I've managed to alter the doggie onesie pattern and cut out a new version, though I had to piece it. Not got much further than that.

@Acorn there's an opening for the tail (and an open belly area) so plenty of room for wagging the tail.
This afternoon's task is trying to work out quite what's wrong with my pattern - my knowledge of doggy anatomy is poor.
I do have a purchased one to copy, but I can't take it apart so where the single piece covers neck, shoulder, armhole type area its a bit hard to trace.

Maddie came over for a fitting, and folks we are not quite there yet - some issue in the front chest/front legs area. I will compare to the sample again and see what I need to do.
Meanwhile Maddie's owner wants me to make him a shearling waistcoat to wear under a coat....

this is a great blog post with a free pattern and assembly instructions, so between my attempt at copying the existing one and these pictures and instructions I should think I can manage something.
I had some yellow fleece I was going to donate... it's now going to be a coat for Maddie
The yellow fleece wasn't large enough so I cut up a blue checked blanket instead.

My friends have adopted a young rescue dog of mixed breed but medium sized, slender and with fairly fine hair. After a walk, particularly if she's got wet, they put her into something I'm going to call a doggie onesie made of fleece.
They've given me the best fitting one to make a pattern so between us we can turn fleece blankets into more doggie onesies.
It's not overly complex, sort of like a poncho which joins up round the legs but is open at the belly and rear.
Wish me luck....

Sew Ruthie Sews' entry #4 Reversible Placemats
I sewed up some double sided placemats with sailing boats on one side and whales on the other.
I followed a video from YouTube on how to trim the wadding just outside the stitch line.

I hand sewed the opening closed and did a few rows of stitching to hold things together. I used the size of the other purchased placemats we have (smaller than the video).

Sew Ruthie Sews' entry #3 A Whale of a Cushion
I made a large cushion for the sofa. It uses panels from a rather flimsy cotton bag from Whale and Dolphin Conservation and some fabric in a whale print. I interfaced the main graphic panel and added blue textured flanging and then the whale print fabric. For the back I used some plain blue fabric and added a button closure.
As this came out a unique size, I also made a cushion insert which I filled from 4 smaller cushions.
