Super easy ~ wonderful cat or dog bed tutorial
#21
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.

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)

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.
