Hi, I’m Becky from Reinventing the Ordinary.
I want to thank Kassi here at for allowing me toGuest Blog … and also for her agreeing to Guest on my little site.
A little about me …
With degrees in Art … Architecture & Interior Design … I have always enjoyed
rebuilding … reworking … and restoring.
I absolutely hate boring and really like to shake things up whenever possible…
of course I gotta do it myself … and always on a budget.
features things I’ve made for my own home and pets … then decided to share with others.Today I thought I’d share with you my latest addition to the shop.
I’ll be adding this Fleece Crate Cover next week … so I thought I’d share a quick DIY for you guys.
Materials Needed:
1 1/3 yard fleece Color 1
1/2 yard fleece Color 2
*** this is for a small 12″ x 14″ x 18″ crate***
From Color 1
Piece A) Cut one piece 26″ x 48″ (sides and bottom)
Piece B) Cut one piece 20″ x 20 ” ( liner for front door)
From Color 2
Piece C) Cut one piece 52 ” x 20 ” (back, roof, and front door)
Piece A
At corners cut out 4″ x 4 ” squares as shown.
Fold under one long edge of Piece A for a 4″ hem.This will be the front of the cover.
On the other 3 sides cut slits 2″ wide and 4″ deep.
Sew Piece B to front short end of Piece C.
Cut 4″ x 4″ square from corners on Piece C as shown …
then fold under a 4″ hem.
On the remaining 3 sides slits cut 2″ wide and 4″ deep.
Wrap Piece A around bottom and sides of crate.
Hemmed edge should butt up along front edge of crate.
Wrap Piece B/C across back/top/front.
Align the top and back of the two sections.
Tie the top section to the side section.
As you can see I also used the same tie method to make a pillow.This is just only a short tutorial. I just gave you a thumb nail explanation. It’s is a quick project … about 1 hour. If you have any questions … you can leave a comment atreinventingtheordinary.com… and I’ll be happy to give you further directions.Starting next week this crate cover will also be on my .
I hope you get a chance to visit my little blog some time.
