The poodle turns into a snow leopard  0_0

I more or less managed to make a pattern from one of her bought suits, it wasn't easy trying to make a dog-body shape thing into flat pieces.

I thought it was best to use safety pins when I was fitting it better round her tail end  :S

That'll confuse the pussycats in the area!

Your dog is so well behaved.. and totally adorable.  :)

She looks wonderful, but she does also look slightly annoyed with you!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

She's not so well behaved really, and she was annoyed at being dragged off her bed and put on the grooming table.
She's rather scruffy at the moment, she was due to go to the groomer next week, but of course they are closed, so I'm waiting for some conditioner and de-tangling spray to arrive, then it's baths and clipping for them both next week.

Wonder how long before the first reports in the local press of wild cats being spotted in the vicinity.

Has anyone spotted that she's only got three legs in it? I'd started to take it off, then thought I must take a pic, and it was too much effort to put both back legs back in  :laughing:

@Bodgeitandscarper How did you go about making the pattern please? I am trying to do the same thing. I have an existing version in the right size. Thanks

@Curious Gem It wasn't easy, but I found that by folding in half the sections like the top and the tummy, I could get them a bit flatter to draw round.  I also took measurements where I could.  Hope that helps!
