This, being my first one, isn't perfect cuz that's the way I roll... I get impatient and don't change thread colors so my stitches show when they shouldn't, but here it is:
The pattern called for the cutout for the legs but not for a safety strap, so I improvised and made a buttonhole manually to thread the belt through. I zigzagged down one side, wide at the bottom, then zigzagged again back up and finished off with wide zigzag at the top. It looks just like a huge buttonhole. I just slit the center with small scissors and cut the opening, then put a seam on either side of the opening beside the zigzag stitches to keep it from raveling. Minkee sheds a bit, so this will keep it nice and neat. 
Should'a used white thread but like I said, I was over anxious and didn't really think about it, so you can see the buttonhole effect on the back.Here's the pattern... easy enough for even beginners! Few pieces to cut out, and you can do it from all the same fabric, I just used what I had.

I would love to try that but it looks a little hard for me. I will check it out though.
Valerie, I am so excited to find you again! It isn't hard to make at all, and I have some tips if you decide to give it a try. Just email me and I'll help out! :0)
