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.
