Make a Custom Dog Coat

We are fortunate to foster dogs and cats for PAWS Chicago. Living in Chicago, we’ve used our sewing skills to make lined, waterproof dog coats using our very own fabrics and thought we’d share how we do it. This tutorial will walk you through the process of measuring your dog, laminating cotton quilting fabric with iron-on vinyl and sewing a great looking and useful coat for your loving companion! The measurement worksheet we use in the video can be downloaded on our site at If you’ve found this video useful, please consider supporting the great work being done by PAWS Chicago or make a donation to your local shelter.
