Thanks!

You can purchase cedar chips very cheaply by purchasing bedding for hamsters or other small pet rodents!

I was looking for a video on easy sewing for my interested little child, I thought this would be great, it started out so, however, I was looking for a little more detail, for someone who has never seen a sewing machine. I love the making of a pattern sheet, pinning the material, but we missed out on the sewing view, and the visibility of the pillow stuffing. Just some comments, that’s all.

thats really pro well done great work 5*

Yes, you can use other fabrics. I’d go for medium to heavy weight fabrics though – denim, any upholstery fabric, heavier broadcloth, canvas, or you could recycle old blankets, pillows, jackets…

Would this pattern work with other materials?

LMBB1975 December 5, 2011 at 3:22 am

great video! i just got my first sewing machine yesterday, and this looks like a cute & easy project. I’ll try and make one for each of my dogs. :o )

cyberseams December 5, 2011 at 5:17 am

Cedar chips are sometimes used in dog bedding to help control odor.

cyberseams December 5, 2011 at 5:19 am
