I finished my piggy yesterday. He is at work with me next to Haley T. Bear (http://truelovetreasures.blogspot.com/2005/01/my-thread-bear-haley.html)! :)

Check out my blog (http://truelovetreasures.blogspot.com/2005/04/oinky-t-pig.html) for more about him!

That is very cute. Makes me want one too!! :lol

I wonder if that pattern can be made and stuffed with something so it is "newborn/infant safe"? Any ideas, people?? My soon to be nephew should really have a little piggy!!

The piggy and bear are both child safe and both patterns are from large size animal patterns. They would both be good kiddo toys if made with yarn, all parts are sewn on and if you do it well enough they can take a lot of tugging. If you see the blog posts for the bear and pig (links in the first posting) I note where the patterns come from. The bear is originally made with Red Heart Baby Clouds and is about 16" big...I am working on of these right now - pics when done. And piggy is made with worsted weight yarn but would be darling with the Baby Clouds yarns.

I forgot all about Shannon's winged pig. I actually have that pattern printed out, I just might have to make that one soon!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful compliments. And for you new threadies, thread is WONDERFUL. Once I got the hang of it I can't stop. I would rather use thread than yarn any day!

Yeah, I just happened to have some pink and lt pink baby yarn so I whipped it up. I found the buttons for his eyes in some buttons I had and the nostrils are just black button thread like I sewed the eyes on with.

Only took a couple-3 hours.

Edit: He's about the size of a tennis ball. I think I'll give him to my secret pal at church along with a bath pouf and some bath goodies for Mother's Day.
