Fleece Puppy Bed with Tutorial

SO i went to Joann's and looked at McCall's patterns, and saw this.... BUT I didn't use the pattern, just stole the idea. I bought the fleece in the remnant bin, spending a total of 5 bucks on that and another 2 dollars on polyfill... The puppy just LOVES it. The best part is, she likes to chew on the "tags" on the sides, and then she grabs 'em and tries to pull her bed around. If anyone is interested, I will put up a tut on how i did it. First off, thanks so much for all the feedback!!

And now, it's the tut!! The concept is based on tied fleece blankets, so if you know how to do it, this will be super easy for you! First off, the supplies the center pin which i rotated around the measurement out from the center pin the final pin layout i cut along the pins to help keep it in a circle shape, then i unfolded it. the first cut yeah!

Keep your pooch cosy with this fetching dog waistcoat

This simple pattern is for a funky little waistcoat, and was featured on Circle of Crafters recently. As you can see from the picture it will make even the runtiest of pooches look adorable! You can download the pattern on C.O.C's website and they tell you how to resize the design to fit your own dog. For this waistcoat you will need: 1/2 yard fabric (If you want to use 2 different fabrics, to make a reversible vest, you will need 2 fat quarters, as a regular 1/4 yard of fabric would not be wide enough). One 1-1/4 inch strip of sew-on velcro (It's not recommended to use buttons or snaps, your pup would probably try to chew on them!) Full instructions and illustrations after the snip...

If you print the original pattern at 100%, it will fit a dog or puppy with a 12" chest. Leave the sides with the red X's open. 12 Collars of Christmas # 8 "Button Dog Scarf Crochet Pattern" 12 Collars of Christmas Collar # 8 "Button DogScarf" I realize this collar is not exactly a "decorative collar" but I thought this was a really fun idea.
