Hairless breeds come to the defense of cat fashion, looking for warmth in the bowels of the apartment and on the lap of the owner. Clothing for cats is not just a whim of the owner, but a real necessity. So that the pet does not spend his life in search of warmth, you can sew a comfortable suit for him that protects him from the hardships of the winter season.

Nature has taken care of the comfort and warmth of most cat breeds. Even before birth, animals acquire a soft and hardy fur coat that performs the most important functions. This is thermoregulation, and protection from wind, moisture and other weather conditions.

But certain breeds were less fortunate in this regard. This is especially true of artificially bred ones, whose wool is presented in the form of a barely noticeable fluff. These breeds are completely devoid of even the minimum “plumage”. In terms of hygiene, the creation of hairless breeds has become a lifesaver for people suffering from allergies. However, the cats themselves had to pay for hypoallergenicity. Their body temperature is most often elevated, and the animals themselves are constantly looking for somewhere to keep warm. The way out and salvation for freezing animals will be clothes for cats, which you can sew with your own hands.

What breeds will need clothes:

Woolen pets do not need clothes. However, some owners prefer to dress up their pets in interesting costumes. Well, if the outfit does not interfere with the cat itself, then why not?

What to make for a pet

Fashion for cats is different from human trends. Not beauty should come to the fore, but the convenience of the outfit. And only after providing the animal with comfort, you can proceed to pointing out beauty.

In tailoring clothes for cats, you need to build on three basic requirements:

• quality. The outfit should be as natural as possible. Better not to use for tailoring synthetic fabrics and other dubious products;
• simplicity. The costume should not consist of a dozen details in which the animal will get confused;
• comfort. Even in overalls, the cat remains a predator that needs to hunt, run and jump. The outfit should not hamper the movements of the “fashionista”.

When choosing an outfit for a cat, the owner should pay attention to the most popular items of the tailed wardrobe.

Table 1. Types of clothes for cats

Outfit element	Image	Benefit
		Protects your cat from cold and dirt while walking
		Keeps a bald cat warm on cold winter evenings
		Lightweight outfit for the off-season
		Decoration for a thoroughbred lady
		An element that gives the cat a feminine look

As a rule, cats do not need hats and shoes. In addition, it will take a long time to accustom them to such outfits.

Taking measurements from the model

For tailoring cat clothes, individual measurements should be taken from the model, which will allow you to draw an accurate pattern. Use universal templates not recommended, as even animals of the same breed may differ in size.

For almost any outfit, you need only three measurements. Armed with a tape, fix the cat in a standing position and take the following measurements:

• neck girth. The circumference of the neck is measured in its thickest place - at the base. It is desirable that at this moment the cat stands straight;
• back length. This length is measured from the base of the neck to the root of the tail. To do this, apply a tape along the body, avoiding its bends if possible;
• chest girth. The measure is taken around the body, laying a meter under the front paws of the animal.

Some outfits will require additional measurements. For example, to determine the distance between the front and hind legs or the circumference of the "waist".

The obtained values ​​​​are transferred to paper, inscribing them in the pattern. When the template is ready, it is applied to the animal and adjustments are made so that later the finished outfit is not redone. You can read about what measurements are needed when sewing clothes for cats below.

Universal blueprint

Most outfits can be sewn based on just one pattern. To create a universal drawing, you will need a sheet of paper and measurements taken from the animal. Based on the measurements, a pattern is drawn, consisting of a back and front.

All smooth curves are drawn intuitively and corrected after the first fitting. Having drawn the proposed pattern, it is necessary to make allowances for the seams, after which the details are cut out and the image is transferred to the wrong side of the fabric.

For convenience, the pattern can be pinned with pins. The drawing is redrawn and cut out. Depending on the chosen fabric, a fastener is used when sewing an outfit. If a knitted stretch material is chosen, a zipper is not needed, since the vest can be pulled over the cat over the head. In the case of inelastic materials, a fastener is sewn into the back. You can also use Velcro or buttons, but for this you will have to adjust the back detail, leaving an allowance for the fastener.

Vest without a pattern

To sew a vest for a cat, it is not necessary to draw complex schemes. It is enough to arm yourself with an old sweater, scissors and creative inspiration. A dog is shown as a model in the figure, however, the proposed accessory is perfect for a cat of any breed.

The step-by-step production of such a vest is presented below:

1. from knitted sweater cut off the sleeve;
2. a curved line is drawn with chalk next to the cut - on the stomach, the vest should be shorter than on the back;
3. cut off the excess along the marked line and overcast the edge. Can be used as overcast hand stitch or overlock;
4. the future vest is applied to the animal and the place of the holes for the paws is marked. The closer to the narrow edge the holes are made, the smaller the waistcoat collar will be;
5. folding the sleeve in half, reflect the marks for the holes symmetrically and cut them out. You can overcast the edge in any way.

After completing the fitting, adjust the craft. If necessary, it can be sutured.

Sphinx Dress

You can also sew an original outfit for a cat with a simple pattern. An example of this would be a wonderful dress created from just two parts.

To start by measured standards you need to cut out the main part. To do this, the fabric is ironed and folded with the right side inward. Chalk on the resulting "sandwich" of fabric draw a pattern. In the proposed example, the length of the back is 26 cm. This value can be changed depending on the required length of the dress. The value equal to 17 cm in the photo indicates the length of the product on the stomach. The first fitting will help determine the length, so the fabric is cut out with a margin, and later the excess is cut off.

Step-by-step instructions for making a dress for a sphinx consists of a few simple steps:

1. seam allowances are added to the part and a pattern is cut out;
2. dividing the fabric folded in half, they get a dress detail with two cutouts for the paws. Attaching the item to the animal, mark the required length and adjust the dress;
3. the armholes of the sleeves and the bottom of the product can be edged with a ribbon or hemmed on a typewriter, tucking the fabric 3 mm;
4. the detail is sewn. The seam should be on the front of the product;
5. as the neck of the dress, you can use cuffs from any sweater or a strip of elastic fabric. The material rectangle should have a length equal to the circumference of the cat's neck. The strip is sewn into a ring and folded in half, after which it is attached to the product.

The dress can be decorated in any way you like. For example, create an applique from fabrics or sew on buttons and other decorative elements.

The tuxedo

As stylish accessory you can sew a wonderful tuxedo for a cat. Using a simple scheme, you can make a cape jacket that will not hinder movement and give your pet comfort.

For work you will need the following materials:

• white fabric - old T-shirt;
• black material - any cotton flap of a suitable size;
• a piece of red felt;
• Velcro fasteners;
• scissors, chalk and other tailor's little things.

Step 1. To determine the length of the tailcoat, measure the length from the neck to the tail of the cat. A pattern of a white element is cut out of white fabric in accordance with the measurements. For convenience, use a fabric folded in half. You will need 2 of these parts.

Step 2 The first white part, folded in half, is applied to the black fabric. The dark element should not be the same size as the white one, as the jacket will end up being shorter than the shirt.

Step 3 You can choose any shape of the vest itself. The main thing is that it be symmetrical.

Step 4 A tie is cut out of red fabric, and a collar is made from a white flap.

1. a tie with a collar is attached to the base;
2. a vest is attached to the upper white part;
3. the protruding part of the tie is sewn on top;
4. Velcro is sewn to the elongated neck so that the upper part tightly covers the lower one.

Step 6 The future tailcoat will be attached to the pet's neck and stomach. As a fastener, cut out a rectangular strip of black color and enclose its edges by 0.5 cm.

Step 7 The resulting strap is sewn between two white parts of the tailcoat. The length of the belt is determined by the circumference of the pet's chest. It is best to adjust this length during fitting. The edge of the cut off girdle is lined up. A strong Velcro is sewn on one end of the tape.

Step 8 The second part of Velcro is sewn on the opposite side of the white part from the inside out, as shown in the figure. The fastened strap will wrap around chest animal. To make the tailcoat look stylish, its edge can be ironed and stitched 1 mm from the edge.

The finished tuxedo will serve as an excellent cape for the freezing Devon Rex.

air skirt

Clothes for cats are needed not only for warming the pet, but also for going out. So, exhibition animals often appear before the judges in exclusive outfits. Particularly relevant in cat fashion are skirts that give sophisticated breeds femininity and charm.

To create such an unusual accessory you will need:

1. tulle;
2. satin ribbon;
3. scissors.

The easiest way to create a fluffy tutu does not require any drawings or patterns. To sew a skirt, it is enough to measure the circumference of the “waist” of the cat and add 10 cm to this value.

The satin ribbon is cut to the length obtained. Tulle is cut into strips 2 cm wide. The length of the strips is equal to the required length of the skirt, multiplied by 2.

Further, the strips of tulle are folded in half and tied on satin ribbon loose knots, as shown in the photo. The thicker the ribbons are tied, the more magnificent the pack will be. To add volume to the product, the length of the strips can be varied. To create color transitions, tulle of various shades is used.

When all the stripes are tied to a ribbon, the skirt is tried on a cat. The free ends of the tape are tied on the back of the animal and their length is adjusted.

Warm option for walking

Fashionable clothes for a cat can not only be sewn, but also knitted. Will help with this simple circuit vest for an adult pet.

In order for clothes to bring comfort and joy, you need to choose natural threads. Acrylic thread or angora yarn will also work. You will also need knitting needles. Their diameter is determined by the thickness of the yarn, and the recommended tool number is indicated on the package of threads.

On a note! Before knitting, it is advised to wash the threads in warm water and dry in the fresh air. Can not use washing powder with a pungent odor. Hairless cats often face skin problems, allergies and other troubles.

emergency heating

It happens that cat clothes are needed urgently. There is not enough time to build patterns and tailoring. This happens when a frozen kitten is nailed to the house in winter. To quickly warm it up, you can build a simple outfit from an ordinary sock.

What you need:

• old warm sock without a pair;
• scissors;

To make a simple vest from improvised materials, you do not need sewing skills. Even a child will cope with such a task, since it includes a few simple steps:

1. the sock is applied to the pet and the length of the future product is measured with a small margin (1 cm). Chalk mark the cut line;
2. the sock is folded and ironed, then the excess is cut off;
3. after that, mark the position of the holes for the paws. It is important to draw them symmetrically. In order for the vest to have a wide collar, holes are drawn in the middle of the sock;
4. scissors cut longitudinal holes. If desired, they can be overcast with a hand seam or use an overlock;
5. try on products for a cat. You should check if she is not cramped in such an outfit. To do this, stick a palm under the sock. If the hand enters freely, the outfit is tailored to fit. The neck area is also checked.

Summer minimalism

Casual outfits are needed for a cat only in the cold season. In summer, there is no need for insulation, but there is a need for stylish appearance. To give a zest to the image of a cat, but not to overdo it with an outfit, you can build a cute accessory for your pet - a bow tie.

By the way! Textile zest is also useful for photo shoots, when the animal urgently needs to find a home or present the cat to the public.

For sewing you will need:

• dense fabric;
• collar (you can use anti-flea);
• needles, thread and scissors.

So that the butterfly does not interfere with the cat enjoying life, you need to choose the appropriate size for crafts. First, the product should not be too large. A bulky accessory will interfere with the animal during meals and unnerve him during the rest of the day. Secondly, the craft should not smell obtrusively, rustle and put pressure on the throat.

Step 1. A rectangle with sides of 25 cm and 13 cm is cut out of dense fabric. It is also necessary to prepare a jumper for the butterfly. Its dimensions are 6x4 cm.

Step 2 If the cat does not wear a collar, a strip of the same fabric will come in handy for a tie, which will become a mount. Its dimensions are 50x5 cm. A long piece of fabric is folded in half lengthwise and sewn. A fastener is attached to the ends of the ribbon.

Step 3 A segment of 25 cm is folded in half and stitched into a ring. Next, this part is folded so that the line is in the middle.

Step 4 A small jumper segment is sewn into a miniature ring by hand, rounding the main part with it. The butterfly is straightened and the jumper is fixed in the middle of the craft with a hidden stitch from the inside. A piece with clasps or a collar is inserted under the tape.

How to train a cat to clothes

Regardless of breed, most adult cats react violently and negatively to the appearance of clothing in their lives. If the animal has not been dressed up before, it will be extremely difficult to accustom it to fashion. It is better if the first beauty session will take place on childhood. It is easier to teach a kitten not only rules, but also “manners”. It is advised to start the inoculation of the culture when the kitten reaches 1 month. The first outfits should not hamper movement and bring discomfort. It is better to choose natural lightweight fabrics in which the cub will be comfortable to run and play with other kittens.

By the way, the mother cat may not understand stylish look- it will interfere with the care of the baby. Therefore, the first fitting is best done when the cat is away on business. And it goes to constant wear better after weaning kittens from their mother.

Attention! Kittens are not very clean creatures, so with the decision to dress up a pet, the decision to wash his clothes should also mature. This is especially true of hairless breeds, whose skin secretes a special secret.

Fashion trends of the cat world

Craftswomen and cat lovers do not get tired of creating new and original models clothes for cats. Every year, unusual outfits for pets of hairless breeds become fashionable.

Lace does not lose its relevance, which is firmly entrenched in the top of the best outfits for cats.

The sweater is a warm classic for fashionable pets.

Clothing for a cat is a way not only to warm a pet, but also to give it a unique personality. Even a novice seamstress can sew stylish things for a pet. To do this, it is enough to arm yourself with a creative mood and simple patterns of cat outfits.
