I saved oodles of money... because I just used a scrap piece of hot pink cloth, and an old teddy bear print flannel, plus the stuffing from 2 old pillows my mom was going to throw away. 
I love sewing but I hardly find the time to do my pending sewing projects. I bought this sewing machine a year ago... but hardly use it! Such a shame...
I cut the hot pink cloth to be the main part of the bed, and then the printed flannel was cut into panels for the sides. Then I just stitched the pannels together.... no exact measurements... I just wanted to make a huge bed for Lola. She has outgrown her puppy one.
Once the panels were machine stitched together (REMEMBER to leave holes for the stuffing to go in!)... I stuffed the bed with the insides of the old pillows. Then I hand stitched all the openings shut. This bit was a pain in the arse. So tedious.
Ta da! The design is pretty similar to the ones I saw in the pet store. A dog bed this large in size would have cost about $60 easily!
Lola comes to inspect it.
Yay! She loves it! (Something tells me she'll still be sleeping in my bed tonight though!)
