Keryn from Style Novice has created an easy to follow DIY Dog Coat tutorial that’s super simple and fun! Get started by measuring your pooch’s exact measurements to create a customized coat just for them.

For a rain coat style, you’ll need some vinyl material, including a lining color and a contrasting color for the outer edges. Also, you’ll need access to a sewing machine, matching thread, some velcro and cardstock to create a pattern.

Follow Keryn’s directions for exact instructions on how to properly measure your dog and how to translate that into a pattern.
Next, lie the pattern flat and cut out your fabrics to the exact shape and size.
Sew the lining and the outer side together, leaving a small side piece that’s open.
After you sew around each of the edges, you can turn the coat inside out.
The final steps require you to secure the velcro pieces into place. Let your dog try on the coat and find a space that’s just right to secure the velcro. And finally, that’s it, you’re done!

Talk about a simple and fun DIY project! If you’d like to make another style of coat, you can make plenty of variations with this tutorial by including different fabrics like faux leather or snakeskin for some unique texture! Or, add a zipper along the back for an easy way to secure the coat in place. Be sure to browse through our wide array of fabric options here at MJTrends for all your DIY project needs.
