Posted - Feb 25 2010 : 11:18:01 AM LOL!! You are going to laugh when you see how cute this little guy is!! He measures almost 6" long (to the tip of his snout) stands about 3" tall and is roughly 2 1/2" wide ( depending on how "stuffed" he is) Finished piggies are $3.00 each, and if you would like the pattern, they are $1.00. If your interested, drop me an email! Thanks for lookin'

Posted - May 20 2010 : 05:10:30 AM WaHOOO!!! Another one makes it safely home!!
Here are a couple of hints for sewing one up:
1: Pin right sides together for the body, sew from x to x 2: Pin right sides together for the gusset sew from x to . on each side. 3: now, with right sides together, line up the x's on the body with the gusset. Now pin the leg section to the body section on each half. It looks kind of weird but it works!
4: I start sewing at the rear x going down the back leg and following along until I reach the front x This is the only tricky part, you need to lift the needle out of the fabric and move the small amount of fabric at that seam allowance out of your way and then lower the needle back down. . . looks funny however it works to secure that seam without a pucker or a gap.
I will try to take some pictures of the process next week and post on my blog. It will help to actually "see" step 4. Hope the explanation helped some!

Posted - Mar 11 2010 : 6:13:51 PM Joanna, I received my piggie and pattern today. It is so cute. The University's mascot in Arkansas is the razorback. I have some red and white polka dot fabric that i'm going to sew into one of these cute piggies. Thank you so much. I loved the card that told about you. It's nice when you can put a name to a face. Thanks again-Georgina
