My first project...
« on: March 11, 2019, 10:29:55 AM »
Hey everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this (please tell me if it's not!)

But I completed my first ever project recently. It's not something for my wardrobe, but my dogs, hope that counts  0_0
I made him this fleece onesie, just in time for the snow we had a couple of months back! It's far from perfect but I'm proud that I actually managed to finish something :)



I'd love to see if anyone else has made anything for their dogs too  :woof:

Next I'm making something for myself  :thread: x

Well done!  What a handsome chap - he looks toasty warm in his lovely fleece.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

That's fab @rachieface I wouldn't know how to begin anything like that  :loveit:

I've tried putting pics up of a couple of dog coats I made but the process eludes me  :S will get help from OH later.

Nice, but you forgot the two handles either side   :D
Now you need a matching fleece beanie.
