A doggy draught excluder by Debbie Shore

How to make a scotty dog draught excluder, cute and practical!

[@lgparker4726]

I made a similar one of these 48 yrs ago and my baby son fell in love with it. It got dragged everywhere for years. I made a second one when it got tatty but that didn't smell the same, so the old one got patched and patched. (I just put felt eyelashes on mine.) This brought back so many lovely memories: thank you.

[@deborahbeattie9103]

This will be my first sewing project in over 20 years. I appreciate how simple you have made it, no need for a pattern and such a fantastic end result. Many many thanks!

[@bethanyspriggs]

I love this, but I wish there were measurements

[@tracybrewer5750]

Totally adorable I love this product. Thanks again for your wonderful videos

[@Pcrgirl]

Such a great and easy pattern, thank you for sharing, I will be making a few of these as great gifts.

[@arrydaisy]

And another great video, very clearly explained , keem 'em coming debs, thank you so much for getting me back into sewing after so many years

[@joycox3992]

I love Alfie too! in this one he is watching so seriously!

[@denisecook8561]

Love your boxer!

[@idaaugusta1279]

I wanted a heavy draught excluder, so I filled mine with generic brand kitty litter. This makes it easier to push it right up to the gap at the bottom of the door.

[@debbieshore]

That is such a good idea!

[@lynnval33]

Did you bag up the litter in net

[@Top2tow]

This will make a lovely Christmas present. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos.

[@mrsnetrix]

I'm loving these vids. ( and your sewing machine) just realised "Santa" brought me my machine when I was about 13 -eek 30 yrs ago!!! Id love an upgrade :)

[@jeanpurdue6764]

Hi loved this and also your ideas for other dogs. Great videos and find them very easy to follow. thank you.

[@47114711emma]

Ah, bless him, around 3:20 in the lovely Alfie is watching all you do. taking it all in!!

[@torageirs6473]

You really are amazing, it´s so much fun to watch your video and I think it´s so cool how you make your pattern along the way, using different items.

[@amandadavis9104]

What a lovely and useful project!

[@angelacarberry6055]

As usual a great tutorial, thanks Debbie

[@craftymom7]

Nice job Debbie. So very cute!

[@debbieshore]

I don't do a door stop as yet, but I'll have a think... Glad you liked the vid, Deb

[@godschild3547]

U make the cutest things Debbie💟!!

[@tracyparnham8694]

I know the main pieces are 36ins long - but what is the height ?

[@debbieshore]

Glad to have inspired you! Thanks for the comments... Deb x

[@jimmie200]

Really cute. I am wondering if your dog, as he sits there, is thinking, "I can't wait until she gets finished with my new toy".

[@marinak7322]

Hi all, Debbie you are very creative, thanks for inspiration.... i find useful and practical (price wise) buying pillows (for stuffing) from second hand shops, just give it a nice TLC (Wash, disinfect with peroxide) and good to go ....

[@debbieshore]

Marina K Glad you like it!

[@mariecraig239]

Loved this very sweet!

[@theheartofpaul]

Wow I think I'm in love.

[@junemitchell1749]

Another fab creation, I made you chicken door stop and it looks fantastic

[@susanedwards3111]

Am having a go using a tartan fabric. A few more measurements would be helpful. I am trying 7 ins ht. love your videos, thank you .

[@ploosher1]

i love this debs, amanda, jolly designs x

[@janiespencer7767]

This the second item I have made with your help, and must say your videos are great and make everything so easy. Thank you. Do you have a fabric door stop to go with this item.

[@Ibeleiveintherapture2023]

I can't wait to try this exciting

[@joycox3992]

I'm going to do mine as a daschound!

[@debbieshore]

Great idea!

[@01Jazzyfizzle1]

This is so adorable

[@pghphyl]

Deb, i know i am just new to your site; dont know if you read year old comments but have to say "that is the cutest scotty dog I have ever seen." He's not quite as handsome as Alfie though! would love to see more videos. i am new, but i am a big fan of yours. xoxo

[@annagugliotta4013]

grazie Debby molto bello

[@loverrlee]

Seems like it could be used as a nice neck pillow too! 😇

[@leannadodman1602]

Love it 😙❤

[@cwfan2]

I think I would attach the ears and legs with velcro. That little dog would be in the washing machine every other day at my house.

[@christianabacon9258]

u r amazing! thanx thanx thanx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@ndwijesuriya]

I'll make this cute doggy. thank you so much Debbie

[@sandradawson9669]

Hi I love both your dogs. Can you give measurements for the body , legs , ears and tail please? Thank you

[@ecureuil85]

How long do you think this would take for a complete beginner with no sewing machine?! Also how do you do the extra stitching on the bottom after you've turned it inside out & stuffed it, is there a name for it? Obviously I don't want the ends of the fabric showing.. thanks :)

[@debbieshore]

ecureuil85 I use a ladder stitch to close the opening, an over edge stitch would be okay, you don't really see these stitches as they're underneath the dog. I've not made it without a sewing machine, so I don't really know how long it would take, half a day maybe?

[@dogandcatmum]

hi Debbie please can tell me what is the best glue to use? thank you for all your great videos.

[@debbieshore]

+dogandcatmum I use Collal or Guttermann wet glues, hope that helps!

[@dogandcatmum]

hi all for my waddring I see if anyone has a old sofa with the waddring filled cushions and I use that as well as old pillows too it can save a lot by doing this hope it helps.

[@debbieshore]

dogandcatmum good idea!

[@lesleywolstenholme3161]

Great thank you.

[@Dibdib35]

Great tutorial Debbie. Can I ask you where you get your wadding, I find it quite expensive the places I have tried. Thank you.

[@debbieshore]

For things like this I buy inexpensive pillows with a hollowfibre filling, much cheaper than kapok!

[@Dibdib35]

Great thank you. Absolutely love your videos have learnt so much I'm a newbie to sewing. Keep up the great work you do. :-)

[@angelacarberry6055]

36 inches by what ?

[@moiraleroux7047]

All i need is a "template" pls!!

[@mariaemiliatenorio792]

Gosto muito das suas ideias tenho seguido mas, se fosse traduzido seria melhor!

[@MrCheljack]

Hi Debbie you told us that it was 36" but you didn't say the depth please

[@grandmabarbs175]

I can't find that size either....

[@heidiwhiteside8571]

She didn't say, but I would guess about 6-8 inches by the 36? Debbie, can you please help with the body height!?

[@alfredstclair192]

do you make this in cat I am getting asked a lot for a cat but I have never made one? thank you.

[@debbieshore]

I haven't made a cat I'm afraid.. try a rounder face and longer tail!

[@mariaemiliatenorio792]

Gostaria que fosse em português!

[@martinenoel3829]

Prouver vous me donner le patron en français

[@JollyRose143]

could i please have the pattern ? thank you

[@debbieshore]

There isn't a pattern I'm afraid...

[@wendyireland6816]
