Charlie's new Pink Coat
I have been looking for a nice coat for Charlie, but the ones I see at the pet stores do not seem to fit her nor cover her right. She has this long and narrow body with long neck..... I found this fake pink suede remnant at Walmart for $5.00, and found the free pattern for dog coat on the web.
So, here's my holiday craft! I think it turned out to be pretty cute!

You know Kyoko, I think this is special enough that it deserves a showing on the main page, maybe a blog?

This is the pattern that I followed. Only thing was that, this pattern calls for fleece, which is a little stretchy fabric. So, this jacket pattern is pull over. Since the fabric I used is not stretchy, I left one of the side seam open and put the velcro closure on the "belt" part of the coat to be fasten behind the bow. As you can see, the chest part got wet quickly. May be that's why most of commercial coats do not have the chest coverage and just a buckle to fasten... -

How precious!! You did an amazing job and Charlie looks like a princess. I think she must feel like one too. Maybe you could use a water repellant spray to coat to belly of the coat like is used on suede boots and jackets.
