    Step 2: Cutting Out the Pattern ( Pet Apparel Sewing Patterns)
    Cut 1 on fold for pattern piece 1(skirt). Cut 2 on fold for piece 2(bodice). You will need to cut out the arm openings. To do this, clip an X in the center of the circles and then carefully cut this area out.

    Step 3: Sewing the Bodice
    Place the 2 bodice pieces right sides together and sew along the lines indicated below. Use a 1/4 inch seam.

    Note: Instead of following the instructions I provide for the arm openings, you might want to just use a button hole stitch instead. If you do this, just sew the button hole stitch about 1/4 inch from the circular line indicated, making the opening 1/4 inch larger, then clip away your extra fabric from the center.

    Now, turn this piece right side out and sew along the arm hole openings, catching both layers of fabric. You might need to sew this part by hand. Use a 1/4 inch seam.

    Next, clip around the arm hole openings, to your seam, and fold back the raw edges, towards what will be the inside of the bodice. Iron them in place, then sew them in place. You might want to do this step before you sew the 2 bodice pieces together, minus the sewing them in place. Iron your raw edges back, then you can totally hide them after you sew the bodices pieces together by using an invisible stitch, catching both layers. This would be the last step if you decide to do it this way. Another way to hide the edges would be by simply adding binding or another type of trim.
    making the armholes

    After you've done this part, add a couple of pleats to the back of the neck line, or gather it a little. To get a good fit, you might want to try in on your dog to see how much to gather or how big to make the pleats.

    Free Resizable Dog Clothing Pattern

    Instructions:

    Step 1: Resizing the Pattern
    If you downloaded the original pattern instead of choosing your dog's chest size, you will first need to resize the pattern to fit your dog. Measure your dog around the largest part of his or her chest. After cutting the pattern on the fold and opening it up, the width from the red X to the red X should be 4" larger than your pet's chest.

    If you print the original pattern at 100%, it will fit a dog or puppy with a 12" chest. At 85%, it would fit a pet with a 10" chest. 120%, it would fit a dog with a 14 1/2 chest(you'll need a printer that prints on 12" X 12" in order to make it this large). After printing, measure it to make sure it's 4 inches larger than your dog's chest(from the red X to the red X).

    Step 2: Cutting the Pattern
    Cut the pattern from fabric of your choice, I used a plaid flannel fabric. You can make the vest reversible by choosing two different fabrics. Cut 1(on fold) from each of the 2 fabrics or cut 2(on fold) if you will be using one fabric choice. Note: For extra padding, cut 1(on fold) from quilt batting.

    After cutting, you will have 2 pieces that look like this when you unfold them.

    Step 3: Sewing the Pattern
    Place the 2 pieces right sides together and sew them together along the dotted lines indicated on the printable pattern. Use a 1/4 inch seam. If you are using batting, make that the bottom layer and place the other 2 pieces on top, right sides together.

    Leave the sides with the red X's open. Clip the corners, to your seam, where you see the blue X's. You may also want to clip along the neckline(highlighted in green).

    Next, pull the vest through one of the openings, so that it is right-side out. You will end up with raw edges where you see the red X's above. Tuck the edges in about 1/4 inch and sew them closed.
