1st attempt at sewing

We read the book Jenius, the amazing guinea pig, after we finished Babe (same author).  The girls have been wanting a guinea pig, but with 2 dogs and 3 monkeys I figured the zoo expense was tapped.  We visited the pet store and then we found this cute pattern at Organized Chaos
We made ours out of felt and LE cut both guinea pigs out.  Bella needed some assistance with the stitch, but LE had no problem using embroidery floss.  I first used my 1/16" Stampin' Up hole punch to punch holes around the edge, it made it super easy to thread, plus she had a pattern.  We stuffed them with cotton balls, and embellished with slick paints.
