Dog coat

Hi all, well this snow looks like it is going to stay!! My poor little dog Duke doesn't appear to like the cold too much so instead of splashing out silly amounts for a coat for him I made him one . I had the material at home so thought why not?! The pattern has come from a Martha Stewart pattern book, I have used a red fleece so he is snugly and a brown cord material for the top. I have used quilting in the middle and added a tartan collar for my Scottish hubby. Very pleased with my first effort getting there on the pattern / material front. Hope you like.

Happy new year x

Hi all, first day back in the shop today and it has been a busy one! Been great catching up with you all ! Managed to get all the new Do craft goodies out and off the tables, looking great loads to pour over :) only got a few bits left on the steampunk side , this has been very popular.
I managed to finish the dress I began to make a few weeks ago! So very impressed as it was my first ever dress, I used a pattern and my new machine, it has pleats in the side and fits a treat! Had Logan be the model so I could pin the collar on, not sure he was too impressed.
