Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for letting me join!
I'm a designer and illustrator from South Wales with a keen interest in sewing. I've previously used it in my illustration work, but I want to get more into dressmaking and sewing stuff for my dog!
I'm still a beginner so I'll probably be needing lots of advice :D
Can't wait to chat with you all :)

Welcome @rachieface :flower: :drink:
-
@Fajita Thank you :)
-
@rachieface What sort of dog do you have? What do you envision making for him/her?
-
Welcome Rachel! Enjoy yourself here and ask away. :drink: :cake: We were all beginners at one time. Back in the Dark Ages for some of us, but still...
-
Hello and welcome!!
-
@Fajita I have a whippet :)
I think I want to start with a simple coat and then move onto something like a fleece (similar to the one he's wearing in the photo which he's grown out of now!) :)

@Renegade Sewist @Greybird Thank you! :)

Love that fleece! :D
One word of warning... don't take up knitting...

Welcome, Rachel.
-
Croeso Rachel. Your whippet picture made me smile - not what you expect when South Walians' whippets come to mind :)
-
Welcome from me, too @rachieface ! :toast:
-
Hi Rachel hope you'll enjoy posting here!
-
Ah! A proper dog! Remember nothing is whippet-proof, only whippet-resistant. Is that fleece still in one piece?
-
Hi Rachel, welcome. You've definitely found the right place for advice
-
Welcome from me too. :) :flower:

Hi @rachieface welcome to the forum. I love the pic of your whippet boy, he looks very young there. I have three loopy lurchers but only two of them will go for a walk and I am about to embark on another coat sewing project for them. Ordered the fleece and the fabric the other day :loveit:
I will attempt to post pics when they're done but I had a little, erm, trouble last time...

Haha very true! It is actually still in one piece, although he has grown out of it :'(

Thank you! He was only a few months old then. He's nearly a year old now :)
Aw lovely, can't wait to see what you make for them (if you manage to get a pic 0_0)!
