ITH Piggy Hand Puppet

$5.00

Oink oink! Whether he’s going to market or waiting for a pancake, this little piggy will delight the kids in your life. They’ll be amazed that YOU made it for them. (You never need to tell them how simple it really was.)
  • Includes 2 sizes:  small for 5×7 hoops to fit child’s hands, and large for 8×8 or 6×10 hoops to fit adult hands.
  • Designed for Beginners!  Very easy to stitch in one hooping, then cut and turn.
  • Use any fabrics and colors to suit your own style.  Fleece makes a sturdy puppet.  Try terry cloth for a bath mitt, or use your favorite cotton prints to really jazz up the look!  Try upcycled fabrics for an eco-friendly puppet.
  • This puppet has applique tummy, nose, and ears.  You can skip the applique steps, or just stitch the outlines for an even faster stitch-out.
  • The tummy area provides room for personalization if you have fonts on your embroidery machine.
  • Satin stitches for applique areas are nice and wide.  No need to worry about perfect cutting.  This is a good project if you’re still learning applique on your embroidery machine.
