Now no one doubts the need for such things, because modern clothing for pets is, first of all, comfort and the performance of certain functions - protecting the animal from frost, wind, moisture, dirt, dust, ticks and burrs and, of course, the sun rays.

1. Measure the length of the dog’s back (from the collar to the root of the tail) - points (Z-K);
2. Divide this length by 8 (example: 40 cm: 8 = 5 cm) - we get the side of one cell in cm (mm);
3. Draw a sheet of paper into cells with the corresponding side, according to the diagram;
4. Mark “control points (crosses);
5. Connect them together;
6. We cut out two such parts (M-F-Z-K-D-I-L-G-B-N); Attention! On the top side of the overalls (Z-A-B-K) add 3 cm.
7. Next, we cut out two parts - (F-B-N-M) and two parts - (G-D-I-L). These will be the inside of the trouser legs. We sew each of the halves of the pattern with the inner sides of the trouser legs;
8. Next, measure the volume of the chest - (B-D) and the volume of the "waist" - (A-B);
9. Subtract the difference in these places between the real volumes of the dog and the flat image;
10. This difference is the width of the insert on the belly (between the two halves of the overalls)

11. Assembling the overalls into a single whole. We grind the insert in several steps:

3:149

a. We start with the neck. We extend it to the armpit (the end of the front leg) and, having secured it, break the thread.
b. We begin to sew the “underbelly”, add it to the groin (the beginning of the back leg), fasten and break the thread.
c. We begin to stitch the insert to the back leg to its middle (for bitches).

d. For male dogs, cut out the fly on the insert. The insert itself is longer than for bitches. Sewn from the neck to the tail hole (D-G-B-G). A dart is made on the belly side to ensure a tight fit of the overalls on the belly. The fly is finished with bias tape. (You can insert an elastic band, but it will be more rough. If you insert an elastic band, you do not need to make a dart).
12. Sew in a zipper. It can be detachable, or it can be one-piece.
13. Next, we trim the tail part of the overalls with bias tape, having previously made darts according to the figure, or you can do it without darts - with an elastic band inserted inside the tape.
14. We finish the neck part like the tail part. You can do a stand. On one side we make a loop, on the other we sew a button. You can sew on Velcro, you can insert a cord-tie.
15. We hem the trouser legs according to the dog’s height. We insert the elastic bands down. Attention! There should be a slight slouch at the bottom of the shalwar style pants to allow the dog to move comfortably!
16. The overalls are ready.

Dogs are not just pets, they are man's best and most loyal friends. And people in return give their pets endless love and care. On cold and dank days, a person puts on comfortable, warm and waterproof clothes. Dogs, no less than people, need protection from weather hazards: wind, frost and heat. Dog clothing is not a whim of the owners, but a seasonal necessity. With the help of dog clothing patterns, creating beautiful, warm clothes for your pet becomes a very convenient and enjoyable experience.

No one doubts that four-legged pets need clothing just like people. What kind of clothing is needed for small breed dogs? After all, unlike yard dogs, small dogs are not adapted to survive in difficult weather conditions.

There are some peculiarities in the body structure of small breed dogs: they have a narrow neck and shorter paws. What your little pet may need:

• warm clothes: overalls or jacket;
• water-repellent clothing: blankets, coats, summer raincoats;
• panties;
• headdress: cap or hat.
• footwear: boots, boots.

Nowadays, purchasing beautiful and comfortable clothes for your dog is not a problem. Many manufacturers produce such clothes. But clothes knitted or made with your own hands for your beloved pet are warmer, more comfortable and more beautiful, because when making them you put your love into them.

So, you finally decided to sew clothes for your pet yourself, rather than buying expensive and faceless dog clothes in the store. It’s wonderful, because hand-sewn clothes will make your four-legged friend individual, and your little pet will definitely appreciate such care for him. How to sew clothes for a dog using patterns?

The quality of the pattern made and the subsequent production of clothes for small dogs will depend on how correctly you took your pet’s measurements.

Small dogs should be measured as follows:

• first of all, we measure the length of the pet (along the back) from the withers to the tail;
• then we measure the height of the paws from the floor to the dog’s sternum;
• then you need to measure the dog’s belly;
• Next, measure the length from the dog’s neck to its groin (this size will depend on the gender of the pet);
• The last thing to measure is the animal’s body and its circumference.

The measurements have been taken, the next stage will be making patterns and sewing clothes. The process of creating patterns and modeling clothes is very important. This will require considerable perseverance and attention. You can look for diagrams and patterns in this article. Below you will find what you need. The article contains not only photos, master classes, but also a video on how to sew clothes for small dogs.

2) Clothes for Yorkies:

3) Pattern of shoes for toy terriers:

If transferring the made pattern directly onto the fabric should not cause any particular difficulties, then the choice of material from which you will create clothes for your pet should be taken very seriously.

The choice of fabric for sewing clothes for a pet depends on seasonality. It must be remembered that summer is diametrically opposed to winter. For winter clothes, it is better to choose warmer materials; it would be useful to use insulation (sintepon).

Spring and autumn clothing should be waterproof and repel dirt well.

Remember, tailoring clothes for dogs is impossible without high-quality accessories: buttons, zippers, Velcro, hooks and fasteners. The fittings must be strong and beautiful.

Warm boots

These wonderful, incredibly warm boots are very suitable for such a breed of small dogs as the Chinese Crested. They will perfectly protect her delicate paws from cold snow and sharp pieces of ice. In addition, the soles of dogs very often suffer from chemicals sprinkled by people during icy conditions. And in cloudy weather with light rain, they will be simply irreplaceable.

So:

1. We take measurements: place the pet’s leg on paper and trace it along the contour. You should get a small oval - this is the sole;
2. Now you need to measure the height of the boots: it can be different, it is better to focus on the hock joint (the Velcro will be under it);
3. We determine the width of the boot, it is equal to the length of the sole (oval). On it we mark the places to which Velcro will be sewn;
4. Don't forget to leave a seam allowance (1 cm is enough);
5. Material: for the sole you need to take a denser fabric, or preferably leather (can be artificial). The boot should be made of water-repellent fabric. Inside the boot you need to place insulation (fleece).

You can easily and simply sew a dress for your dog with your own hands.

It would seem, why the hell do you need a dress for a dog? It’s the same as asking: “What the hell is a goat’s button accordion?” But it happened to us

such a story.

That year, my beloved dog Lyalechka went to stay with a friend while I was away. If you want, read about it

She didn’t want to comb herself (and her fur is long and fluffy), she picked up tangles and matted like a felt boot. I had to go to a specialist and have her done

In the same year, the month of May turned out to be very hot and, in order to make life easier for my pet, I took her to

There we were cleaned, washed, cut and shaved, but after two weeks it got sharply cold. But there is no fur! I had to find Lyalechka an old children’s T-shirt.

But we are ladies, we want to always be beautiful. I went to the “Cat House” to buy a summer outfit. What local craftswomen haven’t sewn there! And knitwear, and “cheerful” cotton fabric, in frills and frills! Beauty! And the cheapest dress cost 1000 rubles. I looked at everything, both flower and polka dot, and was about to rush to the cash register, but then something stopped me. Should I sew a dress for my dog ​​with my own hands? And with this thousand, how many different bones and treats for pets can you buy! This is what real happiness is for them!

I collected some gifts, made my “girls” happy and got to work on the dress.

I decided to make the top of the dress from a T-shirt, and make the skirt like this:

We take a piece of fabric (I have an old blouse made of gauze), measure the dog’s waist and lay out this value with seam allowances on the fabric:

We measure the size from the waist to the tail and lower the perpendicular down in the center:

Fold the fabric in half and connect the waist and skirt length points with a smooth line:

Cut out what you have connected:

If you want a fuller skirt, you can double the waist size and then gather it in at the waist. But I decided to do this - everything will be easier:

Now let's make ruffles. I found a thin elastic band in my stash, which I used:

You wind the elastic band onto the bobbin, slightly loosen the screw in the shuttle and everything goes like clockwork!

If you don’t have such an elastic band, you will have to type it manually or make flounces, like our relative from Moscow:

And this is what I got:

The ruffles should be sewn on, and the edges should be trimmed with bias tape:

Let's move on to the bodice of the dress. As I said earlier, I have this children’s T-shirt (the front goes to the back of the dog):

the bottom of which needs to be slightly cut off:

and make a dart from the middle of the bottom to the neckline:

We sew the skirt and bodice of the dress along the wrong side:

And from the cut-off part of the T-shirt we make a belt:

And we attach it along the front side of the dress at the waist:

And this is the view from the back, from the belly:

We made a dress for the dog from what we had, and now the first fitting:

And if so?

If you would like to make such a cylinder hat, please

I quickly sewed a dress for Lyalechka, but Businka only had to try it on, so I’ll have to try for her too - it’ll be a little too big.

Today fashionistas and fashionistas are found not only among people, but also among animals. This is especially true for dogs, for which recently many housewives and needlewomen are sewing more and more fashionable clothes. DIY clothes. Clothes for dogs are not only practical, but also beautiful overalls and other products that not only protect the pet from weather troubles, but also emphasize the style and taste of its owner.

Today it is not a problem to choose and purchase interesting knitted or knitted clothes for your dog, especially since many manufacturers produce them. Recently, there has even been serious competition between them. But clothes for dogs, sewn or knitted by yourself, will always be more comfortable, warmer and more beautiful than store-bought ones!

Particularly popular are small, so-called “pocket” dogs, which you can easily take with you.

Clothing specifically for these breeds is in demand. At the same time, it cannot be said that there is a clear pattern between the style and comfort of clothing for a pet - dog owners can sew high-quality and beautiful clothes even for every day, but as a rule, the dog does not really like too frequent changes in its wardrobe - it gets used to a comfortable blanket or a warm jumpsuit and waits for the owner to put this particular thing on her, saturated with the “native” smell.

Dog's wardrobe usually includes many things. For boys, as a rule, they create overalls and sets of a jacket and pants, for girls - overalls and dresses or skirts. In addition, the already familiar overalls and blankets for dogs are especially popular. In order for you to understand more clearly how to create clothes for dogs with your own hands, we have prepared master classes for you with a detailed description of the stages of work and corresponding patterns.

The choice of fashionable clothes for dogs, like the choice of fashionable clothes for people, is amazing in its diversity. However, dog tailors tend to use several standard patterns. Each pattern is made according to the parameters of a specific animal. For example, when creating a jumpsuit for a dog with your own hands, it is important to know the length of the animal’s back - the distance from the collar to the tail. You also need a chest depth equal to the distance between the ribs and the dog's front legs. After this, based on the standard design of the overalls, a model is made for a specific animal. Using simple calculations, the size of each square needed to construct the final pattern is calculated.

Already in the process of fitting The parts that will be placed on the paws are adjusted. For example, the elastic is tightened to the appropriate size. Don’t forget about the dog’s genitals and its tail – there should be appropriate processed cutouts for them. Then the overalls can be decorated, for example, with a belt or an original edging of the openings.

The same pattern is suitable for knitting a blanket for a pet with your own hands, but you should take into account the ability of knitted items to stretch.

When choosing a material for sewing clothes for a dog, you should give preference to a waterproof top, for example, raincoat fabric, and a warm inner layer, for example, knitwear or flannel.

In sultry frosts, people keep warm with warm clothes. Bad weather also causes discomfort for dogs; it is especially difficult in winter for certain breeds that are not accustomed to the harsh climate. Clothes for dogs can be made with your own hands using the patterns presented, and they are designed not only to warm your four-legged friend, but also to dress them up, providing an original and fashionable wardrobe.

How to properly measure a dog

To ensure that the clothing meets the required parameters, fits the dog perfectly and does not cause discomfort, it is important to take measurements correctly.

1. It is better to take measurements from a dog when it is standing, fully resting on its paws.
2. To measure the neck, a rope is tied around it. This determines the length from the beginning of the neck to the end of the body. This line corresponds to the dimensions of the free collar.
3. The back is measured in the center. The actual size corresponds to the distance from the withers to the base of the tail. The tail is raised or in a standing state. It is better to position the pet so that the owner can see the side.

   The dog should stand straight, not hunched over, or lower its head.

4. The chest volume is measured behind the front legs. There is the widest part of the animal’s body (including cats).
5. The overall waist circumference of girls is measured in front of the hind legs. For boys, this is the area in front of the genitals.
6. The distance between the paws is determined by measuring the length from the front paw to the hind thigh. The dog should stand sideways to the owner.
7. The length of the sleeves is measured from the middle of the back (spine).

Add 1-3 centimeters to the pattern when cutting the material. This is necessary so that the dog’s clothes fit loosely and do not press the fur.

Material

Some owners prefer to dress the animal not only in winter, but also in summer. Veterinarians advise against doing this.

In the heat and heat, your pet’s skin needs to breathe. And only in the evening, in cool weather, can you put on a T-shirt or T-shirt made of natural fabric - cotton, knitwear - on the dog.

If we are talking about rainy autumn, then preference should be given to waterproof material - raincoat fabric, bologna.

As for winter, you should approach the choice of clothing for your pet with all responsibility. Under a jacket or bologna overalls, wear a warm sweater, better knitted with your own hands. To prevent your dog from freezing, a good option for warming him up would be fur, fleece, or padding polyester lining.

Constructing a pattern

To create a pattern, you first need to draw a rectangle. One side is equal to the length of the future clothing. Points are marked in the figure that correspond to the dimensions of the chest and waist. Afterwards the width of the back is indicated and, if necessary, the pattern line is extended.

The width of the backrest is divided into 2 equal parts. This results in an intersection point. A third of the circumference of the pet’s neck is measured from it. If you connect the points with a semicircular line, you will get the neck parameters. After this, the size of the hole for the dog's paws and tail is calculated.

As for the finished pattern, everything is much simpler here. The selected diagram is transferred to graph paper and cut out in accordance with the dog’s parameters. The finished elements are laid out on fabric, cut out, and then stitched. Next, the neck and sleeves are processed.

How to sew your own clothes

Housewives who follow fashion trends do not miss the opportunity to dress up their pets, purchasing a wide variety of clothes from well-known brands for their four-legged animals.

However, dogs do not always need clothes only to demonstrate the refined taste of the owner. Chihuahuas, Yorkies, short-haired dachshunds, and toy terriers are most susceptible to adverse weather conditions. What can we say about the Mexican hairless dog, the American hairless terrier, the “orchid”? Their bodies will quickly freeze under the influence of Russian frosts.

Overalls

Overalls are needed not only for pets with short hair, who always freeze in cold weather, but also for long-haired dogs.

This item of clothing will protect the animal from severe frosts, dust, dirt, and slush. The owner will not have to wash and comb the dog every time after a walk, removing all kinds of Velcro from it.

It can also be used as workwear. To determine the length of the cage, the length of the back is measured. To do this, a flexible centimeter is stretched from the withers to the base of the tail. The resulting length is divided by 8. For example, 50 cm: 8 = 6.25 cm. This will be the size of one cell.

Costume

If the dog owner does not want to see his pet dirty after a walk or does not want him to freeze, it is advisable to sew him a warm suit.

The cut should be comfortable so as not to restrict the dog’s movements. As for the fabric, it is selected depending on the weather. If we are talking about autumn, then the best option would be waterproof material. At the same time, increase the pattern by a few centimeters and repeat it on the fabric used. Then both patterns are sewn together, the clasp and cuffs are inserted. Now you don’t have to put off your walk, even if it’s raining outside.

Raincoat

The main rule for sewing a raincoat is the choice of fabric. For small dogs it is better to purchase soft and thin material, for large dogs - dense and durable. You should not give preference to cheap materials so that the skin does not overheat. The fabric from which the raincoat is made should not bunch up, irritate the dog with rustling noise, or slip off. Therefore, the material should be approached responsibly.

blanket

Unlike overalls, blankets are much more comfortable for a dog to wear. They do not restrict movement, are easy to put on, and are made of lightweight materials.

Dogs may need blankets in 3 cases:

1. After the operation, it is put on the stomach and fixed on the back so that the pet does not lick the stitches. Blankets are sewn from natural materials - cotton, linen, knitwear. Synthetic fabrics should not be used, otherwise the wound will rot, sweat, and overheat.
2. For walking in cold weather. Sewn from warm materials - fur, wool, felt. Such clothing will protect the dog from hypothermia.
3. For a walk in rainy weather. Made from waterproof materials.

A four-legged fashionista in a dress always causes affection among owners or others on a summer walk. In order to create a beautiful sundress for a pet, you do not need to have the skills of a professional. Even novice seamstresses can sew a dress for their beloved dog. Everything is done according to the pattern, and then the item is complemented with decorative elements.

Any openwork fabric, lace and multi-colored ribbons are used for this. The more elements are used, the more elegant the dress will look.

For the skirt you will need a lace ribbon. Its width should be equal to the dog’s waist (measurement taken in front of the hind legs).

Vest

The vest is good for walking in cold and cool weather. In cold weather, it is worn over overalls and a sweater.

The length of the cage in the proposed pattern is equal to the distance from the collar to the base of the tail, divided by 10. So, if the length of the back is 30 centimeters, then the size of the cage will be 3 centimeters.

If you plan to wear it over a sweater or overalls, add 1-3 centimeters to the pattern. The autumn jacket is made from waterproof materials.

T-shirt, panties

The T-shirt is worn on a dog on a cool summer evening.

It is sewn from natural materials so that the pet’s skin can breathe: cotton, linen, knitwear. For this, use a regular children's T-shirt or turtleneck. You only need 2 parts. The one on the left is the back, the one on the right is the tummy.

Pattern for a T-shirt

Panties are needed during heat, to prevent other dogs from being allowed near the dog during a walk, or immediately after giving birth. We are talking about sanitary panties, which must include a pad. They will protect furniture and floors from bloody discharge.

The simplest option for sewing panties for a dog is old children's tights. All you need to do is step back a few centimeters from the crotch and cut off the excess tissue. After this, a hole is made for the tail. The cutting line needs to be hemmed.

The main thing is that the elastic band of the tights does not put pressure on the dog’s stomach and does not fall off. If the dog pulls off his panties, then the remaining parts of the tights are used as suspenders.

There is a more complex version of dog pants with a pattern.

T-shirt

The T-shirt is ideal for a summer walk in the evening, when there is a chill in the air. You can sew it from an unwanted children's T-shirt. It is better if it is made from natural materials. This is how your pet's skin breathes.

Trousers

Dogs also need pants, especially in cold weather. You can sew them with a warm lining made of wool, fur, and so on. To prevent your pet from getting wet, it is advisable to use waterproof fabrics.

Pattern for pants

You can make pants for a miniature dog from warm socks or knee socks. To do this, the heel of each sock is cut off. Next, an incision is made to the elastic band. It turns out two parts that are sewn together. The edges are hemmed. The belt is made of elastic or lace.

Hat, cap and panama hat

Some dogs have hats in their wardrobe. Some will think that this is the owner's whim. However, veterinarians call caps and Panama hats essential for dogs in sunny weather. A hat won't hurt even in severe frosts. They are sewn from durable material lined with fur or wool.

Shoes

Buying boots for a four-legged pet is not difficult. However, no one can guarantee that the animal will be comfortable in them. Therefore, it is better to make shoes for the dog with your own hands. Here you can take into account all the features of your pet - the angle of elevation, the size and placement of the paws, the height of the boot. But the most important thing is that sewing or knitting boots for a dog is not at all difficult, especially with detailed descriptions and diagrams.

Some useful tips:

1. Shoes for dogs should be sewn in pairs, since the size of the back and front slippers differ from each other.
2. Boots should not slip, so a rough material is selected for the sole.
3. Shoes should not be tight. Therefore, it is more advisable to leave a reserve. Otherwise the dog will refuse to wear it.
4. For accurate measurements, the dog must stand upright, fully resting on its paws.
5. Buttons and zippers are not used as fasteners. It is better if it is an elastic band, Velcro, or tape with a fastener. The fasteners should not squeeze the paws, otherwise blood circulation will be disrupted and the dog will quickly freeze.
6. To prevent shoes from chafing, the seams are made on the outside.

Pattern of shoes for a dog

The central circle is the outline of the foot. The line between the circles is the desired height of the boots.

As you can see, sewing clothes for a pet is not difficult. Also, using patterns you can make not only sweaters, overalls, jackets, but also a muzzle, harness, and bed. And to make it easier for the owner and not have to measure the dog every time before creating a thing, you can make a mannequin that matches the parameters of the animal.
