New Pooch Pillow

My dog Rachel needed to register a complaint...not about the food or the company or the weather, but about her sleeping arrangements or her "rug" as we call it.

Seems that the last time we had left for the weekend, she got lonely for us (put the phone down, we didn't leave her without someone taking care of her) and attempted to eat her "rug".  Can't really blame a dog for missing her family...

I had this fabric that I found at Hobby Lobby (I know my blog is starting to sound like a Hobby Lobby commercial, but that is my absolute favorite place to shop) for $2 a yard...I had bought 3 yards thinking I might make a scrub top.

I had this baffled down filled comforter that was very faded and had a few stains which I had put into my pet bedding box in the garage.  I save old towels and blankets for my cats beds during the winter.  Summertime they are on their own! 

Anyway, I folded this in quarters and zig-zagged around the edges.

I then made a pillowcase to fit the folded comforter, making it two inches longer than the comforter.

Across the inside of the pillowcase opening I sewed Velcro...that keeps it nice and snugly fit while the pooch relaxes!  It is very soft and comfy and Rachel seems to enjoy it!  And the best part is that it only cost $3!
