Wrap around Dog Sweater, for Small Dogs

I’m sharing today how to make a sweater that will be soft and warm for your dog. After you are done with this project you will have a unique sweater for your small dog.

Step One: Make a pattern. (I will give you the dimensions I used for my pattern later, in the tutorial)

Step Two: Cut around the pattern in scrap fabric, then hold it on the dog and pinch the fabric at the arms. (This step is not necessary but it helps, a lot so you don’t have to start all over if you mess up.)

 

Step Three: If it is a fantastic fit, you can cut it out of the fabric you want to use. 

Step Four: Fold the arms in half and sew along the edge.

Step Five: Once you have the arms sewn, put it on the dog and wrap one bottom corner up to where you want it. Then put a button on the body side of the sweater, where you need it to be. Then cut a small hole with your scissors directly across from the button or use a button-hole maker on a sewing mashing.

Now you have a lovely sweater for your dog. I used an old shirt as the fabric. You can use anything you want though. I hope it turns out well for you.

Here is the approximate dimensions I used for the pattern. Of course, you may have to change it a little for your dog.

Dimensions:

Bottom= 9 ½ inches

Side of body= 5 inches

Sleeves (on the curve)=9 inches

Top=11 inches

Curve outward toward arm=9 inches

     I have included pictures to show the dimensions too, between the pictures and the wording I hope you can figure the pattern out. Remember that it never turns out perfect the first time. So just have fun, the dog will most likely love it as long as it’s warm, I know our dogs would.

 I hope you can make your own pattern from the information I have provided. This is the  pattern that inspired me to make this. 

In some words in the photos of the dimensions above are spelled wrong (I have dyslexia Coupled with I am just not very good at spelling)...sorry for my misspellings hope you can make them out about that I am sure that a few other of my posts are like that.

Poem Outline

I had to do this for my school. It is words taken out of a poem. I made a short basic outline of the poem. I had to fit in a which or because and a  (LY) word. Which is why the which and longingly is underlined.

Oh why is the mortal here which is so proud?

 My swift meteor rests on a cloud.

Lighting I see is like a wave of light.

The king’s hand will carry a sceptre until his death.

The brow of the Priest will have the sweat worn on it.

If you look into the longingly eyes of the sage you will see bravery.

When death arrives you will be lost in your grave.
