love it ... love it ...love it... how did you make it?

Thank you all so much. It is a very easy and fun bed to make. Not a bit difficult. I don't have a pattern. None needed to make this. Just cut two of these either in the same print or mix them. Then cut 8 strips of material for the bows, 8" long and 1 inch wide. Sew them together with right sides together leaving an opening at one end, turn right side out, iron then stitch close to the edge all the way around. I drew what it would look like untied and laid flat. I just took the material and measured out the size bed I wanted to make and cut it out. You could make your own pattern first by drawing and cutting out on packing paper from UPS or maybe brown paper bags cut and laid flat and maybe tape a couple together.
I'm going to Wal-Mart in a few minutes to see what kind of material they have to make a few more. I'm thinking a lightly quilted fabric would be really cute. Well I'm on a roll.

PANAMA69, I'll see you, your hubby and both your babies at my house for play date Monday. They can try out the bed.

Cool... U did a good job... Looks just like the pic u had the other day....

Wow! What a great job you did on that bed! I just love the added touch of the bows. I can totally understand how Azrael and Zada don't wanna share, after all any self-respecting li'l Yorkie needs to spread out when taking a snooze.

By the way, I love your babies' names. How did you come up with them?

Thank you so much.
Their names were taken from a book on angels.

What I like best is you can un-tie it to wash and have a better chance of getting most of the kitty fur out.

I love that Milo doen't have fur, it's the excuse I give the cats for not being able to sleep up by my head. But really--- don't tell them, I'd let him anyway.
