If you're a gamer with a beloved dog or cat, this pet bed is a must; and would look completely snazzy with Nintendo themed fabric that was recently added at Jo-Anns. Maybe even a pattern with Mario Kart would be perfect for kujo.

After watching the video, I can say it's a very simple project that any novice sewer could complete. Within the video they say exactly what dimensions fit various sized dogs, and how many yards are needed for each pattern. 

Follow the instructions and you can have a wonderful bed fit for any furry friend.

Instructions found here, state that 4 different types of fabrics were used, along with interfacing and a small amount of elastic. It's not too hard picking 4 different fabrics, especially with the 20 new Nintendo brands available at Jo-Anns. 


Gamers on the go who need messenger bags to move their precious games should check into these easy sewing instructions found here.

The only fabrics needed are one yard of fabric, a second yard of different fabric, and one yard of fusible fleece interfacing.
