Baby, it’s cold outside! Don’t forget to bundle up your pup in a fleece dog coat when the temperatures drop this winter!
Since I’ve been doing custom sewing for other people, I’ve made several fleece dog coats for one customer. This particular customer always orders a fleece dog coat to give to her mother-in-law for Christmas. The coat is for her mother-in-law’s dog, not for her mother-in-law.
The request was for a dog coat made from Santa fleece, but I was unable to find any fleece fabric with Santas on it. She had to settle for holly, and she was pleased with that.
The fleece coat is made from two layers of warm and comfy fleece fabric.
All edges of the coat are finished with an overlock stitch done on my serger. I use my regular sewing machine to attach the belly straps and the hook and loop tape.
Mocha agreed to model the finished project just so you could see the coat on a real live dog. You’ll be able to see that I made this coat extra long for the chilly dachshund who will be wearing this coat on December 25th.
Isn’t she cute?
Small dog coats $14
Medium dog coats $19
Large dog coats $26
What do you think about dogs wearing coats? (To leave a comment, click the link at the top of the post that reads “Leave a Comment”.)
I think dogs wearing coats is a very smart idea. We have a toy yorkie( he’s less than 4lbs) and I worry because they can catch colds easy. We looked for boots last year and they were all too big, so he has socks to warm his feet once he comes in.
It really is so difficult for those tiny dogs to stay warm, Cindy. Hope your little guy doesn’t catch any colds this winter!

We have a heavy fleece one for our Dachshund but I have never put it on her, but this winter I am mostly home alone with her, so will have to do it. I have to laugh how she skips along on the driveway because her feet are cold. The one you made is pretty, how does it fasten? I think ours has velcro, but have never checked.
Marygail, mine fasten with Velcro. Our own dogs never wear coats. When I put them on them, they act as if they are paralyzed. The dog for whom I made this coat is cold all the time, so he wears one of these coats even in the house.
