How to Find Pet Apparel Sewing Patterns

Some pets actually need some extra warmth, especially those rare breeds that have no fur or feathers to keep them warm like the Chinese Crested Hairless dogs or the Sphynx hairless cats. Making clothes from free pet apparel patterns will save you money and give you the chance to pick your own fabrics and styles.

In cold climates extra clothing is helpful to keep the chill off of young or old pets or those with short hair, health problems or those who simply feel uncomfortable in the cold. Choose apparel patterns that lend themselves to fleece or other warm materials.

Some people just enjoy dressing up their pets for fun. And certainly this can really get popular during holidays like Christmas, birthdays or Halloween.

Look for free pet apparel sewing patterns on the internet. You can find individual sites like the free resizeable dog coat pattern on 'Circle of Crafters' or try 'Gifts for Dog Lovers' for knitting patterns. And try 'Pampered Pets' for more pet materials to sew. The links to these sites are provided below.

You will need to know the right sizes for your pet apparel sewing patterns. For cats and dogs, take measurements around the chest and neck. Look for fleece or quilts for warmth and shop for fun textured fabrics for costumes. If your pet is likely to chew on things, be careful of the materials you use for buttons and other accessories.

There are lots of other items that can be sewn for pets from pet beds, to bird cage covers, to blankets and bandannas. For more detail on how to find pet apparel sewing patterns and more information on pet clothing, please check the Resources listed under this article.
