I looked carefully at the shapes of clothes sold at the store and decided on a shape that I liked. I measured my dog and sewed scraps of corduroy from some old pants together to make the top. I cut an old sweatshirt for the lining and I used some fabric I folded and ironed to make a piping I sewed around the edges. I used velcro at the neck and waist to fasten. I sewed some elastic on the inside to pull over her back legs to keep the back of the coat in place. Now my dog will be toasty warm this winter!

Lovely idea. My two Tibby's just have arrived and now I have to get them some clothing done for the winter months, thank you :-)

Hillary!
You did a grand job. Love the patch design and all the custom fitting. You motivated me to try one myself :)

Hillary, you made such a nice coat...it's custom fit...better than any coat you could have bought in the store and it looks very nice on her! You could have your own business making custom fit dog coats!!!

Very Clever, and it looks so much better than
the store-bought stuff I've seen.
If you live in really cold country, you might devise
some "foot mittens" to keep her little feet off
the cold ground. Some doggies won't wear them,
but some will. You'll just have to try.
All the best to you,
