I have used McCall's 3071 (OOP) which is for pet accessories and includes instructions and patterns to make a dog coat, dog bed and dog bed cover.
The inner bed is made from calico which wasn't quite wide enough for the circles, so I added a seam in the centre. This takes 9 x 200g Craft Fiber bags to fill.
The patterned corduroy I have had in the stash for at least 14 years, I know I purchased it with the intention of making DH a pair of pull on pants to lounge around in, and yes he was wearing this sort of thing when I met him, I think they were left over from his surfing days.
I didn't quite have enough for the whole bed cover so I purchased 1 metre of burgundy corduroy for the side panels and used a burgundy zip from my stash.
And this is a sight that every Border Collie owner wants to see, them sound asleep.

He now needs a kiss good night. Nice work for Roscoe.
Awwwwwww! I need to make a cat sized equivalent.
Very nice! I talked my dh into sewing the dog beds at our house after we came home with this gigantic bag of stuffing!
Let me finish your last sentence:
... because he's not herding his pack!
Lucky lucky Roscoe! Yep that patterned corduroy would have been great in the surfing days of old - I think there are some guys around here still wearing them!!!
Doesn't he look gorgeous on his new bed!! I have posted the pic on my kids' home computer so at least they can look at a pet! Luisa R
Roscoe is a beautiful dog and he looks so pleased with his new bed.
