Dog bed
23/08/09
Gus' bed was starting to look very bad. In fact, we have had it since he was a puppy, he will be two in November. His round bed has been chewed as well, and even if it has been washed, it just is not the same any more. Dog beds are also expensive, and often not made in fabrics that I like. When I was visiting my sister and her new dash hound puppy Sissi, I noticed her dog bed was similar to some IKEA carpets I have in my "stash of fabrics I want to do something with one day".
But my dog is LARGE, so I had to piece four of these small carpets together.
These Ikea area rugs were about $3 each and I used and a zipper I had on hand. I also used a 1" foam insert, (not shown here).
And here is the happy Gus (he is smiling, it just does not show well) on his new bed.
