Make dog bed yourself

I have made our little darling a small dog bed from an old sweater himself and he liked it immediately.

Had seen something on the internet and thought, as our dog always follows us in every room, it would not be bad to have a small bed elsewhere.

Although he has a huge cuddly bed, and likes to lie down on our carpet under the sofa, but in the cot, he can now snuggle up something, which he always likes to do.


Have taken an old sweater, the upper head and neck part sewed, then I have pillows filling made of 2 decorative pillows and put them in both sleeves (it is also good foam).

Next you either take a blanket, or a slightly larger pillow 50/50 cm and put it in the middle part of the pullover and also sews the bottom of the sweater, so nothing can fall out or slip out.

At the end you sew both sleeves together and put them over each other, so the front looks better. Now just fold down the middle part a little bit, sew it backwards with a few stitches so that the lower part can not tilt forward anymore and you can not see the stitched seam. The two sleeves also attach something to the middle section with a few stitches. Unfortunately, I can not explain it better, but it looks good in the pictures as it should look like. I sewed by hand, with machine is much faster and is quite simple.

Of course, the cats are happy about it!
