Would this pattern work with other materials?

[cyberseams]

Yes, you can use other fabrics. I'd go for medium to heavy weight fabrics though - denim, any upholstery fabric, heavier broadcloth, canvas, or you could recycle old blankets, pillows, jackets...

what did you do with the top part?

[cyberseams]

I threw it away. It had holes in it :)

[cyberseams]

Cedar chips are sometimes used in dog bedding to help control odor.
