An original Nosey Nest Pattern.
© Copyright 2008 Nosey Nest. All rights reserved.
Please do not make money using this pattern. Just store it in the piggy bank...

It's obvious pigs are very nosey animals. So a free piggy bank pattern is the logical thing to do..... isn't it ?
Parts ( download PDF part 1 and part 2. )
1. Exterior side A ( cut once, exterior fabric )
2. Exterior side B ( cut once, exterior fabric )
3. Lining side A ( cut once, lining fabric )
4. Lining side B ( cut once, lining fabric )
5. Nose ( cut once, lining fabric )
6. Ears ( cut four times ; twice lining fabric, twice exterior fabric )
7. Tail ( cut twice; once lining fabric, once exterior fabric )
Enlarge to every size you wish. This one can hold a creditcard and some money.
Materials needed
- Fabric ( print for lining, plain for exterior. Of course, you could do all solid or all print, or a variety. )
- Button
- Little black beads for the eyes.
- Embroidery floss to make a little loop to hook around the button.
- Optional some stuffing for the snout.
Description
- Cut all parts out of the fabric. Include a 1/4" seem.
- Sew together the ears and tail and turn right sides out ( Be patient, the fun starts after this ).
- Pin en sew parts 2 and 4 together up to the arrows ( see picture below ). Back stitch at each end to secure.
- Same for part 1 and 3.
- Pin both piggy sides together with the lining facing ( see picture below ).
- Put the tail in the right place. 
- Sew together from forehead to tail. Leave the nose open. Back stitch at each end to secure. Make sure the lining doesn't get stuck.
- Handsew the little circle for the snout in the right place.
- Turn everything right side out.
- Sew the ears on ( don't sew through the lining ).
- Sew on some beads for the eyes ( mind the lining again ).
- Make a knot in the tail.
- Make a little loop for the button with embroidery floss.
- Sew on the button.
- You might want to put some stuffing in his nose.
Pin and sew together the bottom of the lining.
Put the lining in his belly.
This piggy is ready to be fed ! You're done !
For anybody who wants to own a piggy bank but doesn't want to sew; the piggy bank you can see in the pictures above is now in the Nosey Nest Shop. More piglets will be added later.
If you made a piggy bank with this pattern please add a picture to the Nosey Nest Tutorial Group at Flickr.
Have fun !

Thanks for a great tutorial. Just made my first one and it looks great. I am ashamed to say that I have tried sewing a coin purse like this before without a bottom seam but was too dense to figure it out. THANKS for the insightful tutorial.
You are brilliant! I am so happy to find your patterns. I am going to make these for my brothers and brothers in law. So so cute!
Thank you thank you!!!
