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.

In recent times, technology has proven to be more sophisticated and just like any other currency that can be stolen or lost, crypto and other digital assets has proven to be more difficult to recover but not impossible, and just like searching for any other monetary currency, you need a trustworthy and honest agency or personnel who can track and recover the value lost or stolen, in my case I hired recoveryhacker101@gmailcom, they followed the blockchain and was able to recover over 247kof my stolen funds within a couple of weeks. The fees for the services I received was fair and communication was excellent
I searched on Google for information about a crypto asset brokerage firm and the top result was a sponsored link leading to a website with the web address mantao . network. Upon entering the website and clicking within the page, the website attempted to connect my crypto wallet and I was naive to approve the request to connect. I had 2.5 BTC which I had saved for some time and my plan was to make profits through a good brokerage organization and within seconds of approving the request, they were all drained. I confirmed again through the mobile application and for sure my balance was 0. I panicked and immediately reached out to my workmate who also deals crypto, explained what happened to me. He took it lightly and told me not to worry since he knew a guy who helps in such phishing attacks. He introduce me to Recovery Hacker101 and told me to explain the events and to attach the malicious sponsored link. The guy I talked to immediately noticed that the link was run by an imposter purporting to be manta . network, which is actually a legit site. After a few hours, he applied his knowledge and reversed my btc to my wallet. His name is Recovery Hacker101 and his email address is recoveryhacker101@gmail.com
Finally i am so happy i found this honest, recommended and reliable hacker, before now I have been ripped off by fakes who claimed to be professional hackers until i came by “RecoveryHacker101” a legit hacker across the internet who helped spy on my fiancee phone to save my dying relationship exposing chat evidences on my spouse cheating with friend. being ripped off. I appreciate the good hack services RecoveryHacker101 provides, does all sorts of cyber hacks like phone spy monitoring calls, sms, Whatsapp, Viber, Instagram, Kik, Hangout, Snapchat, Facebook it will be done fast honest and reliable i promise will provide result always and won’t expose your confidential data to anyone. The only Ethical hacker i guarantee to talk about employ instead of being victims the expertise as world class, also helped recover all the funds i was ripped off. You can reach him via recoveryhacker101@gmail.com
