Pig Coat Pattern

I somehow stumbled across Esther The Wonder Pig's Fan Page not long ago, and I loved her story! And I enjoy looking at her photos every day, well in one of the photos I saw Esther out it the snow and I instantly thought that she needed a coat. This is my first Pig Coat I have ever made...here is pretty Esther wearing her coat. I'm so happy that it fit her, I had a lot of fun making it!

And I wrote up the pattern for everyone to enjoy!
