Birthday pressies for Isla - Dog bandana and dog bed

Isla is a soon to be, 4yr old Irish Setter who belongs to my friend. Her birthday is coming up so we wanted to make her soem pressies, as you do!   Firstly, we made her a bandana out of pink camouflage material and plain pink. The bandana is fully reversible. The top folds over to show the two materials and when you tie it, it forms a pretty bow. The usual bandana that you buy in shops is just simple a triangle, quite often it's only a single piece of fabric. We think ours are very special as you basically get two bandana's in one. We even topstitched the whole bandana for that extra, quality touch. And doesn't she look beautiful in it! She's a pro where being photographed is concerned!

We managed to source some lovely pink fleece with hearts on and we thought it'd be just perfect for a dog bed for Isla - yes we know, she's very spoilt! The bed was very easy to make. It's simple two rectangles, sewn together on three sides - the open end of the bed is closed with, white plastic poppers - simples! We did use a wide zig-zag stitchto ensure that the edges wouldn't fray. We know Isla loves her bed and here is a picture of her on it!
