      Measure your dog from the base of the neck to midway to his tail.

    • 3

      Cut the sweatshirt to the correct length.

    • 4

      Either sew the hem or use fabric webbing.

    • 5

      Cut the sleeves so they hang just above the knee joint on your dog's front legs.

      Hem the sleeves as well, if you prefer the tailored look.

    • 7

      Place your dog's legs in the sweatshirt first and then stretch the neck opening over his head.
