Sewing a dog bed is a fun and easy project that can be completed with a few simple steps. Here is a basic guide to sewing a dog bed:
Materials you will need:
- Fabric (amount depends on the size of the dog bed)
- Thread
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Pins
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
Steps:
- Measure the dimensions of the bed you want to make, and add a few extra inches to account for seam allowances.
- Cut two rectangular pieces of fabric according to your measurements.
- Place the two pieces of fabric together, right sides facing each other. Pin the edges together.
- Sew around the edges of the fabric, leaving a small gap (about 4-6 inches) unsewn.
- Turn the fabric right side out through the gap you left open.
- Stuff the bed with filling of your choice. You can use foam, polyester filling, or even old clothes or towels.
- Once the bed is stuffed to your desired level of fullness, hand-sew the gap closed.
- You can add any finishing touches you like, such as piping or a decorative trim.
Congratulations! You have now made a cozy and comfortable dog bed that your furry friend will love.

Select a fabric for your dog bed or pillow. One of our favorites is this paw print fabric because of the washability and durability of the fleece. Use a standard inexpensive bed pillow
