Sew A Pet Bed
Continued from Page 2
Debbie Colgrove

  • Sew two rows of basting stitches on the upper edge of each side piece.

  • Fold the piping and side pieces in quarters. Mark the quarter folds. Mark both edges of the side pieces. Gather one edge of the side to fit the piping, matching the marks.

  • Sew the piping to the edge of the side.

  • Gather the other side piece to fit the piping and sew right sides together.
    Attach other side piece
  • Apply a seam finish to the raw edge.
  • Turn the sides so the wrong sides are together. As you sew basting stitches, which join the raw edges, stop every 6-12" and stuff the tube. Keep the stuffing up at the piped seam as much as possible.

  • Sew a second row of basting stitches.
  • Place the raw edges of the side, on the flat side of the bottom. Match the fold lines on the base with the quarter marks on the sides. Gather the side to fit the edge of the bottom. Sew using a 1/2" seam. Apply a seam finish.
  • Turn the sides so they enclose the seam and are on the top side of the bed. Remove basting stitches which are holding the interfacing on the bottom, if desired.
