This article will contain the pattern andrecommendations for sewing a round bed. It is ideal for those dogs that like to sleep curled up in a ball. Yorkies, toy terriers or Chinese crested dogs often do this. If your little friend likes to sleep with his paws stretched out, then it is better to opt for a different bed model. So, in order to make a round bed, you first need to decide on its future size. On the drawing, you need to build an oval or circle of such a size that your dog can easily fit in it. Around the resulting bottom of our bed, you need to build a circle that will act as a side. When doing these manipulations, you need to take into account two things. The size of the bottom should correspond to the size of an adult individual of the breed for which the bed is being made. Based on these considerations, you need to decide on the height of the sides, here you should also take into account the character of the dog: will it be active and restless or a lover of napping.
Next, you need to fold the selected material face upinside and transfer the finished pattern to it. Leave seam allowances of 1 cm. Stitch a seam along the perimeter of the bottom, which can be left uninsulated since it is better to sew the round pillow separately. Stitch a second seam, which will be located at a distance of 6 cm from the edge of your pattern. Leave a gap of 10-15 cm unsewn in order to stuff the side with filler. And then stitch this area. Another solution for making a side can be to use separate pillows. With their help, the side of the bed will have a more lush look. To do this, you need to stitch the seams - rays from the bottom to the edge, not reaching it by about 6 cm, as shown in the pattern. All compartments are filled separately and then a line is stitched 6 cm from the edge of the pattern along the entire perimeter.
At the end of the work, you need to close the cut along the edge.the bed with a piping seam, leaving an opening for a cord or elastic band. Tighten everything with an elastic band or cord. In this simple way, you have a round or oval bed for your beloved four-legged friend.
