Small Pet Bed
 

I saw this on an email that my mother in law send to me. I decided to make a couple of these for my cats. It can also be big enough for a dog too. I took the biggest sweater I could find and did some sewing and stuffing. I used scraps of material and poly fill. Make sure you stuff the arms well so they can be stiff enough to stay up. My cats fight over them.

wow great idea, thanks. my cats would love them.

Thanks for sharing - that is a great idea

that is really adorable. what a great idea

Very pretty sweater and you are so creative.

Nifty idea!! That kitty is saying, "Enough already, it's naptime!"

what a neat idea, thanks for sharing!

Hi, that's really cute. Did you sew the body and the arms together? and did you stuff the body as well? I have a beagle, I think she would love to have one like that also. She has a couple of store bought beds, she likes them. But the minute I put any of my clothes on the bed, she is laying right on top of them, or makes them into a ball before she lays down.

What I did was, I sew from the arm pits of the sweater around the collar area to the other side of the armpit area and made sort of circle which includes the arms. I stuff from the arms all the way around the collar are and arms then stitch the arms at the wrist area. The I stuff the chest area of the sweater real good then I stitched the bottom of the sweater. With a big needle I sew the bottom and all around the chest of the sweater to the bottom of the arms. Which makes a nice circle when sewn together. Your beagle will love it. Use something you have worn. It will have your smell and she will be happy.

Thank you, I will look for the biggest sweater that I can find. May be a sweat shirt? I have some pretty big ones.

I love it.

I sw something similar somewhere in cyberspace. I want to make one for my minpin and my Mom's dog's. They all love to burrow and I thought they'd like this style.

Think I am heading for the thrift store today.

That looks like my favorite sweater I used to have in high school. Your cat looks very happy. I bet I could find a man's size sweater to accommodate my 24 lb cat, or one big enough to fit two cats together, as they tend to do that too.

That is so, so adorable. I'll have to make one for my kitty.

I found the sweater with Kittys on it for a $1.00 the cats fight over it. I made two. I also have a cat that is about 24 pounds and he fits in this pink on with no problem.

WOW...great idea....My little schnauzers would love it....

Thanks!!! This is a great idea my closet is cleaner and the batting and fabric scraps are used up. It also made the dog and cat happy.
