That's true my husband makes all my liners.

Yes real men and real women take care of this planet and the beautiful little lives on it ❤

It’s a growing trend for men to sew now but traditionally men have always sewed in the Army or Navy and fishermen too. Go Scotty. You might find a vintage machine might cope better with the thickness. ❤❤

Scotty is the perfect 😍 specimen of a man! My dream husband! Gotta love some Scotty💙💙💙

My mom is a master quilter. She's given me hundreds of dollars worth of custom fleeces for presents, it's so great. Guinea dad is awesome but so expensive!

Real men sew and real men kiss and cuddle gpiggies like you do Scotty! Your love and gentle handling of creatures great and small are some of what make you a fantastic human being. I love your channel and I adore your piggies and I love Pipsqueak extra (I love them all!), but watching you sew and care for piggies just gives me a warm giggle and gives me hope for humanity!

Every video should start with a cute birb

A skill I have as a woman is fly tying. Someone even told me that girls don't do that. And also, mad props to you because I can't do to save my life!

Scotty that's amazing. You didn't realise they were meant to be inside out and after that they're great. Keep up the sewing.

Thank you for sharing your adventures in sewing. I have purchased fleece blankets from my local thrift store. Variety of textures. This includes fleece pillowcases that require an absorbent layer and a bit of sewing. Also, our local library has a sewing studio and patrons can use the sewing machines for 2 hours each day for free. Lots of helpful and creative people around who are willing to help. Again, thank you for encouraging me to make my own fleece for my piggies. Love from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Hello Scotty! When My Guinea pig(Big Gilbert Baby passed away on June2,2013,He left a Scar in my Heart and Soul for years we were deeply attached and Bonded from 2009 of October till June of 2013,I see his Spirit in my home and I see my Rabbits spirits hopping in the rooms,I use to raise and own 2 Rabbits years ago,A Mini Rex Doe and a mixed breed doe Rabbit.

Sewing is fun, fun, fun. Especially for our pets.

Hey Scotty! Proud mommy of two beautiful piggies. Wanted to say, I watched the video of you picking out the fabrics. I love how the southwestern print turned out! Much love, namaste

I love to sew, cook and craft. But I'm also keen on carpentry and metalwork, I do the majority of the DIY round the house and still find time to love my guinea pigs to bits. Love that you are into making stuff for your guineas yourself. Adding a personal touch to things around your home is awesome.

One more adorable thing I noticed - Piggie Smalls looks like he is wearing pants and long sleeves, with his white hands and feet sticking out. SOOOOOOOOOOO cute! I know piggies can be escape artists, but he is above and beyond! Awesome!

Aww his little popcorn after you said we do this to make them happier. Love that

They Look Fantastic Scotty There Apsoulty Beautiful

Yes, real men can sew! Great job!

I was in a workshop class for woods and made my own furniture! I have a huge hutch, a neat stand, and a tray. I was the only girl in my class lol

Omg your bird is so cute 💖

Me and my family are thinking of getting 2 bonded female guinea pigs for a year now and you have taught me and my family a lot. Thank you!

I started making my piggies fleece 3yrs ago,went out bought a brother sewing machine and never looked back,i use waterproof mattress protectors sandwiched between fleece work a treat,well done Scotty your saving money in the long term,also its better for piggies if use properly.

I love piggy small's eye patch....and great job on your sewing.

The coolest, sweetest video! Pipsqeak's 180° was perfect & he seemed happy w the fleece and racetrack! Great job dad!🐾🐹🐾🐹👍🕊🌼🙏🎯

Awesome! Good job Scott! 💖

i would never make fun of you. 🤭😂 pipsqueek knew exactly what to do. popcorning and cleaning himself. i cant say, who is cuter. pipi or you?

Good on you mate 👍 tailors were traditionally men. I like sewing but I also love wood work and I’m pretty handy around the house. Gaining confidence with a power drill has been a game changer. Flat pack furniture is a specialty of mine.

Looks great Scotty I don't own a sewing machine but I was terrible at it in class I just never had the interest of it but I will ask for a sewing machine for Christmas this year and try again thanks your an inspiration Scotty! Lucky piggies ❤️

Kinda new to your channel and I'm loving it. Using cotton batting instead of u-haul padding is genius. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Scotty. I’ve been sewing most of my life. My Grandma taught me when I was 11 years. So that makes it 57 years. I think you are doing a great job, for a beginner. Your guinea pigs will love and appreciate the fleece. When you are making a tunnel for them to sleep in, it’s always a good idea to make extra tinkle pads, for inside. And don’t kid yourself, during the night, they will back up, hang their little butts out of the tunnel , poop and crawl back in and go to sleep. By morning, you should have a great little pile of beans. Although, on occasion, you will find a bean or two inside their tunnels. Keep up the good work. You can make pads to go under their water bottles to catch those occasional drips. If you make long, thinner pads, use a ruler or even a yardstick to assist in turning the pads inside out. I’ve found wooden spoons to also use. Since fleece and the batting does ravel, just pin the end together and stitch a couple of rows of stitching, to secure the end together. Make sure, when you start sewing to stitch forward about 1/2 inch, then hold the reverse button and stitch backwards to secure the seam end together. When you get to the end of your seam, slowly sew to the end and hit that reverse button again, and while holding the reverse button in, sew about 1/2 inch backwards, then release the button and sew forward to the end. Then lift up your presser foot up and clip the threads. Good luck. You will get better as time goes on. There is a KZfaq listing called GuineaPiggiesDesigns. She has tutorials on how to sew all kinds of things, step by step. You’ll be a Pro in no time. Happy Stitching, Nancy 😇🥰🐹💗💕 p.s.- please check your tutorial on how to build a C & C cage. I have some questions about coroplast.

Great job, Scotty! You got so much better throughout the video too! Now I want to learn to sew. See what you do? I guess that's the point! You inspire your viewers to challenge themselves 🤗

How cute Pipi is, he told you with his popcorn how happy he is with his new running track 🤩❤️👍🏻!! It’s nice to have seen you buying the fleece and now making them 👍🏻🥰 !!

Yes, sewing is a great skill to have!! I just found your channel! Keep up the great work with your piggies!!

❤️ those liners!

you are a trip Scotty! loved the video, thank you!

Yes I am making piggy pads from my old comforter with Terry cloth inside for absorption.I made all mine buy hand till I get a machine. I have 2 piggy's.there names are popcorn and precious. I just love 💕 your videos thanks slot and GOD BLESS you

My dad actually sews and helps my mom sew things up. He was the one who actually helped me make my first guinea pig fleece pads ❤️ sewing is for everyone honestly!

Well done, Scott! I think it's good for everyone to know basics about anything you might need to fix or make. Men lose buttons, too! Car tires don't NOT go flat just because it's a woman's car! I can do quite a bit of construction (even used to co-own a construction company), and was an oil change mechanic for a short while in my younger years. I learned to sew on a machine by making piggie fleeces. I'm not an expert, yet, but the piggies don't seem to mind a few imperfect seams. hehe

Mine are all home made with heart and soul as you say, I like to say mine have character 🤣

100% agree, fleeces are for all piggies and made by all 💜

You just get more awesome Scott! 😎🙌🏻🙌🏻🌟🐿🌟😘

My husband and i have been watching all your videos as our family is adopting 2 female piggies at the end of November and we want to be ready. My husband has called you the Mr. Rogers of guinea pigs. Your enthusiasm and joy and calm loving attitude is so enjoyable!

Hi Scotty! Thank you so much for giving me a shout out about my new rabbit in Saskias (15:00 in) live stream, it means a lot! You can see her if you want... it would mean even more than the world to me as I am only 11 but 12 soon 🥰💕💖

Good job Scotty.

With the long skinny piece you can use it to make side of a cuddle cup all you need is a circle shaped pad to go in the middle.

Scotty, lol, you're HILARIOUS!!! All you have to do is watch a tutorial, there are so many to watch, and many are very easy to follow! Yes, Valerie probably has some uploaded, and I know I've watched Paiges pets, she does piggy items as well. Also, I know the cotton batting is absorbent, but if you get a U haul blanket, you'll have better results, I think anyway, or put a piece of U haul in between the batting for more absorbency. I know there are alot of different materials as absorbent layers you can use. Guinea piggy designs is a channel that has alot of different tutorials as well. Good for you!

Hii i love your videos thanks for your content

Nails is looking sooo good you wouldn’t think 🤔 he is the same piggy. I like home 🏠 maintenance fixing things working with tools, also looking after cattle. It is changing here inAustralia, women are going into many things that were considered the male domain, not so much the other way. Cooking everyone is into.

Yassss eliminate gender conforming hobbies! I fix and construct things all the time!

Yay! I was wanting to sew some new liners for my cage!

As a woman there are a number of things that supposedly you need a man to do. However I can change a deadbolt lock on a door, install window blinds, assemble a wooden bookcase, and all with no help at all. So that makes me feel proud and capable. 😊🎺🎺 Scotty I love those potty pad runners you made. It's a brilliant idea. I have tons of fleece I bought months ago, and cotton batting. My sewing machine is a Singer, but it's still in the box it came in. But those runners you made have really motivated me to start sewing!! ☺️

Thanks Scotty, you've taught me a lot.

Thanks!!! I will try it out 👍🏻 I haven’t used the old sewing 🧵 machine in a while mine as well give it a shot.

Yay!! Scott the piggies will love the soft pads and they won't judge for perfection just comfort. I have all the supplies but we just moved (buried in boxes) but I will get them done so much easier than trying to make a flat surface with two layers that are too wide and two long( towels and fleece) I change and clean their cage every day. Thanks for sharing.

You did great, the pads are super cute, and now maybe some more people won't be afraid to try

I love that you showed all of the trials you made. It's so important for people to see what sewing is really like. It's all fun and games until the bobbin runs out! 😆 Good job!

Ooh that’s such a good idea!! My fleece liners cost soooo much!

you look good with the glasses. from a stright male

In England I don’t think sewing is considered women’s work cos we have sewing shows where the contestants and Judges are male and female

You look awesome behind the sewing machine Scotty. 😉 I see all my guinea pigs pads, cage liners, and snugglies. It's fun.

"Go home" "look at what you did" oh my god. One of my piggies do that stuff too and its like you fugitive get back in your home

nothing wrong about men sewing, its a creative thing just like making a shelf or set of cupboards lots of men sew upholstery for furniture /cars etc no difference to making stuff you need for your piggies or home your doing good Scotty , I learnt handsewing at home and on machine in home ec class in school, by that time my mum had a sewing machine so we always had one about my brother used to use it to for his stuff, I learnt to sew for my piggie from youtube videos , a pattern and instructions for every thing you want, in saying that my first 3 cage liners were handsewn, big job but still they are holding together, until I bought me a machine now I have alsorts of stuff, and I used furniture blankets for the absorbent lining works really great and is cheap from the hardware store, Im in New Zealand and a large blanket is around $10 - $12 and makes 2 - 3 liners for a 4x2 C&C style cage with pieces left over for some small pads, and a tunnel or 2, I live alone so I do anything I need to have done from building shelves , using hand tools, saws , all that stuff and can fix cars not so much now as Im getting older and arthritis restricts my moveability but Ive done panel beating, welding and spent 18 yrs operating heavy machinery , I can drive them all, trucks, big and small and I can also find my way around a computer and have done office work as well, was Quarry Manager for 6 yrs until an accident put me on disability, hence the reason I now have time for piggies and my cat, heres a tip for ya, if your going to be sewing lots get you a rotary cutter, honestly its a blessing in disguise, perfect lines none of that sissor action and you can cut several pieces at a time which makes all your pieces the same size so sewing will be a breeze , its a round blade cutter made by Friskars

That is so clever ! Thank you for the tips! Additionally, omg your piige is so cute I am in love

From Malaysia here, my dad was able to sew shirts from cutting patterns etc. My mum and her sisters sew, most of their generation did but not all. Grew up in Singapore, boys learn woodworking and girls learn sewing/cooking in school but we hardly do it outside the classroom. Came to USA, saw Jo-Ann and imagine that everyone here sews.

Wauw! That looks really good. I made it myself to. It saved a lot of money and it's always nice to learn something new. Love to watch your video's! Thanks Scotty! 🧵

I will definitely try making these if I find the cotton! Liners are pretty expensive so it's super Worthy!!

I’m in the UK, and sewing I think is still generalised as a female thing. In terms of what hobbies do I as a female have which are generally considered male....I love DIY and building things. One of my favourite things to do is draw up plans for things I could build. I very rarely build any of these as they get quite elaborate and could be expensive, but I built my piggies hay tray, and I built their last cage, too. I’m the process of designing a shoe rack, too :)

I love it Scott!!! Not many men would consider getting behind a sewing machine even if they secretly wanted to and make something. !!

I'm totally obsessed with sewing fleece liners, tunnels, etc. for all my Guineas and Ratatouilles, as well as, a few small things for my Hammies' playpen...

Hi Scotty! I work in construction as a welder. It is a very male dominated field. At home, i do all kinds of 'women's work', though. I sew, crochet, garden(I'm pretty sure gardening is for men also) And men can be sew-ers. Taylors for men's clothing have traditionally been men and shoe makers have sewing skills, too. Sewing is a perfectly acceptable skill for men.

Nice 😄 Scotty sewing tutorial for beginners. Got a singer heavy duty machine for Christmas. Thought who ask but you what to do need some pee pads now know where mine go most I need more guess time get creative 😆

In answer to your questions, me and my husband live in the USA. He sews just fine and dandy, and I enjoy fishing. Basically we do things because we want to, f- what everyone else thinks.

Great video Scotty! 😊

I learned "necessary female skills" in school, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and sewing, by hand(mostly mending holes in socks and underwear) and machine. I hated it then! Too female. I wanted to do woodworking, sawing, drilling, gluing, filing, staining, nailing, and putting screws in properly. I had to find out that this "boys' education" did not take place, but partaking in the textile arts was compulsory for girls. I went to school in the 1970s and equal opportunity was still a fledgling. Later in life I returned to the textile arts, but taught myself to crochet lace (instead of baby wear), do hardanger embroidery, knit elaborate cable patterns. These days I design my own patterns, often as I go. In my family I learned to put on wallpaper, and paint it, and lay tiles. When I bought my apartment these skills were handy. Scott, I think it doesn't matter if a woman or a man do sewing, or any kinds of textile arts. Neither does it matter if a woman or a man build furniture. In history, embroiderer was a male profession, as was weaving. The small scale personal use embroidery and weaving was done by the women, to my knowledge that is. Or part of the family income was generated by "cottage industries".

Love your videos!

Im impressed, im gonna have to have a go now, kisses to all piggies xx

Great job on the fleece!! I can’t believe how high Piggy smalls can jump. All your piggies are so adorable!!

I love that lil he he

I’m so excited I’m about to get some new GPigs and make them some new fleece items! I’ve been binge watching your videos! ❤️

First time ever touching a sewing machine was to make a potty pad. My husband showed me how to use the machine 😳🤣 I’m getting better. I can’t measure to save my life, but I try. And my lines are never straight. Thanks for all of your videos. I’ve learned so much from you and your lil piggies 😍🥰

I learned it in 7th grade home ec, and Im glad I did.

Love that native American fleece :)

Piggy Smalls is ADORABLE!! I love his c oloring! Scotty, I'll admit, you did a really, really good job, I'm impressed! I'm going to give it a try! I've wanted to do it for awhile, I spend way too much on fleece liners and items, lol!

you've inspired me to give it a shot. we were looking at fleece today at the wall of mart but didnt find any uhaul blanket things. i just got my fleece flippers in from the guinea pig mart and i need to get at least one more set.

Hey Scotty, i can totally relate! I wanted to make my own fleece pads too because the wood chips were getting messy and I was reacting to them. I had to learn to sew using KZfaq. Here's a good channel that got me started in using my sewing machine - Tock Custom. He's great at explaining even specific for your machine. I've butchered many pieces of uhaul pads and fleece to make pads. Practice makes progress and now the piggies love them. I can make them any size I want including LOTS of pee pads to throw around each corner of the cage and under space houses. You are doing great and thanks for sharing your journey!

Awesomely love it eeeekkkkk... yes lol!

Tip for finding cheep fleece: check the discount rack at Joann’s, and look for fleece blankets at goodwill.

can you do a video on what to put in your care kit on what cleaning item`s to use

Never took sewing classes in school. I just learned it on my own. Love learning new skills!!! But great job Scott! Its takes lots and lots practice! 🙂

Good job.👍

Hi Scotty, there are a lot of tutorials on KZfaq to show you how to sew guinea pig bedding. That's how I learnt to make them. That might help you in your sewing journey 😊

I can’t use a sewing machine. I tried and I just decided not for me. But you did great. Love all the Vlog . Keep it up:)

I literally just bought a sewing machine so I could make bedding for my piggies!

Scotty ! you did amazing ,, and the piggys dont care if there a tiny mistake , and those mistakes make it unique x Funny how sewing is seen as feminine , same as knitting and crochet . i dont sew but i crochet and ib made pads for my piggys to lay on and the love them x wonderful Video Scotty , thank you for sharing x

It takes skill and patience to sew. It does not take being a women. Good job once again Scotty

He was like come at me bruh

That’s nice !

I am the hand sewer in our family and my husband is the machine sewer! We make a good couple.

Wow Scotty you did a great job. You’ve inspired me to pull out my sewing machine and get started on making pads for my boys. I have old baby fleece blankets from when my kids were little. Maybe putting some Velcro on the plastic boards would help the pads stay in place.
