Snuggie for Dogs

Step 5 Attach Velcro Tabs

I'm so sorry I don't have a picture for this step!  I've tried to include image notes to explain the placement of the velcro along the back.  On one side, you'll sew the velcro to the fleece to extend the tabs beyond the edge.  On the other side will be the corresponding velcro pieces sewn onto the body of the snuggie itself.  I hope this is clear in the image notes!

Here is what your mostly-finished snuggie should look like -sleeves set in, and all hems finished. 

Next, take those tabs you cut out and sew them in half length-wise.  Then attach a piece of velcro to each of them, also lengthwise.  Space these out along the back edge (long sides) of the snuggie to act as closures, and sew on.  Sew the corresponding pieces of velcro to the opposite side of the snuggie so that when closed, the two edges will touch or slightly overlap.

To dress your pup in its new snuggie, place its paws through the sleeves and wrap the back around its back.  Velcro closed to secure!  The neck edge will fold down a little to create a cowl for added warmth.
