How about a matching coat for the dog then the two of you could step out in style!  :D :woof:

That's a lovely coat...I'm very impressed by how quickly you got on with it.

And I love the lining...it always pleases me to see someone has put 'special' lining, (or facings) in something.

Well, that’s given me the kick up the b** I need. How quick were you making your lovely coat, well done! I started the very same one way last winter. By spring still not finished and lovely summer fabrics were calling me so said coat was shoved in the wardrobe. You have shamed me into getting it out again, all it needs is shoulder pads, lining attached and buttons stitched on. Watch this space!

When I start making something, I do like to get on with it.  Often because I have another piece of lovely fabric I want to get on to  :P
