That a really good idea Kris. My cousin runs a dog and cat rescue shelter and I have made dog coats but now this would be great for the cats. Light ones like this are great for our Brisbane summers. Even though cats like to snuggle up they don't need the warmth during summer. These would be ideal. Old cotton fabrics for summer and fur, polar fleece or flannelette for winter. Thanks for this one Kris.
So happy it is helpful! These are fun to make and super easy. There really are not "rules" and it helps animals, too. I want to make some bigger ones for dogs.
Great point about not overstuffing! I’ve always used tons of stuffing because I liked the look. You made me see it from my dogs perspective. Great ah-ha moment. Thank you!
Perfect pattern. Great way to up cycle fabric scaps I also use my old mattress cover top as a mattress for my dog, I cover it with ugly fabric as a duvet that I can remove and wash.
We are definitely kindred spirits! I was thinking about doing a pet series! Dog collar and leash... pet mat to protect where pup sits on the couch! ❤️ Love the video!
This tutorial is so good! I sew cat dolls and try my hardest to run a very eco-friendly and sustainable business, and part of that involves keeping all scrap fabric out of landfills. I save all my tiny scraps and today made my first scrap fabric bed! I found a local shelter to donate them to and I'm so happy. I made this bed in just a few minutes. It's a great tutorial. Thank you for sharing this!
I actually donate my scraps to a local shop owner who makes bet beds out of them. She uses donated upholstery fabric from a local awning shop among others. It’s a great way to give back to your community!
Awww! I love that! She was my parents' cat. She passed away last year. We miss her. Her name was Bella, but I liked to all her Porto-Bella because she was chubby. 🥰
Thanks so much, would love give time to the local shelter but how hard would that be :( This is a great alternative without the tears, just out of hospital so doing catch up 💖
@@SewtheDistancean unexpected stroke, taking things easy. Thankfully it hasn't left me with problems or weakness, I can still sew. Not a blood leak in brain, it is a lesion. Prayers much appreciated, your so lovely, Thank you 💖(blowing a kiss)
@@alisonmary1443 Oh no! I am happy to hear it wasn't too severe, but I am sorry to hear this happened. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Love to you!
I really enjoy your tutorials. Your voice is happy yet calming. You make it fun to watch. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! I read this to my husband and he rolled his eyes. 🤣
i guess after being married for nearly 30 years it was bound to happen. 😊
I made a small quilt for my cat, it fits perfectly in his favorite cardboard box!
I love that! What a great idea. ❤️
I made lots of shelter beds & rescue kennel quilts! Love that yOu have done this as well!
That is awesome! Thank you so much!

Love this , I have saved all my scraps in bags and can stuff it with those I think.
Perfect! I am so happy you love this one! ❤️

Yes! I made that mistake, too. I made a few pet beds and the pets hated them. Less stuffing seems to be the trick.

Oh, what a wonderful idea! Thank you for this!
I’ve done that too with the old mattress pad.
Cute. I aactually love that material and would use it to make a skirt!
That would have been a pretty skirt! ❤️
That is a cute Pet bed! Thank you for sharing!
Isn’t it? So easy and fun to make. Thank you!
So easy, thank you! My cat immediately fell asleep on it 5:49
Awww! So happy to hear that! Snoozing kitties are the best. ❤️
We are definitely kindred spirits! I was thinking about doing a pet series!

Love the video!
We must be! That would be so much fun! I would love to see the videos in that series. Feel free to make this bed, too. I don't mind.

That black and white cat looks just like mine.
Awww! I love that! She was my parents' cat. She passed away last year. We miss her. Her name was Bella, but I liked to all her Porto-Bella because she was chubby. 🥰

Oh no! Are you okay? Prayers and love for you, my friend. ❤️

You make this look so easy.
You have a Civil War quilt, but I can't find the video, please help me.
Oh, thank you! It's a fun project!
Here's a link to the Civil War Lessons from an Old Quilt: th-cam.com/video/5gOxrsHAGT8/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps!
When you wash these all the fabric screeches together. At least do some quilting to keep the fabric from clumping
I’ve never experienced this issue with these, but I can see how it could happen. Thanks!
