Homemade Dog Clothes

What are the benefits of making homemade dog clothes?

Some advantages include lower cost, much greater control over fabrics and designs, and a custom fit that may be better than a commercial design.

On top of that there's the sense of satisfaction in seeing a well dressed dog wearing something you've made!

See here for our Free dog clothes pattern to make a dog shirt

Some Project Ideas:
  • For rainy weather, you can make a homemade dog coat out of waterproof fabric. See how to make a dog raincoat

  • For the cold, warm materials such as polyester fleece, fake sheepskin, down padding, or a woven blanket will work well to make dog clothes.

  • You may also choose to knit, crochet or weave a coat and then line it with a solid material to provide warmth. Make a homemade dog coat using some of these methods.

  • Homemade dog sweaters are another way to keep your dog warm on those wintry days. View Jo's free designs as well as the collection of free patterns for crocheted dog sweaters and knitted dog sweaters

  • Dog socks or leg warmers can be knitted or crocheted to help keep your pooch even warmer. They can also cover a bandage or let you show some team spirit for the sport of your choice!
