Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- If you have a hedgehog, hamster, rat, sugar glider, rabbit, guinea pig, or another small animal, they would LOVE to snuggle up in this reversible fleece snuggle bag! There are no exposed seams for tiny nails to get stuck in, and it can be made in any size for any size animal. This is a super easy (and super fast) beginner sewing tutorial. Bonus: At the end, I show you how to sew an invisible seam, also called a ladder stitch.

You are so delightful! I’m a very old lady and live alone, unable to have any pets. It gets lonely, so I keep myself busy making useful or happy things to give to people. Watching tutorials helps me not only learn new skills, but also kind of keeps me company. So I just want to let you know that you brought a lot of joy to me today with your precious personality. I just said a prayer for God to bless you. With fondness, VeeBee.
Your comment made me tear up a little, thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. ♥️

You are a lovely lady 🥰
My mom found your AMAZING video for me when told her how worried I was about providing warm places for my 8 guinea pig rescues this winter. It was going to cost me hundreds to purchase snuggle sacks. Thanks to your video, mom and I are well on our way for me to have enough for them to use, be needing washed, and extra ones to be on standby. I'm so proud of what we've managed to do for $50 compared to over $400 for my little babies. Plus the feeling of pride that my mom and I did that feels awesome, all thanks to you for taking the time and caring enough to make this video. Now I'm not as worried about money, plus any I did save will go to other needs and wants for them. Thanks again from my mom and me and my 8 guinea pigs!!!💜🥰
Oh my gosh, I’m so glad!! This makes me so happy. ♥️
@@drinkandsewthings4806 I'm glad because you really helped all of us a lot and I'm sure we aren't the only ones you really helped out! Thanks again!😊💜
You’re a great teacher. I think that’s a real skill. Thanks for making this channel.
Thank you! I appreciate that. :)
Thank you beyond words! I just made four today because of how amazing your video is! now my little hedgie is going to be so happy and cozy!
Aww yay! I'm glad your hedgie will benefit and you found this helpful! :)
its really hard for me to comprhend somethings so i'll have to watch tutorials 2-3 times until i fully understand them but you genuinely made it so easy for my mind to comprehend how to make this ! you're a great teacher
Thank you!! ♥️
Thank you! My sister just got a guinea pig and I want to make him a few things. I understand why these are the best selling in your shop, you do a wonderful job! 🥰
Awesome, im drinking wine. My poor piggies need a snuggle sack. I dont know if i need one or two.
Thanks so much for this video! As a visual learner & sewist it is very helpful the way that you explain every step and not just show how it is done!
Lol I love all the drink reminders
God bless you for this video thank you so much! I have a new Guinea pig who is very shy 🙈 and I wanted to make him something comfy. You are AMAZING at teaching this I have been watching a lot of sewing videos this week (I’m making fleece liners and such) and you are very clear and descriptive and you actually gave me a chance to write down the dimensions before you moved on. Thank you!! Subscribing 😋
I’m so glad!! Thank you so much. 😊
Love this page! You're hilarious!
You would love mulled wine if you like the apple cider like that :)
Excellent! Thank you. 😉
No problem! ☺️
I love how we went from a snuggle sack to making a drink and back 😂
That’s how I do 🤣
Lol 😂
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Straight to the point. I love it. Trying to decide on size for my sons chinchilla. What did you use for your templates?
Thank you so much !!
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Of course! :) Thank you for watching!
Thank You!!!
I’m going to try to make one big enough for my black silver fox rabbit he’s huge and he may hate it but I’m going to try anyways
I hope he loved it!!
Cute
do you have a tutorial for making a bonding scarf? I have sugar gliders and am a beginner sewer but on a fixed budget. So I can't buy already made
I will definitely add this to my "videos to make" list!
Which size would be best for guinea pigs? I like your way of making these. Can’t wait to make some for my girls 💜
Most people who order for piggies from my shop order size large. 😄
@@drinkandsewthings4806 great! Thanks so much 😊
Hi. I love this tutorial and can’t wait to try! I wanna make these for my to pet goslings. I was wondering if I wanted to attach straps so I could put it around my neck wile the gosling sits in it how would I do that? I’m still new to sewing. Great tutorial btw. ❤
What a great idea!! When you put the two separate pieces together, that would be the time to add a strap. I'll add this to my list of videos to make!
Let’s be friends!!! Drinking and sewing
YAAASSSSS 🙌🙌
What length would you do for a cat
When will you open your Etsy store again?
Soon, I hope! I’ve had some family stuff going on and haven’t been able to complete orders. However - if you message me I can probably fit in one order! 😁
can you use a hand sewing machine to make these? I haven't sewn since high school and it was for half a year 😥😂
Great video, thank you. Why do you double the material? Why two pockets?
I like them reversible! This way there are also no exposed seams for tiny nails to get caught in.
@@drinkandsewthings4806 I understand, thank you for taking the time to answer my question 😁
Im going try this!! But looks abit complicated for me xD
Good luck! I believe in you!! 😉
What type and brand name is the machine you are using? I’m borrowing a friend’s old Janome 2206 and it can’t get through the thick layers. I need to purchase my own machine to do this (and embroidery). Any suggestions? Thank you so much.
I use a Pfaff Performance 2056. I absolutely love it! I have a video on my channel for what to look for in a used sewing machine if you want to buy one for yourself!
Can you do one were it's hand sewn please!
Yes!! Not this Tuesday, but next Tuesday I’ll be doing a “How to Hand Sew” and I’ll use this project as my example. 😁
Can this be made by hand without a sewing machine?
i would guess more than likely yet, follow the same steps just sew it by hand instead of with a machine. it will take more time but its worth it to see your babies all cuddled up
what's the type of fleece your using!?
I usually use anti-pill fleece but sometimes also use Blizzard which is much fuzzier! If I do use Blizzard, I usually do only one of the two bags so that the snuggle sack has one more fuzzy and one less fuzzy. Putting two of the fuzzier ones together makes it harder to sew for me. 😊
Does this work for a guinea pig?
Yes! 😊
What’s you Etsy shop name?
It's called Drink and Sew Things, just like my channel!
