Description

I saved up my scraps for a month or so, and made this darling bed for my dog! It fits perfect in this little alcove space in our bedroom so she can still be with us at night.

Material Notes

Older material that you’re not using, scraps from the overlocker and that are too thin or too little for other projects, vintage buttons and IKEA material

    What a spoilt little one! And she/he’s a staffy right? :) I might make one for my little staffy x back in Sydney with my parents.

    Thank you for the advice, but I don’t think even that would help – those two (they are quite large, even though they are both mixes) can chew through anything! :-) Besides, they love to snuggle at our feet. Maybe one day when I have a little tiny doggie just for myself, I’ll make him/her a special awesome bed like that.

    The idea is great and the bed looks awesome! The fourth picture “killed” me!!!!!! :-) She looks like she’s enjoying herself so much!!!! And your dog is such a cutie! Except in the third picture, where she looks like she says, “Don’t even get your paws on my new bed!” Unfortunately, my two “terminators” would chew it and shred it into even smaller scraps. ;-) But I still love the idea!

      Thanks darling! Industrial strength cover perhaps? That IKEA stuff is pretty tough, but maybe you need thick tent like material!
