Every owner wants his four-legged friend not to freeze in bad weather and always look fashionable. Clothing for your beloved dogs is undoubtedly an important aspect of your pet's life. Do you want to know how to do it? Then our article is for you.

Undoubtedly, DIY dog clothes is one of the important aspects of your four-legged friend's life. The main requirement for clothing for dogs is comfort. Costumes for dogs are selected depending on weather conditions. For cool weather, you need overalls, dresses, boots. Costumes for dogs are very different. The most comfortable are tracksuits made of knitwear.

For clothing, you must use a fabric in which the pet will be comfortable, warm, and also their skin will breathe. For the manufacture of clothes for the summer, it is worth choosing a medium-weight cotton fabric.

Overalls for medium breeds can not be found often, but still they are a success. Summer, winter, autumn and spring overalls for medium-sized pets are common. Summer jumpsuits are especially popular. After all, ticks and mosquitoes will always remind you of themselves. Overalls for medium dogs are recommended to be made in one piece. So your four-legged friend will feel more comfortable.

Selection of materials and accessories

The main quality for the selected material is its impermeability. For summer use light fabric, for winter more insulated. The color of the material depends on your preferences. In addition to everyday walking clothes, you can also make clothes for "special occasions" such as dresses, masquerade costumes, tailcoats, and shoes.
From the accessories you can use: buttons, zippers, latches or stoppers, buttons, belts, Velcro, reflective stripes.

Pattern

The measurement is taken from the neck to the beginning of the tail. We apply a centimeter tape along the line of the vertebrae. After measuring, we divide the found number by 8. Then we build a grid from squares on paper. The side of the square will be equal to the resulting figure.

The pattern is crossed out into cells, after that we cut out the individual elements of the pattern and redraw it on the fabric. We carry out cutting, leaving the fabric at the seams, taking into account the thickness of the material.

Step by step master class

Consider the detailed instructions for sewing an autumn-spring overalls for a large breed dog:

The fastener is carried out on the back, it is more profitable to use a zipper. For long-haired dogs, you need to hem the flap under the zipper so that the hair does not get stuck in it.
Decorating can be done with various accessories of your choice.

So we looked at a step-by-step master class for large dogs. As you can see, this is not at all difficult to do.

Winter jumpsuit for a petite friend

Winter clothes for small dogs, in addition to being waterproof, should have a warm lining so that your pet does not freeze while walking. Even a novice seamstress can sew winter overalls. Thus, clothing for small dogs is an important aspect of your pet's life.

The wardrobe includes the following:

outerwear (warm overalls, coats, jackets, fur coats, vests);
home clothes (sweater, pants);
shoes (fur boots, leather shoes, boots based on synthetic winterizer);
various accessories (scarves, hats).

Pattern

Measurements are taken from the neck to the beginning of the tail. We do the measurement and calculation as in the case of the autumn-winter overalls. The pattern is drawn into cells, after that we cut out the individual elements of the pattern and redraw it on the fabric. We carry out cutting, leaving the fabric at the seams, taking into account the thickness of the material. In the same way, the lining pattern is made.

Step by step master class

Consider a step-by-step master class on sewing winter overalls for small breeds:

First, we sew the chest part, consisting of two large parts.
Then you can start sewing the legs, stitching them to the chest.
Sew the lining and main fabric together. For paws, the main fabric and lining are sewn separately, only at the very bottom they are all together, this ensures comfort for the dog.
The clasp is made on the back, it is more profitable to use a zipper. For long-haired dogs, you need to sew a flap under the zipper so that the hair does not get stuck in it.
After you need to measure the resulting product on the dog, marking the places for the abdomen, neck and tail, and the length of the legs.

Converting old clothes into new dog clothes

Dog costumes can be sewn from almost any unnecessary or old thing from your wardrobe. Starting from tights and socks, ending with a sweater and jacket.

The thing can be used for sewing various elements of dog clothes, both the main material and the lining for winter clothes, but you should take into account the characteristics of the fabric.

Laces, sweaters, denim jackets, boots. Until recently, it was hard to imagine that all this could be a dog's wardrobe. Progress in this matter is obvious: you will not surprise anyone with eared glamorous ladies in flirty dresses, elegant vests, elegant warm coats.

Order to go for a new thing in a fashion store? From what! Our hands are not for boredom. The cherished pattern of clothes is not so complicated! For you can sew and impose so much with your own hands that it will not seem enough! There would be a desire.

Oh, how you want to warm up!

Before we plunge headlong into modeling, let's discuss: do I need adults who didn't play enough with dolls in childhood? The mi-mi-bear dog just asks for the podium of a childish dream: you can dress it, shoe it, comb it, as you like. He doesn't even bark about his preferences.

It seems that one should not exaggerate the significance of someone's unfulfilled desires and aspirations. Along with them there is simple human practicality and caring. Modern cynologists say: small and short-haired breeds of dogs are in great need of additional “skins”. Otherwise, they simply cannot bear the changeable Russian weather.

It is no coincidence that needlewomen are so interested in ready-made clothing patterns. For dogs of small breeds - their own (and not only) they are ready to sew and knit day and night. Along the way, many themselves become cool fashion designers! Given that the consumption of materials is minimal, the occupation is very profitable and enjoyable: the beloved four-legged is always “like a needle”, and creative self-realization is evident.

We select fabric

Walking overalls are considered the most popular item in a dog's wardrobe. In it, amusing crumbs are not afraid of rain, snow, or mud. They do not shake their whole body in the cold, like maple leaves in the wind, but confidently run in front of their owners, looking around cheerfully. True, a balanced approach is required. It is hardly worth dressing dogs in a “suit” without much need: the fur twists, falls off, loses its appearance.

Nevertheless, it is worth taking care that there is at least one (universal) clothing pattern “in the household”. For small breed dogs, you can sew everything you need on it. About fabric. Preference is usually given to light water-repellent samples. Often use "bologna", microfiber, raincoat, rubberized.

If you don’t want to overfill the chest of drawers with many items of the original wardrobe, sew three overalls: one will serve as a raincoat, the second as a fur coat, and the third as a windbreaker.

An important condition: the pet's clothing must have a detachable insulated layer. Lining fabric for long-haired dogs is taken "satin", with a slippery surface, in order to avoid tangling the covers. As a rule, it contains viscose and silk.

We make a sample for cutting

If your pet is a kind of small "square", then this pattern of clothes is just right for him. For small breed dogs, you have to work with pinpoint accuracy, so take your time, measure seven times - cut once. The distance from the base of the neck to the base of the tail (AB) is the main thing. After measuring it, we divide the resulting figure by eight. We take this as a basis when marking a sheet of paper (tracing paper).

So, a grid of cells with a side equal to 1/8 AB should appear on the paper field. By "squares" we reproduce the pattern. Owners of large dogs working in a graphics editor can enlarge the image to the required size, print out fragments, then glue them together.

Fasteners may vary. In this case, Velcro is provided on the back. If your dog has a short coat, you can sew in a zipper. The width of the "legs" ("sleeves" - in this case, any concept is suitable) is regulated using the same "Velcro", elastic, cord (less convenient, but can always be made from improvised materials).

The process has begun

We make two identical parts from which we will make the upper part of the suit. Please note: they are one-piece cut (with a sleeve). Cut out the gusset (insert under the arms). We put notches along the axial (central) line of fabric parts (the curve of the back is steeper - there are more cutouts in the form of triangles). Do not look that the pattern of clothes for dogs. There are a lot of small breeds, and even more little things of technology!

The edge is processed with a bias binding from the main fabric (width 3-3.5 cm) or a finished edging tape (sold in the departments of needlework goods). The facing for the fastener is a rectangle of fabric (length = AB, width = 8-10 centimeters).

Well, here we have learned how to make patterns of clothes for dogs. A do-it-yourself wardrobe is a matter of time. In the meantime, we sit down at the sewing machine and sew the first update. After stitching the details, iron the tucks along the seam. Turning the workpiece inside out, sew the sleeves. We sew the seams by hand or with an overlock. Let's sew a gusset. It is important to follow its alignment with (in this direction, the fabric is stronger). The slanting inlay, neatly sewn in the processing of the neck and back of the overalls, gives the product a “factory look”.

Toychik, toychik! And the bulldog?

We attach a Velcro fastener (acts on the principle of a burdock) along the back and bottom of the "trouser legs". Update is ready! Decoration of overalls is a matter of taste of the hostess. Design your own patterns of clothes for dogs of small breeds. York (Yorkshire Terrier), according to many, is a breed that is especially pleasant to dress up. An affectionate, funny dog in beautiful clothes is a sweet sight.

Bulldogs are larger than terriers, but they also get cold in cold weather. They also wear overalls. A donut won't hurt either. The cover that covers the back and torso does not restrict movement and is easily adjustable in size. The colored line in the last picture indicates the top of the blanket. The detail is double. Sew along the top. A loop for the ponytail will help fix the product.

We fasten the details with an elastic band (in that place in the drawing there is a red square). With it, you can adjust to expand or narrow the hole for the head. Bulldogs are "stocky". If you decide for another breed, pay attention to the width of the body, reduce the base if necessary.

Ladybug

The blanket has a lower part of three parts (shown in blue paste in the picture). It is put on in the manner of a "doctor's coat" (as if you put on a shirt "back to front"). Hugging the torso, it fastens on the back with Velcro. Sheathe the product around the edge with braid. Agree, this is a very exciting activity - do-it-yourself clothes for dogs.

Patterns, ideas - your own Model House in action. A cute cape can be crocheted with a single crochet or any other tight knit. With experience, you can swipe at a pretty sweater. Select yarn according to the task: for a dress for a little fashionista, take cotton, silk. For a jumper - angorka, soft wool. You can use a "loose" thread (profitable and economical).

We continue to create

You still do not know how to sew dog clothes with your own hands? Easy patterns - for you. Actually, you can do without them. Nowadays, a huge number of hosiery is produced for men, women, children. Bright mohair, bamboo, cotton, woolen, down. Let's reveal a secret: you can make clothes for a small dog out of them, since knitwear stretches well.

And a shirt for Mosechka? It can be sewn in just a few minutes! Where is our daughter's or son's old T-shirt? She will be useful to us! We measure (everything like with people!) chest girth, back length (though from the place where the collar is put on to where the tail grows from). OG T-shirts should be the same. From the neckline, measure the length of the product. Cut out in the manner of a “tailcoat” (the back detail is longer, the front is shorter). Round off the line. Make a border (you can just fold and hem).

The client is ready - you can sew

Everything that is sewn is subject to knitting needles if you love knitting. The pattern of clothes for dogs of small breeds is used in a similar way. Why not make a lined coat? You can knit it, sew it from the remnants of knitwear (do not forget about the lining), trim it with fur, decorate it with an expressive large button (and it can be crocheted). If you have a dachshund - lengthen the pattern. Don't forget the seam allowances. Do fitting - your "customer" is always there.

Speaking of taxes. Many owners complain that it is difficult to find a store suit for this breed. We have to sew ourselves. Vests are especially suitable for "long ones". They are easy to sew, even in the absence of tailor's skills. The vest fastens at the back. The neck can be knitted (according to the principle of a "collar" of a sweater).

The vest, equipped with straps, if necessary, turns into a carrier for the dog. Grabbed by the handles - carried! That's how exciting the theme "Pattern of clothes for dogs"! Small breeds of individuals dressed up. It seems that many people thought: what if, contrary to the advice of cynologists, they sew a jumpsuit and a Doberman?

With the onset of cold weather, more and more often you can meet dogs on the streets dressed in fancy warm overalls. And this is not only a tribute to fashion trends. Short-haired animals can freeze, and long-haired animals can get dirty. Clothes for animals are not so cheap, but dog overalls can be sewn with your own hands.

How to take measurements from a dog

To build a pattern and sew a jumpsuit for an animal, it is necessary to take measurements correctly. Before you start this lesson, you should set the dog in the rack. Otherwise, the parameters of her body will change, and the dimensions will not correspond to reality.

When measuring, the data should be recorded as they really are, without adding centimeters for allowances. The fact is that there are a large number of patterns of clothes for dogs, and the allowances are calculated already when cutting the fabric. In addition, the number of centimeters added directly depends on what kind of fabric the overalls are sewn from.

Use a factory-made measuring tape to accurately measure your dog.

Key steps to take:

Chest girth - the parameter is measured at the widest point of this part of the animal's body.
The length of the back is the distance from the withers to the base of the tail.
Abdominal girth - measured at the narrowest part of the dog's torso.
Neck girth - measured in the place where the collar is usually located.
The distance between the front and hind legs is measured from the side.
Paw height - this parameter is necessary if you are sewing a jumpsuit with "sleeves".
Distance from neck to armpits.
The volume of the hind leg at its widest part is the only measurement that needs to be taken when the animal is sitting.
Distance between front legs.

These measurements will be enough to sew a beautiful and cozy jumpsuit for your pet.

Soap can be used instead of chalk

In order to sew any thing, patterns are needed. There are a large number of ready-made patterns of overalls for dogs, by changing which, in accordance with the measurements taken, you can make a great product.

To sew a jumpsuit you will need:

fabric of two types - upper, preferably waterproof and lining. When choosing a fabric, consider how comfortable your pet will be in clothes. This is especially true for the lining. For her, flannel, cotton, fleece and other soft and warm fabrics are chosen;
threads;
tractor lightning;
two rubber bands;
Velcro;
tape measure;
graph paper, in the absence of such, you can use old wallpaper;
sewing machine;
crayon;
scissors;
pins.

Using patterns, clothes for the dog can be decorated according to your choice. The simplest pattern of overalls for a dog. To sew such a jumpsuit, you only need one measurement - the length of the dog's back. All other dimensions change according to this parameter.

When measuring the length of the back, the dog must stand on a flat surface.

And this is already a modeled pattern of overalls with separate sleeves and legs. It builds on the previous one. Suitable if your pet has non-standard sizes.

Any pattern can be changed to your liking.

This is a pattern of a complex jumpsuit with a hood and cuffs. However, it is advisable to sew the cuffs on any overalls or insert elastic bands down the sleeves.

This pattern is suitable for experienced craftswomen.

Did you know that the appearance of Velcro for clothes is associated with dogs? Georges de Mestral used to remove burdock heads from his dog's fur after walking with his dog. Once he examined them under a microscope, thanks to which he saw tiny hooks, with their help the heads cling to the hair of animals (for example, dogs). So de Mestral came up with the idea of Velcro.

How to train an animal to wear clothes in the cold season

Dogs are not people. It is not natural for them to wear clothes, and therefore they may show considerable resistance when trying to dress them, especially for the first time. Each dog has its own individual character. Some will calmly accept the “whim” of the owner and allow themselves to be dressed in overalls, while others will desperately resist this. There are no universal ways to accustom a dog to clothes, but there are some recommendations that will help in this difficult task:

To accustom a dog to clothes should be from the tender age of the puppy. So the animal will better perceive his wardrobe, which, of course, will be constantly updated.
In any case, it is best to accustom a pet to clothes with light horsecloths covering the back. And this should be done at home. Let the pet walk around the house in a horseshoe for several minutes a day. Then you can change them to T-shirts, overalls without “sleeves” and, at the very least, you can dress the dog in a closed suit.
New clothes, even hand-sewn, will smell unfamiliar to the dog. Therefore, it is better if she lies at home for a few days. So the pet will better perceive the new thing.
When putting on a dog overall for the first time, there is no need to show irritation, even if it resists. Scolding will only scare away the animal. You should gently but persistently bring the matter to the end.
So that a dressed dog does not get hung up on clothes, you need to distract him with something. Play with him, for example, in the ball. The pet will be distracted and forget about the inconvenience.
Many dogs, when wearing a jumpsuit for the first time, freeze or even lie down on the floor. You should not persuade them or feel sorry for them. And even more so, you should not immediately undress the dog. She will perceive this as an encouragement to her behavior, and in the future it will be very difficult to accustom her to the overalls.

Sewing your own dog clothes is easy. After all, measurements to the nearest millimeter are not required here. The animal should feel comfortable in clothes. It is desirable that the suit is free and does not restrict movement. But in the overalls of your manufacture, the pet will look original and stylish, because you can create any model depending on your wishes.

After you have sewn the overalls with your own hands, it will not be difficult for you to make another blouse and panties for your favorite four-legged pet.

In inclement weather, people wrap themselves in warm, comfortable, waterproof clothing that is comfortable and in line with fashion trends. Faithful, devoted, our smaller brothers - dogs - suffer no less than us from heat, wind, bad weather. Being responsible for those who were taken into the family and tamed, we take care of our four-legged friends, worrying about their health and well-being. Do-it-yourself clothes for dogs, the patterns of which are modeled taking into account the parameters of your pet, will warm you in the cold, hide from the rain, and emphasize the stylish, fashionable “outfit” of your pet.

The quality of the pattern of clothes for a dog largely depends on the correctness of taking measurements. Then the process of designing, modeling outfits with your own hands will require perseverance, attention and drawing skills from you. Transferring the finished pattern to the fabric will not be difficult, and the main point at this stage will be the process of choosing the material. Don't forget about accessories: zippers, fasteners, Velcro, trim tapes and elastic bands are present in most models of clothing for dogs.

How to take measurements correctly

In order for your hand-made clothes to fit perfectly on the dog - without restricting movements, without rubbing the skin - consider the main rules for measuring a pet:

All measurements are taken in a standing position.
In order for the parameters to be correct, and the pattern to follow the contours of the dog's body, it is necessary to take measurements in the widest places:
- the girth of the neck is equal to the volume of the collar;
- chest volume is measured directly behind the front paws;
- The length of the back is determined by the distance from the withers to the base of the dog's tail when standing.
Do not forget to add 1 to 3 cm to the pattern when cutting the material: these will be seam allowances and a loose fit of the clothes.

Material selection

Summer heat is not the best reason to dress up your beloved dog in a variety of clothes. Let your four-legged friend breathe freely and not overheat. On a cool evening, cotton, knitted T-shirts, t-shirts are perfect. Spring-autumn time brings inclement, rainy weather, so at the time there will be waterproof bologna, raincoat fabric.

To keep the dog warmer, put on a jumper underneath, a sweater knitted with your own hands, in the threads of which the proportion of wool or cotton should be at least 40%. Natural or artificial fur, fleece, synthetic winterizer (as lining of overalls) will reliably protect your pet from frost and snow. Use woolen fabrics for coats, drapes for tailoring outerwear patterns.

Building a basic pattern for modeling and sewing

So that every piece of clothing for dogs with your own hands, the patterns of which you find or design, sit perfectly on your four-legged friend, you will need patience and time:

Draw a rectangle with one side equal to the length of the garment.
Set aside the points corresponding to the measurements of the waist and chest line.
Then it is necessary to mark the width of the back, extending the pattern line.
Dividing the width of the back into 2 equal parts, we get the intersection point, from which measure 1/3 of the girth of the dog's neck.
Connecting the dots in a semicircle, we get the neck line.
Then you need to build a shoulder section, calculate the size of the armhole for the front and hind legs of the dog.
When cutting out clothes with your own hands, do not forget to leave a cutout for the tail.
For a sleeve pattern, you will need to measure the length of each paw of the dog, the volume - according to the bones of the upper joint.

all measurements from the dog are taken while standing, in the widest places of the body;
the length of the back is the distance from the withers to the tail;
by the collar you can determine the volume of the neck;
The chest is measured behind the front legs.

When cutting the fabric, add 1.2 cm - a margin for a spacious style of clothing and seams. It should not rub the skin and hinder movement. For knitting, you will need to take measurements corresponding to the chosen outfit.

Building a pattern

Comfortable, beautiful clothes, designed and sewn by hand for a small dog, will take time and patience.

It is most convenient to use the scheme marked with squares:

Transfer the selected pattern to graph paper and cut it out.
Put the finished parts on the fabric.
Cut out patterns from fabric.
You should carry out your cutting with an allowance for the seams (1-2 cm), taking into account the thickness of the material.
The resulting elements are stitched together.
Finish the sleeves and neckline.

Many patterns contain instructions on how to correctly adapt the size to the animal.

When connecting all the details received, it is necessary to take into account the addition of zippers, buttons, buttons - it is more convenient to place these accessories under the dog's belly or on the back. Velcro or lacing may sometimes be required.

A tailored, sewn product is tried on for a baby, places for a neckline, belly, and tail are marked. Along the edge of the neckline, trouser leg (for overalls), it is necessary to sew an elastic band or lacing. Decorate the outfit with various accessories, pockets.

The simplest sewing model that does not require special skills is a blanket. For its manufacture, you can use any scarf, folding it into a triangle. Sew a loop to one end, a button or Velcro to the other.

A belt can be placed in the middle so that the blanket holds well. The outfit is ready in a few minutes, for any season, depending on the density of the material.

Instruction

The knitting process starts from the neck to the tail. A certain number of loops are cast on the width of the collar. We knit it, if it is provided by the model.
Having received the desired length of the collar, the loops are closed on both sides. We leave 2.3 cm, then go to the back. Loops are cast on both sides of this strip.

We knit a flat fabric to the beginning of the legs. Then the loops are reduced, the middle of the back remains. It is tied up to the tail and the edge of the contour is buried.

The collar is sewn in the middle, then the torso. The product is tried on. The remaining part is tied from the neck to the calf, the breast is closed.

The next detail is the back panties. We knit and sew to the notch with the outside, the inside remains free.
We knit the front sleeves the same as for a person, calculating the size of the animal.
