My Chihuahua Mia made a hole in her bed about a week ago and little by little the stuffing is coming out. I am considering making one myself, but I not sure what type of fabric/stuffing would be ideal. I don’t know how to crochet but I do know how to sew. Any suggestions?

i would go into the fabric store, we have one here called JoAnns fabric, and ask the saleslady there. they know alot and i'm sure they could tell u just what to buy for stuffing

I make my own beds out of fleece. They are really easy and the dogs love them. I use about a yard of fleece and cut strips then tie them together. leave a small opening then stuff it with stuffing. they wash great and are so comfortable for the dogs. here is a picture.

Ok, thanks guys. I think I will try fleece. Toby'sMom what kind of stuffing did you use for your dog bed? Anything in particular?

I remember someone (may Have been Toby's mum) last year telling me how to make those fleece beds, but have to admit I never got round to it, but therey so easy I am sure.

I have a few sewing patterns to make gorgeous beds, but I dont have a sewing machine lol.

I knit or corchet my lot ones, and stuff em with an old pillow, or sometimes an old duvet, I have even bought pillows from the pound shop lol. My lot LOVE a wool blanket so I figured I would make a wool bed, and they love those too.

Oh and Mia's mum has such a FAB name

Janie is such an underrated name lol

(I am Janie too)

Thank you.

sorry it took so long to get back to ya. busy day!! I just use the poly-fil to stuff the beds. I use about one and half bags for one yard of material. I like them fluffy. I make these all the time to take to the shelter for their fund raising events. They work good and are quite durable.
