i tried to make a deep dish ferret bed. the fabric was just something in a free box down the road. i don't have a sewing machine so it's a little lumpy and the stitches look bad because i only had white thread. instead of using that flat foam for plushiness (which i can't afford to buy right now) i used stuffing out of an old pillow (just the cottonish type stuff).

i figure it's my "practice bed" so hopefully there will be more to come that look progressively better. until i can get new supplies i think i'll just try to work on a bed for the senior kitties next.

k, here's pix (ignore the annoying white stitching please). this all took me a few hours to make by hand.

It looks great. Honestly if the thread matched you'd think it was shop bought. I bet he's not bothered. Looks just the right size for him.

Your guys are so lucky to have you spoiling them.

That's brilliant! My mother is a retired seamstress; unfortunately I haven't inherited her talent as I can barely sew a button. So I'm in awe of the cushions, beds and snugs you are making for your ferrets and cats. Nice job Tink :D

That's so wonderful! I'm really impressed, and the white stitching gives it a nice home-made feel :) You obviously got the seal of approval too from those who know best ;) He looks very comfy in there!

You're so clever to be able to do that! And all by hand, too, I'd never dare tackle doing that. It definitely has the Ferret Seal of Approval!
