How to sew a raincoat for a dog. Upcycling an umbrella into a raincoat! 

yay!

he's pretty cute :)

I think so! You could also add a very thin layer of fabric if you're worried - like a quilting cotton. Good luck!

Wonderful! I hope Shorty likes it :).

you might want to measure your dog around the chest. Then subtract out the fabric that's on your dog's back, but with a little seam allowance. the straps should overlap about 2 or 3 inches, and add some length for the seam allowance. hope that helps!

Good luck! I'd love to see the finished project! You can tag me on Instagram :) @no_trace_shop

Ooo I love that idea - a tye-dyed rain coat! If you have rip-stop nylon, that'll be somewhat water-wicking. Oil cloth should be waterproof. And waxed cotton is another great, synthetic free option if you can find it (or make it!).

Vinyl table cloth works amazing also ❤and also has a backing so built in stabilizer.

Late to the party, I went to a thrift store and found a large raincoat I'm going to cut up and make 2 dog coats from :)

it is :)!

Thank you so much Gina! I hope you have fun with it! -Liz

Thanks Susan :)! It was fun - and he seems to like it!

You're so welcome!

He's 100% mutt! :) various terrier mixes :)
