DIY Dog Basket Bed

Sew this cozy dog bed! Determine the ideal size for the bed and use fabric chalk to draw the rectangle for the bed on a piece of fabric. Measure and chalk a rectangle along each edge of the bed to make the walls, cutting out a portion of one wall edge for the bed entrance. Cut out the plus-sign shape and cut out a matching shape from another piece of fabric. Cut a strap for each side of the bed walls, lay the decorative sides of the fabric together, and put one end of each strap between the fabrics on each side of each wall. Sew the edges of the fabrics together with the straps in place, leaving a hole at one spot, then turn the fabrics outright through the hole. Stuff the walls of the bed, sew the inside edge of the walls shut and stuff the center of the bed. Tie the straps so the bed walls are held upright.
