Pets, Sew / No-Sew Projects

Pet Proofed: Dog-Gone Cozy

I’m pretty proud of myself right now.  After months of procrastinating, I finally whipped up this dog bed with a removable, washable, zippered cover!

I tackled this project – with no pattern to guide me – and had it done in one hour.  At midnight, no less.

Charlie’s pretty pleased with it, even if it is accidentally a bit on the small side.  She’s glad that her old smelly bed in my bedroom has been ditched for something more exotic  – and let’s face it – clean and new.

Here’s the finished product, in all its faux-fur giraffe print glory:

I even sewed little corners on it!

And installed a zipper (my very first) on the bottom of the bed!  I’m super stoked to have made a pet bed that lets me remove the cover for washing.

Once again, it’s a solution that’s pet tested, owner approved.

      Sorry, I don’t have a pattern! I just sorta did it – on a whim!

    but never realised that the same principles could apply to a dog bed cover. maybe i could channel these instructions.
    will (eventually) try my hand at it after managing to finish my present half baked projects! 🙂

    Sweet! Thanks for sharing the link. I may have to make a duvet cover for my bedroom once I, too, finish my half-baked projects. Let me know how it goes!
