Another Kind of Sewing

A friend and her dog visited recently, and luckily the friend enjoys cooking and sewing as much as I do, so we had a great time.

Michele and Cowboy

Unfortunately, I did NOT get pix of all the yummy food. However, we did make a cover for Cowboy’s portable crate.

Cowboy is a very talented dog but also a very “reactive” one who is curious about anything he can see. So his portable crate needed a cover to let him get some rest between trials at the doggie events in which he competes.

Michele had been throwing a 20-year-old fitted sheet over the crate with reasonable result. However, we made a dee-luxe cover with many fine features 😉

There is a little door at the top for giving treats.

There is a screen in one side where a fan can blow in cool air. The screen has a flap to cover it when Cowboy needs rest more than he needs a breeze.

And of course there is a big flap over one end of the crate that can be thrown up to let Cowboy in and out.

We enjoyed the many challenges involved in making the crate cover. Naturally, we had to make a few little bags for ourselves, as well. A good time was had by all.
