Mum and I have been making dog beds and I've even used a sewing machine!
Bear in mind that I haven't used one since school and hated sewing then. We've made 100s! Ok, maybe not quite that many, but we've certainly made a few (10):

The 2 pink things on top are lightweight summer raincoats for the girls (Niamh & Daisy) which I made all by myself!
They're my first proper attempt at making dog coats but I really enjoyed it. I'm going to make them winter coats now as they both need them. Whippets & greyhounds need coats in the colder weather because they don't have any body fat to keep them warm.
Coats (lined in cotton):

I tried to get the girls to model them but they weren't really in the mood!

It's a good job smurfs don't need coats too!
