It looks like a pig without a tail. If I was doing it I'd do an outline stitch for the mouth and give him a slight smile. He looks like he is also enjoying the sunshine so how about closed eyes again with an outline stitch?

They sure do look like pigs! There was never a moment of hesitation when I looked at them - I knew they were pigs immediately. And they're cute, to boot!! Keep working on them - you'll be happy when it's finished - really!!!

I think it is so cute!!! For making the tails, how about making a thin tube of bias cut material and putting a piece of pipe cleaner in it. That way you can curl it, and simply tack it onto the pigs bum.

Keep going! I like what you have already done. The leg creases, the curly Q tails already suggested, and perhaps some little eyes, embroidered, small crystals, or sequins, might also be cute. Anxiously waiting to see the finished product, and also some pics along the way. m

They are quite unusual in that they do not represent the piggy bank style of pig and look quite realistic in shape.If your machine can do blanket stitch, why not try a tiny one and see if you like it any better than the satin stitch?
