Sew dog coats, jackets, sweaters, shirts, booties, costumes, and more with this collection of over seventy free dog
clothes patterns & tutorials gathered from all over the web.
Sewing clothes for your dog can be a great way to recycle an old sweater, t-shirt, or sweatshirt. And since quite a
few of these designs call for working with knit fabrics or sweater knits, here are some tips for sewing knits: Use a
ballpoint needle in your sewing machine, which will slide between the fibers of your knit fabric instead of piercing
them. And use a special stretch stitch or a tiny zigzag stitch when sewing your knit fabric so that your seams will
stretch when the finished item is worn.
Reinforce seams that will be subject to lots of stress (such as where bands and tabs are attached) by sewing a
second row of stitching over or right next to the first row. And if an item is complex, or you’ll be making it from an
expensive fabric, you may want to make a “muslin” of the item first to be sure you get the fit right before sewing the
finished item.
And if you need to try the item on your dog before sewing your final seams, use safety-pins to hold your seams
together instead of straight pins, to be on the safe side.

Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: Pressing over pins isn’t usually recommended. But if you must press over pins, use flat-
head or no-head metal pins. They’re less likely to leave a permanent impression in your fabric and
won’t melt under the heat of an iron.
Tip #2: It’s important to use a sewing machine needle that’s appropriate for your thread. When
your needle and thread are well matched, your thread should pass smoothly through the eye of
your needle and fit snuggly into the needle’s groove.
