Merchant & Mills Barka Dog Coat Sewing Pattern
A beautifully made sewing essential from Merchant & Mills.
Treat your favourite walking companion to a handmade coat with the Barka Dog Coat Pattern from Merchant & Mills. Designed for adventurous dogs of all shapes and sizes, this thoughtfully designed pattern creates a practical, comfortable coat that looks as good as it performs.
Suitable for advanced beginners, the pattern includes two construction options: a neatly lined version with bound edges or a fully bagged-out lined coat for a professional finish. With sizes ranging from XS to XL, it fits everything from small terriers to larger breeds.
Choose from practical fabrics such as oilskin, canvas, twill, denim or corduroy to create a coat that's perfect for country walks, chilly mornings or everyday adventures. The accompanying instruction booklet includes clear guidance on measuring your dog and selecting the correct size.
Even better, 10% of sales from every Barka pattern are donated to Dogs Trust UK, helping to support dogs in need.
Beautifully presented in Merchant & Mills' signature packaging, it's an inspiring project for anyone who enjoys making something both useful and beautifully crafted.
