Up until now, I never had a need to make a dog coat. Well, technically my dog still doesn’t need a coat. But does he want one? Well, perhaps. I just really felt like sewing one. It’s amazing what cleaning your sewing room will inspire you to do.
I found some adorable dog themed black, red and white dog fabric in my stash. With having the new puppy and all, I decided to make a dog coat. I purchased a pattern. Then I noticed that it was a downloadable pattern. I called the pattern company to see if I could purchase a number of downloads so that everyone participating would have the same pattern. I didn’t want to share the file, as that would be illegal under copyright laws. So, I have purchased numerous downloads from the pattern company that I can share with participants.
I decided it would be super fun to have a show of all of the dog coats. The dog coat pattern comes in x-small to large. The one that is pictured below is a medium. I am hoping that the puppy will fit a medium by November 6th. If not, I will borrow my daughter’s yellow lab.
Here are the details.
