A small dog cannot do without its own wardrobe. And if decorative costumes can be dispensed with, the presence of functional clothing has already turned from a whim of the owners into a mandatory element of keeping an animal. Functional clothing includes items intended for autumn and winter walks, safety shoes, and sanitary panties for use at home.
Walking clothes are made from easy-to-care, washable fabrics. Autumn options are single-layer, designed to protect wool from dirt and slush. Winter clothes have an additional insulating layer and are in high demand among owners of smooth-haired and small breeds.

We cut a warm overall for a dog (video)
As a material for overalls, you can use not only fabric, but also natural leather, as well as sew them from old clothes that have not been worn for a long time. At the same time, the dog will look incredibly stylish and original. If the main goal is to prevent the animal from freezing, then it is better to resort to the use of more practical materials. The owner can sew not only a jumpsuit for her devoted friend, but also a suit, vest, various jackets, which will keep the dog warm. You can download the pattern on the Internet. After work on clothes is completed, it’s time to think about shoes.
An owner who takes care of his pet pays attention not only to the dog’s nutrition, exercise and health, but also strives to protect it from cold and rain, and also to dress it in accordance with fashion trends for pets. A brightly and tastefully dressed dog lifts the mood of both its owners and the people around them. And if the owner also masters the art of sewing, then the task becomes much easier. All you need to do is purchase the necessary fabric and find suitable clothing patterns for dogs - you can create your entire wardrobe with your own hands, from raincoats to festive dresses.
When choosing clothing patterns for dogs, you need to pay attention first of all to:
- Different dog breeds have different body proportions. For example, a Stafford and a poodle may be approximately the same size, but clothes sewn according to a pattern for a poodle will be too small in the chest for a Stafford. Therefore, clothes for pets are often made to order according to individual measurements.
- Don't forget that clothes for a dog should first and foremost be comfortable. Therefore, pay attention not only to the beauty of the clothing, because manufacturers primarily sew clothes, oddly enough, for the owners, in accordance with the fashion of the dog world.
You can also sew shoes for a dog, but it is worth noting that not all dogs immediately accept shoes on their paws. This may take time.
Raincoat
In rainy weather, a raincoat will come in handy in your dog's wardrobe. Made from waterproof fabric, the raincoat with a hood will protect your dog's fur from getting wet and dirty during a walk.

- We also sew lace along the entire edge of the cloak.
- We sew the hood and body, you can decorate it with applique.
- Add Velcro fasteners.
- The cloak is ready!
By reducing or enlarging the pattern, you can sew a raincoat for both the Yorkshire Terrier and the Great Dane.
Universal jumpsuit pattern
This overalls pattern is called universal because by making small adjustments, it is easy to form another pattern from it and your pet will have another wardrobe item - for example, a jacket.
- For sewing, you will need to measure the length of the back. It is removed from the base of the neck to the root of the tail.
- We divide the length of the back by 8 and get the side of the square of the dimensional grid on which the pattern is constructed.
- By changing the length and volume of the legs (when trying on), we adjust them to the parameters of your pet.
- Part 2 is a wedge that is sewn between the front legs with the narrow end.
Warm sweater
Next up is a warm jacket for the dog. Here is her pattern.
On the image:
- Edging for the bottom. Size 2*2.5 inches.
- Cuffs. Need 2 pieces, size 1.5*2.5 inches.
- Collar. Measures 7 inches high and should be as long as pattern.
- It is better to cut these parts from stretch.
- Fold the cuff and neck pieces in half and sew them together.
- The result is a part as in the photo.
- We bend the fabric of the main part in the middle and cut it according to this. We unfold it, make sure that the part is symmetrical and return it to its original position. Sew along the line in the second picture.
- Sew on the piping, cuffs and neckline.
Harness
A soft harness for a Chihuahua is one of the easiest to make.
- Using the pattern, we cut 4 pieces from denim, mesh, padding polyester or fleece and lining.
- We sew the applique to the mesh and denim.
- We sew all the parts together and trim the edge with bias tape.

Dog bed
In addition to clothes, you can also sew a comfortable bed for your pet.
1. We start by constructing a pattern. For dogs of different sizes, it is advisable to make the sleeping area larger or smaller.

If you haven’t had to sew for a dog before, then you can start with a T-shirt like this. There are only two parts, and it is not at all difficult to sew. But your dog will be smart!
To sew a T-shirt for your dog, you will need to take standard measurements using a measuring tape. Chest girth is the circumference at the widest point of your dog's chest. The neck circumference must be measured where the collar is located.
Length - the distance from the neck girth line to the base of the tail. Record all measurements. These are the main measurements. We will sew such a mischievous T-shirt for our pet.
I recommend using lightweight, stretchable fabrics to keep your dog comfortable and comfortable. You don't have to buy fabric at the store; your old T-shirt or turtleneck can be used. You will need two pieces for the dog tank top pattern: the back (left) and the front.
The center line is the length you measured on your dog. Sew the side and shoulder seams of the front and back. We make a hem for the bottom of our T-shirt.
To process the neckline and armholes, you can use binding made of the same material or stretch tape, which is sold in fabric stores.
