Sewing Pattern Tutorial: Make a dog coat from a baby bib

March 4, 2011 by Anne Weaver

Erika Lindquist from Sew Doggy Style shares a tutorial at Dollar Store Crafts showing how she made a doggy coat from a baby bib and a grocery tote. (Obviously this only works for a smaller dog – or a really big bib.) This is such a cute idea! The fabric from the tote makes the lower portion of the doggy coat. If you don’t have a bag you want to cut into, you can always just use a fabric remnant for that part of the coat. Get the tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
