On a chilly winter’s night, every hound deserves to unwind in comfort and style. This project includes a padded dog bed, suitable for a medium-sized pooch, and a fetching outer garment. We used a quirky dog print by Ashley Wilde, but any canine-related design will do.
Stitch a dog bed
Cut out the fabric following the cutting guide. Fold the front panels in half lengthways. Download the front panel template. Pin the template to the top right corner so that the straight side edge lies over the fold and cut out. Repeat for the second front panel piece. Allow for a 1.5cm seam throughout. With right sides facing, pin the ends of the two inner sides to the inner back piece. Pin the front panel to the other ends. Machine stitch the seams, from the top.
Draw a 1.5cm square in each corner of the inner base, on the right side. With right sides facing, pin and tack the inner base to the front, back and sides. Check that the pattern lies in the right direction. The pressed back seam allowances should line up with the edges of the corner squares. With the side, front and back uppermost, stitch the two together, turning the fabric through 90? at each corner. Press the seam open.
Make up the outer bed in the same way, but leave a 40cm opening in the centre of the back s
