My first hedgie bag! - 2007/10/13 22:20I made my first hedgie bag today... the picture is kinda dark but I think you get the idea. It turned out being about 8"x11". The inside is black polar fleece and the outside is a brown/green flannel. All seams are between the two linings and there are no loose or exposed threads. I took advantage of the fact that fleece doesn't unravel, and turned it down over the exposed threads at the top and sealed that all in as well. I also made a 12"x12" blankie and a larger 24"x24" for "nervous" people to hold him/her in on their lap.
Unfortunately I have no hedgehog to test them out with but, keeping my fingers crossed, I might shortly!

However I would have advised against the black inside because it can hide discoloured discharge, or blood or something if they end up getting hurt.
But great job :3 you're very talented!

Re:My first hedgie bag! - 2007/10/13 23:09Thanks so much! I'm pretty excited about it. Sadly this is how I spent my Saturday night
Your right, I wish I had some lighter colored fleece but this is what I had on hand. I'm glad I figured out how though... now I have an uncontrollable urge to go shopping for fleece!Check out Ham's Blog !

Re:My first hedgie bag! - 2007/10/14 10:01That looks very cozy! I made tons of these out of extra fleece I had... Due to my sad ability at sewing however, they are all one layered and odd shapes and ends... I even have one that looks like a piece of underwear *~*Steph*~* Cotton, Noodles & Cocoa (hedgehogs), Kuruku & Kimiko (kittehs), Sushi & Lily (Ryukin Goldfish), Rosy & Ruby (beagle sisters), and Archie & Rocky (African Dwarf Frogs).

Re:My first hedgie bag! - 2007/10/18 14:45Ok I made an underwear/hedgie bag today. Unfortunately I forgot my camera in the car so I'll have to post the picture later on tonight, after I see Tori Amos at the Orpheum!
AND... NO it's not made out of underwear. BUT... It's made to LOOK like underwear. Check out Ham's Blog !

I now have visions of a hedgehog parading around, wearing a bra and a thong (well we wouldn't want a visible panty line, would we?)! Barbara with Hector & Harriet Hog Glasgow, Scotland

Re:My first hedgie bag! - 2007/10/18 19:22OK, that's kinda funny! Can't wait to see what it actually looks like.
It's white fleece double lined with bias tape sewn on the front to simulate hemmed edges, leg holes and erm.. other holes. I also used an extra wide strip at the top to seal in all of the seams and whatnot.
