Tutorial: DIY Quilted Dog Bed
Are you tired of your furry friend hogging the bed at night? Why not make them their very own cozy spot with a DIY quilted dog bed! Not only will your pup love it, but you'll also have a fun project to work on. Let's dive into this pawsitively adorable tutorial! This tutorial offers options for 3 bed sizes - Small (14" x 18"), Medium (22" x 38"), and Large (30" x 38"). I made the large size for our boxer and it gives him lots of wiggle room!
What You'll Need:
First things first, gather your materials. You'll need fabric scraps, foam filling for extra fluffiness, a sewing machine (this is the one I use), and of course, some treats for motivation (for you, not the dog).
Fabric Requirements (Large Dog Bed):
- (20) 8" x 8" scraps of fabric (6" x 6" for medium bed, 4" x 4" for small bed)
- Backing fabric (Large - 42" x 48, Medium - 34" x 40", Small - 26" x 30")
- foam filling - 6" thick, this roll can be used in all 3 size options
- Batting scraps
Supplies:
Step 1: Measure Twice, Cut Once!
Measure and cut your fabric in to squares for your desired size. Piece backing (if size requires) and cut 2 batting sections - one to match the quilted top and one to match the backing (bottom/sides of bed). Remember, it's always better to have too much fabric than not enough. You want your dog to have plenty of room to stretch out and snooze in style.
Step 2: Time to Quilt!
Baste your pieced quilt top and batting together, then baste your backing fabric (what will be the bottom and sides of the dog bed) and a separate section of batting together. Use your hera marker and ruler to mark a quilting design (I did a 3" grid"). Quilt as desired.
Step 3: Cutting Corners and Sewing Together
Once you're done quilting, it's time to cut our corners. Take a square ruler and mark a 4.5" square in each corner. Cut out the square and clip edges right sides together (as shown in photo). Sew the edges together.
Next, use the clips to secure the pieced quilt top to the bottom section - this is where the clips will make your life so much easier!! Align the corners first, then clip the sides. Sew together, leaving one of the smaller sides open so you can turn the bed inside out and stuff it with the foam. This is where things might get a little ruff, but don't worry, you've got this!
Step 4: Fluff it Up!
Cut your foam roll to desired size. Stuff the foam into the bed - this will take some maneuvering, but you can do it! After stuffing your bed to the desired fluffiness, sew up the opening. I had to hand stitch the opening closed because it was too difficult to maneuver the stuffed bed into my machine. I used an invisible stitch (also called a "Ladder Stitch") to close the gap. If making the medium or small bed size it will be much easier to use your machine to close the gap.
Step 5: Let Your Pup Enjoy!
Voilà! Your DIY quilted dog bed is ready for its grand debut. Place it in your pup's favorite spot and watch as they curl up in comfort. You'll feel like a DIY pro and your dog will be forever grateful for their new cozy retreat.
The Final Stretch: Finishing Touches
After all the hard work and creativity you've poured into this project, it's time to add the finishing touches. Make sure all edges are secure and tidy, and give the dog bed a final once-over to ensure it's ready for your pup to enjoy. Place it in your dog's favorite spot and watch them snuggle up in their new, handmade bed.
Wasn’t that easy?!

I was a victim of a romance scam, whereby I got scammed of $130,000. I signed up to a dating app, I matched with a lady who works for the USA army, we started dating cause she was so loving, caring and beautiful, she approached me first, during this time I had already fell for her, so we started dating, after some weeks she told me she had been sent to an Afghanistan for peace keeping, on getting there, she told me she had misplaced her debit, I felt bad for her, she asked for my help with money, I was so in love I didn’t think it over I sent her some cash to eat, after that she asked help for her daughter who was in the hospital, I sent that too. To cut the long story short, she asked for my help a lot of times and I kept helping cause I really cared about her, this happened for about 6 months, I was getting tired of waiting so I told her, that was when she told me she would come over but first she has to pay some money, I so want to meet with her so I made a wire transfer, that was the very last time I heard from her, it was then I got to realized I had been scammed of about $130,000. The good news is that recoveryhacker101@GMAILCOM recovered my money and also gave me all his details we used to arrest him.
