My little puppy at home was in need of a new cushion for her kennel. Her old cushion was not very soft anymore and it was time for an upgrade. With a little fleece and an old pillow I was able to create a great new puppy bed for her kennel.

Step 1: Supplies

Here is what I used to create the puppy bed.

Fleece - about 3/4 yard of blue and 3/4 yard of grey fabric

A pillow - I used one of our old pillows

Polyfill - For side filling

Scissors

Sewing Machine

Step 2: Cut and Sew

Start by cutting the fabric to the size you want the bed to be.

My fabric was at a good size already and matched pretty well so I moved straight to sewing.

After the fabric is a good size start sewing. I sewed three of the four sides closed. I left one of the longer sides open.

Once the three sides are sewn together, flip the fabric right side out.

Step 3: Sew the Sides

Next I wanted to add some sides that I could fold up for puppy. To make these sides I sewed a seam about 6" in on either side of the bed.

This seam separated the two ends of the bed from the rest.

Step 4: Stuff

Once the sewing is complete it is time to stuff the bed.

In the middle section of the bed I was easily able to slide in an old pillow to stuff the body of the bed.

Polyfill was used to stuff each of the side of the bed.

Step 5: Sew Closed

The final step is to sew the last edge closed.

While some people may choose to create a nice seam and hand stitch the side closed, I chose to fold the extra fabric over and sew it all closed. I was less concerned about the look and wanted it to be a little more of a sturdy seam. It ended up working out very well and closed the bed nicely.
