What to make and how?

[Mookie]

I have leftover fleece for the chins and I was just wondering what I should make them? Also please include how to make them

It doesn't have to be exact instructions, just an idea.

I made a hanging house, and corner hammocks

There's a sticky at the top of the Housing & supplies thread on how to do things yourself. It includes wood items but there are some fleece how-to-do's in there to.

Here it is just in case you can't find it -

Thanks! Does anyone know how to make a hanging house?

I'd also like to learn how to make a hanging house! I'm challenged when it comes to sewing. Hahhaha

I can sort of explain :S I made i circle one instead of a square

1) First of all i decided to use a dinner plate to measure the top and bottom, i cut out four circles instead of two for the extra support. Its easier to draw your circles on the fleece and dont cut to the line so when you sew youve got more room.

2) Next i measured the the circles circumfrence and then drawn a straight line on the fleece (i also doubled up on this too, to make it thicker) I decided how deep i wanted my house to be and then drawn another circle in between to make the door hole and cut out.

3) Using spare bits of fleece i made the parts to hang the house up with (up to you how big you want those) Then i pinned my house together and turned the right way round to get an idea of what it would look like when finished. I sewed the hanging strips in then sitching altogether but you could sew on when youve finished the house.

4) Stitch when happy, i hand stitched this because my sewing machine broke and to be honest i found it easier because i could unthread it if i made a mistake.

5) I also hand stitched the circumfrence of the door hole with a thin peice of fleece to make it look neat and i also made a pillow for inside.

Im sorry if my instructions arent very clear, it was all guess work with me and looking at other peoples hand made houses. Heres a picture so hopefully you know what i mean. I tied my hanging parts because they they were too long
