Pig-Mailing On 2023 Part 2

 Pig-Mailing On 2023 Part 2

This is more fun. Creating the Tails.

Pin Tail on Slippers








 

I have Sewn the I-Cords into a Loop. They are big enough for me to put my Finger through. I Have Sewn them in Opposite Directions as they are going to Curve different ways. I then Pin them on to the Slippers at the Back using the Rear Seam as a Guide. 

Tail Curl

 







I Sewed the first Curl on the Seam. I didn’t Sew it all the way up as I wanted slight movability at the Top. I then Sewed about a Fingers Length of the Cord to the Right.

I then began to Curl the I-Cord into another Loop. I Pinned in Place then Sewed all the way around. Once Again I left some Cord Unsewn at the Top.

Three Little Curls

 







I Repeated this process until I had Three Little Curls in my Piggy Tail. I then Sewed along for another Finger Length before starting to Curve the Cord Upwards.

All Curled Round

 








Now apart from making the Tail to increase Piggyness I had an alternative motive for this Tail. The Size of the Slippers are actually a couple of Sizes too large for my boyfriend.

I am going to put some insoles into them but still thought they would be a bit too big. Therefore I am going to use the Tails as Straps. I Curve the Strap over the Ankle area in a Circle. Then I Weave the Cord through the Loops.

Pair of Curly Tails.

 







I now have a couple of Pigtail Slippers.

Pig-Mailing On 2023 Part 1

 Pig-Mailing On 2023 Part 1

I know it is a terrible pun but I couldn’t resist. I ordered so Pig Slippers from Online for my boyfriend. Here is what I did next.

Pair of Slippers

 










The Slippers arrived but I didn’t think they were Piggy Enough. This was reinforced when I showed them to a classmate and she didn’t even know they were supposed to be Pigs.

Time to start Crafting.

4.5 Needles

 










Pigs are generally a Pink Colour so I found some Pink Wool I had left over. I also got out some 4.5mm Double Ended Needles.

Double I-Cord

 









As I need 2 I-Cords I am Knitting them Side by Side so can tell length easily

25 Inch

 




I carried on Knitting until the I-Cord reached 25 Inches. I needed quite a length for what I intended to do.

I-Cord Ready



I have finished both the I-Cords and Cast off. I have found some Thread that is a good Match. Therefore I am ready for the next part.
