Dog Crate Covers

去年、イギリスへの犬の空輸のために犬小屋の中にしくマットを作りました。
ちゃちゃっと作ってしまったのでかわいくないし、この蝶柄のフランネル、蝶々の青いインクが洗濯のたびににじみ出て、1年もたたないのにみったくない姿になってしまいました。
なので新潮。
Old crate mat cover I made last year.
New cover!
When air-shipping the dogs became inevitable last year, I hastily made a dog crate mat using 2" thick high density foam and butterfly printed flannel. The blue dye on the butterfly bled out and the cover has become sad looking less than one year.

So I decided to make a new one. Well, 2, obviously. The main fabric is cotton/poly blend upholstery fabric. It was pricey (about $22 per meter), but it is really nice and thick, but soft to touch.


I lined the cover with Ripstop so that the water does not get to the foam easily. The foam itself is also covered with old sheet to make it easier to put it in and out of the cover.


This is actually perfect for a bench seat cushion...


I used duck canvas for the bottom.
