Sew A Pet Bed

Debbie Colgrove


	I love my cat but I don't enjoy having to find a lint brush every time I've sat down on my furniture. To my amazement, Skittles took immediately to her personal bed and it has drastically reduced my lint brush needs. The size shown here will also accommodate a small dog.

Materials

2 yards of 45" wide fabric

Stiff interfacing for bottom

Stuffing

59" of piping

Thread

14" circle template (An embroidery hoop works well for this and for fabric bowls)

Patterns for bottom of bed -- find pattern directions here

Cutting Directions

Cut one of each pattern piece from the fabric of your choice.

Cut one of the smaller base piece from heavy interfacing. The type used for fabric bowls worked wonderfully.

As of 01/09/06, Long Creek Mills still has an interfacing for fabric bowls and boxes for $1/yard, that works as well as the brand name. You have to call them to place an order. I have been very happy with the items I have received.

Cut four 10" by the width of the fabric strips
