So I found this wonderful outdoor fabric.  It is just so perfectly and summery (summer-ish?) that I had to buy some. It has a thick and durable canvas texture making perfect material for a dog bed.

 I will post the full tutorial on Ribbons & Stitches but just these perty snapshots up here for now until I make time to post the whole thing, the fabric is so great and the snapshots were so perfect I had to post them here.

Note: Cat very much enjoys dog bed.
