After years of intending to make the miniature Winnie-the-Pooh characters from the patterns in The Pooh Craft Book, I finally made Piglet this week.
This was a pretty straight-forward project, though a little challenging at times due to the size of the pieces, the fuzzy nature of the felt, and the way the stuffing kept popping out as I tried to sew it in between the tiny pieces.
For the suit, a rectangle sewn into a tube that is gathered at the top and bottom, I stitched some straight lines on the fabric before I seamed it to give it the ripply look of the illustrations. After finishing, I realized that in the illustrations Piglet's suit also has some buttons, so I made a few tiny stitches for those.
At the moment, I'm content with just having Piglet, but I think in terms of the other Hundred Acre Wood residents at least Winnie-the-Pooh will be making an appearance in the near future. ♥️
Aww! Isn't he just the epitome of adorable! What a sweet, precious take on Piglet (who has always been my personal favourite WTP character). I look forward to seeing any other Hundred Acre friends that you share here with us.

Thank you! He's my second favorite after Eeyore, who probably would have been first project if I had had the right color felt. :) Given how much I struggled making a dress this past week, I think you'll be seeing more of these tiny projects fairly soon...
