[Dailydrool] Dog beds without zippers

[Mary Wilson]

Hi all,

When Paddi B was a puppy, I made her a bed. It's actually an old pillow
(regular bed sized) and I made a cover for it from an old couch throw.

I have never had luck installing zippers, so I made the cover without. What
I did was:
1. Cut one rectangle of fabric slightly larger than the pillow.
2. Cut another rectangle the same width as the pillow, and about a foot
longer.
3. Cut the longer rectangle in half, and hem the cut edges.
4. Place the uncut rectangle good side up on the floor/table
5. Place the first of the cut pieces, good side down, on top of the
full-size piece, lining it up at the end.
6. Place the second of the cut pieces, good side down, on top of the
full-size piece, lining it up at the other end.
7. Sew around the outside of the rectangle. Just zoom right on over the
short pieces.
8. Turn the resulting object right side out.

The pillow slips right inside, Paddi at least never removed it and it's
super-easy to take the cover off. I think a lot of pillow shams are made
this way, so if my instructions are completely incomprehensible, look at a
pillow sham!

Mary, and Paddi B, who still likes her pillow. And Vern likes his, too.
