Making Dog Clothes Out Of Baby Clothes

Making Dog Clothes Out Of Baby Clothes
I got a puppy for my birthday. He's a Chihuahua and gets very cold but I didn't want to spend that kind of money to buy dog clothes, so I went to the thrift store and bought a bunch of baby clothes and turned the legs, arms, and torso of the baby clothes into doggy shirts, p's, hoodies, and a pup pouch.

The pup pouch is so that I can zip him (its actually a bag with a hood on it) to keep him warm but allowing me to carry him around outside without having to wrap him up in my coat and getting covered in little black dog hairs. These are the first things I've sewn in a very long time! Please let me know what can I do differently? Thanks!

You know what's funny? My sister always thought it might be cruel to put clothes on dogs, UNTIL she figured out that HER little dog actually LIKES to get dressed up! What happens is: Whenever my sister gets the box with the dog clothes out of her closet, her dog starts jumping up & down. And when my sister picks out what the dog will wear that day, the dog takes it in her mouth & runs around the house with it, then brings it back for her to put it on. My-Oh-My! The dog actually LIKES to get dressed up! Surprise, surprise!

I bought my 8 month old dachshund a sweater and he won't keep it on. He just chewed on it. I see all these cute photos and wonder why my dog is so stubborn that he won't wear anything. I have to fight him to get his collar on. Love him anyway.

Adorable, great job! I have done this for a long time, buying cute baby clothes for my tiny yorkie. I used to get the cute Christmas kitchen towels adding velcro to make him quick coats. With my shihpoo I do the same thing I buy infant clothes and adjust to his size though the 3 month vests fit him perfect and I prefer the sweater type. I did find a lot of cute fuzzy fleece vest and they have buttons
so cute. I think your doggie is precious and quite the model! If you run into sizing problems velcro is quick fix and easy.

Your idea is great and lots will learn. I always cut arms off old sweaters for doggie. I just got some cute sweaters for doggin on clearance at a pet store. We just go to visit.
Have fun and enjoy your furbaby.

Those are very cute, you did a nice job. I have two Chis and they love their fleece. I have made them coats out of it and they have tons of fleece blankets all over the house. We live in a cold climate (SD) so they have heating pads in their beds, which I leave on low ALL WINTER. If there is a spot of sun....they find it. Mine are adults and very small about 4 pounds each.

I made a nightgown for Ginger out of a leg of a flannel pair of pajamas. She just loves her new pink nightgown.
