Make a Vest for your Keen K-9

Dress up your Keen K-9 in a vest! Make it a service vest such as: police, military, fire, general service, etc. While these might be some of the initial ideas for a K-9 vest, you can also have some fun with it and make it any type of vest you want! A fishing vest? A scuba vest? A swimming vest? A vest full of fun patches? Whatever you want!

This is designed to fit the Keen K-9 Pudgy Plushie, but will also fit the Charismatic Cat and Sluggish Sloth just as well and can fit other Pudgy Plushies, some slight modifications may need to be made.

The tutorial is a video tutorial only and can be found on my YouTube channel here.

What you will need:

  • 18″ wide by 16″ long (lengthwise grain) (or 1/3 yard) fabric for outer vest (duck canvas, quality cotton, corduroy, etc)
  • 18″ wide by 16″ long (lengthwise grain) (or 1/3 yard) fabric for inner vest (duck canvas, quality cotton, corduroy, etc)
  • 1.5 yards Reflective or decorative ribbon (I used 5/8″ wide and 0.8″ wide) I used this reflective ribbon: Black / Yellow *optional
  • Thread
  • Patches and/or pins/badges *optional I used these: Service Dog, Police K9,  Police Badge Pin and Fire
  • 2/3 yard (24 inches) Hook and loop tape (Velcro®) I used 3/8″ wide extra thin Velcro for doll clothes.
