How To Make A Dog Bed Cover With Velcro

How to Make a Dog Bed Cover with Velcro

Step 1: Gather your materials

You will need: * Fabric (fleece, flannel, cotton, etc.) * Velcro * Scissors * Measuring tape or ruler * Sewing machine (optional)

Step 2: Measure your dog bed

Measure the length, width, and height of your dog bed. Add 2-3 inches to each measurement to allow for seam allowances.

Step 3: Cut the fabric

Cut two pieces of fabric according to the measurements you took in Step 2. The pieces should be identical.

Step 4: Cut the Velcro

Cut four pieces of Velcro to the length of the sides of your dog bed cover.

Step 5: Sew the Velcro to the fabric

Place the Velcro strips along the edges of one piece of fabric, leaving a gap of about 1 inch between the hook-and-loop sides. Sew the Velcro securely to the fabric.

Step 6: Attach the other piece of fabric

Place the second piece of fabric on top of the first piece, right sides together. Make sure the Velcro strips are aligned. Sew around the edges of the fabric, leaving a small opening for turning.

Step 7: Turn the cover right side out

Once you have sewn the cover, turn it right side out through the opening you left. Press the seams flat with an iron or a warm spoon.

Step 8: Close the opening

Hand-stitch the opening closed. You can use a slip stitch or any other invisible stitch to make the closure less noticeable.

Step 9: Enjoy your new dog bed cover!

Now you have a cozy and comfortable cover for your dog bed. The Velcro closure makes it easy to get on and off, and it will stay securely in place even when your dog is tossing and turning.
