Dog and-or cat beds
 

Made these two beds for our local humane society who needs blankets or beds for animals while they are at the shelter. Our guild has been making them for awhile and finally got two done. Think I saw a tutorial on Facebook or a free website, but they used a recycled sweater. Decided to use a sweatshirt because didn't want their nails to get caught. They were fun to make.

Great looking beds.

What a great idea!

Good looking beds.

I saw that free pattern somewhere but decided not to try because sweaters didn't make sense--like the sweatshirts though!

can you post a tute, you said it was easy, and i think othrs will like making one, go to Salvation army and get some sweatshirt to make them

What a great idea!

I saw this pattern too. I didn't think the sweater was a good idea because their nails would get hung. Using sweatshirts makes more sense.

Super. Would love to make some. I have a boat load of old sweatshirts I could use. Where was the pattern please?

As usual Peg, you did a great job. You will have to send me directions. LOL

Super idea and they look so soft. Please share the pattern or link with us.

Yes, I too would like to have the pattern, please. My brothers dogs need new beds and these would be perfect.

this is a good project. I would like to find that pattern also.

Awesome beds! I would love to make one. Can you please post the website for the pattern? Thank you for sharing a pic of your finished beds

Here is a tut I have used http://prettylittlethings.typepad.co...-or-kitty.html

Thanks for the compliments. Did go on line just typing making dog/cat beds from sweater and found several sites. Going to type a quick version of what I did in the tutorial section.

Thanks! .....

Scraps from the fleece sold at walmart would be good too. They could be multi colored.

Those are nice.

Thank you
I have to try to make one and yes I saw the tutorial you wrote in the other section. Thank you very much. great idea

Peg, these are ingenious and will be a place of warmth, comfort and safety for pets or rescues. When I am feeling better I will have to give them a try. Love the simplicity and usefulness!!!!

I, too, having just adopted a new little friend and am very interested in making one! I looked on line and found this helpful tutorial also!
