Step 2. Prepare Your Fleece
We’ll start with your old fleece pants! You can remove the ribbed cuff unless it’s loose enough for your pup’s head to fit through. If yes, you can just roll it back a few times.
Step 3. Cut Out Holes for Paws
Mark the distance between the front legs on the fabric. Next, cut the openings big enough for paws to fit through.
Step 4. Cut the Fabric on an Angle
Reposition the fabric so the side seams run along each side of your pet. Cut the fabric to get a better measurement on your puppy’s back.
Using back measurement, cut the fabric on a slight angle.
Step 5. Fit the Easy DIY No-Sew Dog Jacket
Now you can try the jacket on your pup. It should be fit just right, comfortable, and allows your pet freedom of movement.

What a clever, easy, inexpensive idea! I have an old lady cat; I may maker her one.
That sounds awesome Gail. You can definitely make one for you cat 🙂
make, not maker 😉
When did sewing become so difficult that no one wants to try it any more? Even if I did cut up my sweats for my dog, I’d still want to hem the cut edges.
You can definitely do that Susan!
Thank you!! I have 2 puppies I might make matching jackets different colors. Lace ruffles around the leg and back opening would be cute 🙂
