I'll have to see if I can find some, thanks for the lead!!<br /><br />I've thought about polyester stuffing, but I wonder if it would be dense enough? It's definitely on the plan if all else fails :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-8701274917105416742016-12-24T12:58:59.908+13:002016-12-24T12:58:59.908+13:00Woohoo!!

I will give it a go though and report back.

...Hey Ali! Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it.<br /><br />I found the sawdust for my original in a pet shop in Sydney and so thought it wouldn't be hard to find here either. Turns out I was wrong! They don't seem to sell it in small packs here in NZ. They have wood shavings (which we have for our chooks anyway), but I'm not convinced they'd pack down tight enough :( <br /><br />I'm sure I'll come up with something :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-42301060782505028212016-12-21T08:22:08.022+13:002016-12-21T08:22:08.022+13:00Hi Jennifer - have you considered using chaff for ...Hi Jennifer - have you considered using chaff for the filling of the Tailor's Ham? Should be easy to obtain a modest quantity from an animal-feeds stockist, and it was used years ago for an easily-replaced mattress-filling; is clean, bright and non-dusty if good quality as it should be for horses :)<br />Compliments of the season to you, and thank you for your charming blog which I've been following for some years.<br />[Valerie]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-50878034051910235302016-12-21T07:09:27.814+13:002016-12-21T07:09:27.814+13:00Thank you for kindly sharing your pattern and tuto...Thank you for kindly sharing your pattern and tutorial, have you considered using crushed walnut shell for stuffing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-7489487308104217442016-12-20T22:18:58.545+13:002016-12-20T22:18:58.545+13:00This is timely, I have making new tailors hams and...This is timely, I have making new tailors hams and a seam roll on my Christmas holiday to-do list! I was looking at another tutorial a while back and they suggested using wood shavings from a pet shop - they're sold in small-ish quantities for use as small animal bedding (guinea pigs, rabbits etc). I was going to give it a try myself :)neurulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050259622678438962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-47808772254959683082016-12-20T18:52:25.742+13:002016-12-20T18:52:25.742+13:00Great tutorial!

I had pet mice as a child, and I used to get smallish bags of sawdust for their cage from the pet store. Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332005629705275799noreply@blogger.com
