Dog clothing can be fun to make

The vest is completely lined with a fabric that has the design of the American flag. She was all set for July 4^th that year. I put Velcro fasteners on the closure for ease of closing the vest. Her name could have been embroidered on it but I didn’t do it for her vest. Although I did embroider the vest I made for my nieces dog. This pattern worked out so well I had people requesting to buy one.

I said ok and became very busy making vest and filling orders. But that didn’t leave me much time for anything else so I quit taking orders. If you are interested in making one of these vests it is a Simplicity pattern, not sure if it is still available but you could check out their catalog.

Crochet Dog Sweaters

Here are a couple of dog sweaters I have made. One is knit on a loom and the other is crocheted. You can find the pattern for each when you click on the picture.

Fashion Dog Collars

Many dogs have a coat so thick they don’t need any clothes other than a fashion dog collar or two. I have found a couple of light fabric shirts for Tiffany but that is pretty much just for looks. Collars and bows is about her limit on clothing.

But when it gets down in the teens and the wind is howling I do put a sweatshirt or sweater on her for her potty breaks. I don’t like to see them go outside with no protection at all from the frigid wind.
