I love having a dog, and there are so many fun things to sew for dogs. It’s great to make toys and games for him, or nice things like beds and mats. I especially love picking out cute fabric for the things that I make for him.

I’ve slowly been making different projects for our pup, and I’ve finally put a list together of all the tutorials and free patterns of sewing projects for dogs so that you can make something too.

What is a PDF sewing pattern?

A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.

I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!

How do you use a PDF sewing pattern?

Open the PDF on a computer and click print. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size.

Once the pattern is printed it can be taped together to get the full size. Then the pattern can be cut for each pattern piece size or individual sizes can be traced so that the pattern can be used again and again. Learn how to use PDF sewing patterns.
