Cat Soft Basket Bed

Hello everyone. This is my first instructable and I would like to share the creation of a cat bed made for one of my cats, since he doesn't like any of the ones he has and prefers a backpack left on the floor; his favorite "bed" at the moment and I don't have the heart to remove it. I want him to finally have a bed that he really likes, so I took some fabric scraps I had and based on the measurements and shape of the backpack he sleeps in to make one.

• Threads
• Fabric (2 types of fabric):
• Sherpa fleece (inner part of the bed)
• Waterproof canvas (external part of the bed)
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• Stuffing (use the stuffing of your choice, I used siliconized stuffing)
• Sewing machine or needles to sew the fabrics together
• Markers or chalk
• Zipper
• Bias or bias binding

OUTSIDE OF THE BED (with canvas):

• 1 segmented rectangle A
• 2 rectangles B
• 1 rectangle C
• 1 rectangle D

INSIDE OF BED (with Sherpa fleece):

• 1 segmented rectangle A
• 2 rectangles B
• 1 rectangle C
• 2 rectangle E

Using two (2) E rectangles of sherpa fleece fabric:

• Sew zipper:

Mark zipper length on both fabrics and add one (1) cm to that length, on each side.

Sew one side of the zipper to a rectangle, both facing each other, do the same with the other side of the zipper and the second rectangle.

Then sew leaving 1 cm seam allowance from the edge and sew around both rectangles having them facing each other (right side with right side of both rectangles fabrics) to close the cover. 

Turn over.

• Sew all outer rectangles by joining each side of rectangle right side to right side of fabric:

• A with B, B with C, C with B, B with A

• Sew all inner rectangles by joining each side of rectangle right side to right side of fabric:

• A with B, B with C, C with B, B with A.

• Join the resulting "doughnuts" on the right side of the fabric of each "doughnut" and sew 1 cm from the edge.
• Turn over
• Sew 1 cm from the edge to close the wheel, leaving space for stuffing.
• Fill

Sew the edge of the D rectangle to the bottom edge of the seam from the previous step, joining the D rectangle and the outer wall of the bed on the right side of the fabric, sewing with a 1 cm seam allowance.

Well, it's my other cat who started using it, even though he is much bigger than my other cat (the inspiration for this bed).
