I've had this pattern for a while now, it's been sitting idle for a couple of years in my pattern collection. I haven't even tried it yet! Today seemed like a good time to try it out, so I did.
Now that I have my Etsy shop, I have a good excuse to make multiple items. I chose some fabrics and started cutting. It's nice to be able to use up my smaller pieces of minky fabric. That will make a nice warm dog coat.
The coat looks more like a small horse blanket. Maybe I should make one for Libby's Barbie doll horse. She might like that.
I chose several combos and started putting them together. The pattern calls for two thin straps to go under the belly of the dog, but I think one wide strap would work better.
I finished them off with velcro and then I was ready to dress my dog! Penny wasn't such a willing participant in my quest to make her adorable. Apparently, she thinks she's cute enough without a coat. Ha!
