Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Crate cover? Any ideas on making a crate cover? Katie Scarlett has that Potty Training Puppy Apartment thingie....basically a wire metal crate like you can find at the pet stores. Her crate is in our sunroom, which is the room we basically live in. We just redecorated the room in an Alabama football theme for my dad. It's his man cave, which we have redubbed the fan cave. Lol. Anyways, although her crate is in a corner it's still a little bit of an eye sore but since she is pad trained, a necessity. So I was thinking I might could make a cover of some sort to make it look nicer. Something simple and not too frilly. Just basic really. I thought of doing like fabric panels that tie together but wasn't sure. So I thought I'd ask you guys if you had any ideas? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

| how funny... I am making a cover for my dd..she has the apartment for her Zhoe!! She picked out a shower curtain for the fabric, a lot less expensive then buying textile ! I am making a top... and sewing three panels on and leaving the front open. At least that is my plan now lol

You know how fussy our pups can be, especially when you mess with their stuff.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Love that one with the rolled part on the front but I'm not sure how KS would take to it. It's so cute though!!! Good thinking on the lighter fabric too. I know my KS is finicky when it comes to things like that.
