This is a project that was a LONG time coming. I made hedgehog cage liners and fleece bags for DH's hedgehog about a year ago. Shortly after that one of his friends also got a hedgehog and asked if I would make some liners and bags for her as well...IN NOVEMBER. I said that I was happy to but in all honestly the process was complicated by the fact that I didn't really know how to sew. The hedgehog supplies that I made for DH were my first sewing project. A few months passed during which I forgot how to wind a bobbin and adjust the sewing machine tension...and so I procrastinated.With the wedding and moving and my qualifier done, I finally got around to pulling out my sewing machine. Motivated by my desire to fix my bowl chair, I retaught myself some basic sewing skills and FINALLY got around to completing this project for my friend. If she ever reads this: I am sorry that it took me so long.
I found sewing instructions for a reversible hedgehog cuddle bag here.
The fleece cage liners were simply made by folding over, pinning, and sewing a 1-inch border to the appropriate size of fleece.
1) Cut 4 pieces of 10" x 12" squares of fleece
2) Pin and sew two pieces of the same color fleece together along THREE SIDES (leaving one of the short sides un-sewn.
3) Repeat step (2) with the other two pieces of fleece
4) Turn one of the bags right-side-out and place it inside of the other bag as shown below. You now have the "right sides" of each bag facing the other bag
5) Sew the two bags together around the opening of the bag, leaving about 3 inches.
6) Pull all of the fabric through that hole to turn the entire bag right-side-out and sew up the hole.
