller ball-like animals like the piggie to use for juggling. Hope you will post a picture of the finished baby mobile!
yes, i'll definitely post a pic of the final baby mobile... i did make the pattern myself, but like i said, it didn't turn out the way i was picturing, even though i still like it. i got the idea b/c when i made the football, it turned out to be much rounder than i imagined at first---so i was trying to follow that shape, but i think i didn't draw the it quite right, and it ended up being too angular...
