Sew A Pet Bed
Continued from Page 1

Directions

  • Fold the base pieces in quarters and gently press or mark the folds to use when assembling the pieces

  • Remove 1/2" of the cord from your piping. Butt the ends of the cord, fold over one raw edge from the covering where you removed the piping. Sew the edge of the cording so that it forms a circle. Be sure to keep the piping straight so that the cording is all on one edge and not twisted. Set aside.

  • Baste the interfacing to the smaller base piece, 3/4" from the edge. Trim the interfacing just outside the stitching.
    Trim the interfacing
  • Sew two rows of basting stitches on the otter edge of the larger base piece. Stitch less thatn 1/2" from the edge.

  • Pin wrong sides together, matching the fold lines. Gather the upper base to be the same size as the lower base.
    Match the folds to center one base on the other
  • Stitch using a 1/2" seam, leaving an area open to stuff the base.

  • Stuff the base, keeping the stuffing centered in the base as much as possible.
  • Finish sewing the edge closed. Set aside.

  • Sew two strips together to form a circle, using 1/2" seams. Repeat for the second set of strips.
