Free Dog Clothes Pattern:

| You will need to start with various measurements so that you have a fairly good fit. See the drawing and instructions at Dog Shirt Measurements You may want to copy and paste these and print them out, then write down the measurements with a pencil. Always take the measurements again. "Measure twice, cut once" as the saying goes. After you have verified your measurements, double check them to see if they make sense before you start cutting. For a picture of what the shirt pattern should look like, see Dog Shirt Pattern If this is your first time sewing a dog shirt, I suggest you create your pattern on newspaper first, then transfer it to an old sheet or pillowcase and cut it out. Next drape it on your dog and mark the seams. Take it off the dog and pin it along the seams, making sure none of them prick the dog. Finally try it on your dog again to see if it looks like it will be good fit. One important thing to remember: The legs and chest must not be so tight that it will be difficult for your dog to move, so make adjustments accordingly. If your pattern looks good, then pin it to the fabric you want to use, cut it out and sew the seams. |
