A little self promotion...

I recently recieved the cutest thank you video from a new customer, and now new friend. She then proceded to make 2 more videos of my 2 dogs - promoting my shop. She did such a great job - and the dogs are talking!! I put them together in one video for all to enjoy.




Here is my new customer Sophie in the first hat that she ordered which prompted these videos:




And here she is with her mom, Kelly, in the new St Patrick's day outfit I made for her, with matching visor:

Thanks to Sophie and Kelly for working on these videos. You did a great job.
And Happy St Patrick's Day.

Making of a St Paddy's day dog vest

Due to popular demand, of one person, here are some pics for the making of a dog vest.

Materials needed - tape measure, thread, bobbin, pattern pieces - most made of paper towels, D-Ring, white buttons, shamrock buttons, scissors, pen, customer info sheet, pins, dress makers label, vest fabric, white shirt fabric.

I covered the dining table with a flannel back table cloth to protect the table.

Cut out all the pieces:

Here are all the pieces cut out and ironed, and fabric label has been stitched into the back of the shirt:

Sew the vest pieces first:

Pin the center piece and the vest pieces to the shirt front and stitch in place:
