That is so cute and just too easy not to make. My cat will love it, I hope, so she will get out of my chair. I may try one for our dog, but I will have to work on making it bigger. Thanks for sharing.
To make the bed bigger and I have, for our Grand Puppies....90# Labs you just don't fold the fleece and cut the semi-circle....you buy the yardage and layer the fleece. It really isn't an exact science once you make them, its very forgiving it doesn't even have to be a perfect circle. Once you snip the edges and tie ~ it all comes 'together' no matter the shape. I would think you could even make it square. The snipped edges roll the edges inward once you start tying it. So this technique can be used for any size dog. |

Your yellow kitty made me laugh out loud this morning. He looks so proud of himself. Thanks for the link, I have 3 dogs and a step cat so I am going to try to make the beds for everybody.

Very Cute! Now tell me how to make them for a Great Dane and a Rottweiler!
I've made one for our friend who has a Rottie ~ her girl is really a stout big cattle ranch working dog. Just by the yardage, I think, if I remember I bought the widest fleece available 56" ~ layered two pieces ~ cut the circle with a quilt tape ruler the long tape I think it's 108". You can even join pieces easily as fleece is so forgiving. It's going to take a lot of poly fill to fill that big of bed. My girlfriend bought a 5# box of poly fill and we used nearly all of it, if I remember correctly. My friends Rottie is a cattle dog and I made a fleece coat for her Rottie and lined (stuffed between the layers) with the left over poly fiber fill. Because her dog goes out in sub-zero weather with my friend when it's calving time, she'd get so cold...now she won't even get out of the truck until my friend puts her coat on her. :0) |

Love the pics...but where do the big people get to sit?..looks like the best spots ate taken!!

Ah, the look of contented kitties! I reviewed the tut and by Jove, I've got it! My Scout kitty will be having a new bed soon.
Girlie Girl certainly has the look of the royals! She must be be a relative of my Scout. Same markings and always looks ready to wear her tiara. I shall put on my servant's garb and return to the sewing room to wait up the princess by creating a snugly little bed. |
Oh so comfy looking! I wonder if my cats would use a bed?
