Sewing project: plush piggy

Last week my sister turned 25. I can't believe how old we are getting! When we were little she loved Charlotte's Web. She had tons of pig everything. She even had a cat named Charlotte after the heroic spider in the book. A few weeks back I found a vintage Charlotte's Web book and wanted to make a pig stuffed animal to go with it for her birthday gift. It will be a sweet thing for her to save for her kids. I made it out of vintage hankies. I just started cutting pieces out and sewing things together not knowing exactly how it would turn out. Owen loved it when it was finished so I think that means it turned out great! He was always finding it and running off with it. I hope her kids will enjoy it someday too!

    1. Thanks! I just went and looked at the crafty stuff on your blog. You have made some really cute things! I didn't realize you were so good at sewing. I'm just a beginner but am loving creating things!
