If you are new to sewing this is a great project to move on from the Lavender Bags or the Simple Tote Bag , No dog (or cat) :-( No problem, the same pattern makes a fantastic versatile floor cushion that's great for indoor and outdoor relaxing, easy to pack for camping and festivals. My top tip, take you time, enjoy, and if in doubt PIN first, check ,then sew. The finish basket/cushion is suitable for a small to medium dog, our adorable model Stanely is a Welsh Pembroke
