  1. These things cost a fortune to buy. A much better idea that I’ll have to give a try!

    1. Thanks Abena! It’s lasted nearly 3 years now and still has daily adventures! 😀

  2. Awesome!!!!!! THANK YOU for posting this!!! I soooo need to make one of these with lace instead of the t-shirt fabric as a photo prop for some mini-sessions that I want to have out in a field!! It will be so PERFECT!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!!!!!!!!

    1. A lace version would be stunning…and styled in a field? Gorgeous!

  3. I think my next project will be to make a very small, cat-sized one. We’ve got some cupboards above the fridge with about 2ft of clearance between them and the ceiling (the cats access it from the other side via catwalk) and this would be less of an eyesore than the cardboard box we’ve got up there for them to hide in. Thanks for the idea!

  12. Love this! What a fab idea, and to think of all the money I just spent on a play house!!

  13. Very clever refashion!

  14. That is amazing. I may have to make one specifically FOR the dog…

    1. Agreed! I think I have to make another one for the furry boy or the munchkin will never get a chance at hers…poles about half the size & a dowdy calf-length skirt from my stash should do it =O)
