I want to thank Kassi over at Truly Lovely for allowing me to guest blog
this project last week. I got a lot of requests to do a repost ... so ... without
further ado ... here is the project from that previous post.

My ETSY Shop is new ... and it carries things for the home ... and
especially ... my puppies. Crate covers are my favorites.
I thought I'd experiment with a quick ... easy version of some of the
things I carry. This one isn't in the super soft MINKY I usually use ... but it's really comfy.

I'll be adding this Fleece Crate Cover next week ...
so I thought I'd share a quick DIY for you guys.
Materials Needed:
1 1/3 yard fleece Color 1
1/2 yard fleece Color 2
*** this is for a small 12" x 14" x 18" crate***
From Color 1
Piece A) Cut one piece 26" x 48" (sides and bottom)
Piece B) Cut one piece 20" x 20 " ( liner for front door)
From Color 2
Piece C) Cut one piece 52 " x 20 " (back, roof, and front door)
Piece A
At corners cut out 4" x 4 " squares as shown.
Fold under one long edge of Piece A for a 4" hem.
This will be the front of the cover.
This will be the front of the cover.
On the other 3 sides cut slits 2" wide and 4" deep.
Sew Piece B to front short end of Piece C.
Cut 4" x 4" square from corners on Piece C as shown ...
then fold under a 4" hem.
On the remaining 3 sides slits cut 2" wide and 4" deep.
Wrap Piece A around bottom and sides of crate.
Hemmed edge should butt up along front edge of crate.
Wrap Piece B/C across back/top/front.
Align the top and back of the two sections.
Tie the top section to the side section.
As you can see I also used the same tie method to make a pillow.
This is just only a short tutorial. I just gave you a thumb nail explanation.
It's is a quick project ... about 1 hour.
If you have any questions ... leave me a comment
... and I'll be happy to give you further directions.
Starting next week this crate cover will also be on my Etsy Shop.

Aw, how cozy! If my black lab could fit in there I know she'd love it on a cold night.
Thank you for linking up to the first "Cowgirl Up!" Linky Party!

I loved this idea!!! If I had a small little dog, I would SO get one of these!!! My dogs are too big for little crates... but I still think they'd love a cute pillow like that one! Thanks again for sharing this with our readers Becky!!! You're the best!!!
Those dog crate covers are too cute! What a neat idea. Thanks for stopping by my blog, http://jentifur.blogspot.com and the well wishes.
How much material would I need for a large dog crate? 36 Long, 23 Wide and 26 Tall?
Thanks!
