	Variation on small pet bed to sew a large pet bed Debbie Colgrove

Materials:

Materials are almost the same as for small pet bed

This large pet bed will require 5 yards of fabric.

5 -- 20 oz. bags of stuffing. The fabric shown here is from Fabric.com's animal prints category

Enough thick interfacing for two floor base pieces. If your interfacing is not wide enough, but the edges and zig zag the joint.

Pattern Variations to create the large pet bed pattern:

Make the small pet bed pattern

Using the Inner Base of Pet Bed (Pillow) pattern piece

Add 3" to both sides on a folded paper the same way you did to make the original pillow base. This creates the large floor base

Add 2" on each folded side to create the large floor pillow base, the same way you did the other pieces, usiong a paper folded in quarters.

Cutting Variations to create the large pet bed pattern:

Cut 3 of the floor base

Cut 6 -- 15" strips for the sides. Use three sections for each side section

Use a 90" piece of piping on the upper edge of the sides.

Assemble Variations --
Assembly almost the same as the small pet bed

Rather than fight the lagre stuffed pillow being attached to the side pillow, join two floor pieces with interfacing to the side pillow, in the same manner you would join the pillow base on the small pet bed. I found it easier to machine sew after hand basting, using button and carpet thread, about an inch from the edge. This held the stuffing back from the sewing area. hand baste the flat floor base to the sides 1 inch in from the edge

hand baste the flat floor base to the sides 1 inch in from the edge

Assemble the pillow as shown in the small pet bed, rather than attach it to the sides, finish the seam or enclose the seam allowance with double fold bias tape. Push the pillow into the bed. This also allows the pillow to be removed for washing.
