Alma dog bed /cat bed

With the Alma Dog Bed / Cat Bed pattern, you can sew a cozy retreat for your dog or cat in no time – just the way you like it. Whether cuddly soft with plush fabrics or stylishly matching your decor – you decide!

The pattern includes several sizes, so both small furry friends and larger dogs can comfortably fit. The rectangular shape with a practical opening at the front makes it easier for older or smaller dogs to get in. And best of all: Depending on the material chosen, the dog bed is washable and therefore easy to care for.
