How to Sew the Dog Vest
Start by cutting all the pieces from your outer fabric and lining fabric. Sew the shoulder seams first, then assemble the hood and attach it to the vest.
Next, place the lining and outer fabric right sides together and sew around the edges. Take your time around the curves and make small adjustments to the lining as you sew.
After turning the vest right side out, push out all the corners and finish the edges with topstitching for a neat look.
Finally, attach the Velcro. Make sure one piece is positioned on the inside of the vest and the other on the outside so the vest can close securely.
And thatās it ā your cozy DIY dog vest is ready! š¾
