Materials Needed


Before diving into the sewing process, gather the following materials:

  • Black and white felt: These will be used for the dog’s eyes and nose.


  • Coordinating thread: Make sure to have thread that matches your chosen fabrics.


  • Ribbon or elastic: This will serve as the straps for the bag.


Step-by-Step Instructions


1. Cutting the Pieces


Start by preparing your fabric:




  • Body and Head: Cut a large piece (25×35 cm) of the main fabric according to the pattern to form the body and head of the dog.


  • Ears: Cut out four pieces of fabric for the ears.


  • Paws: Cut four pieces for the paws and consider adding little details for the paw pads if desired.


  • Details: Use black felt for the nose and eyes, and a small piece of white felt to add a sparkle to the eyes.


2. Assembling the Body


Now it’s time to bring your pieces together:




  • Body Construction: Fold the body fabric in half with the right sides facing each other and sew the sides to form the bag.


3. Adding Features


Make your bag come to life with those adorable features:




  • Ears and Paws: Place the ears and paws where indicated on your pattern and secure them by sewing them in place.


4. Facial Details


Now, let’s give your dog some personality:




  • Facial Assembly: Sew or glue the felt pieces for the eyes and nose, and don’t forget to stitch on a cute smile, if you wish!


5. Final Touches


With the features in place, it’s time to finish the bag:




  • Bow and Straps: Tie a cute bow under the dog’s head for an extra touch of charm. Attach the ribbon or elastic for the straps to complete your adorable creation.
