Directions:
• If your using scrap fabric for the stuffing -- Start by cutting the fabric into many small pieces.
• Fold the towels to where they are just shy of your desired size, forming the base to your pet bed.
Optional - You can also add a layer of scrap stuffing if wanted.
• Pin all layers together into an oval-like shape.
• Fold in the edges toward the base center and loosely sew into place.
• Add your padding to the sweater body (Cotton stuffing or fabric scraps) and sew into place using thick wool thread.
• Stuff the sleeves as well and shape themvaround the circular base.
• Finish off the bed by sewing and securing everything into place.
• You can decorate the bed to either match your home or make it as unique as your furry child! Anything's possible as well as a non-decorated beauty that'll amaze all of your animal loving friends!
