Owen's the more chilly dog but I didn't have any "manly" patterned fleece.....so Laika got the coat. Which she pretty much hates. She has fear of velcro.
It's a little too long-I was trying to make it cover her butt for once.

I didn't use a pattern....My sister sent Laika a coat for Christmas that was thin and a little small so I kinda traced it but a little bigger and longer. I was going to use velcro at the neck like the original coat but just sewed the front together and thn it just slips over her head. She hates velcro (the sound) for some reason.

My big one hates velcro too, which is funny, because he sticks to me like he had some attaching us together.

She looks beautiful! :hearts: I'm glad someone else's dog has a fear of velcro. I thought Bogart was the only one. He freaks everytime I take his harness off. :scratch:

You did a great job on them--I also make my own pattern from stuff I buy--the prices on patterns are rediculous. Every coat I buy for Gunner looks like you made, if you want it manly then just pick a masculine color add some pockets or manly buttons. You did awesome, you can also add a belt. Give it the trench coat look.

I keep buying fleece remnants from wal-mart planning on making SOMETHING and that one was so bright and pretty I had to get it. I have enought to make another, even. And it was only 1.64!

Great job on the coat!! That's a great idea to sew the front together...Bailey doesn't mind velcro, but I mind sewing it!

Awww, it's not silly! I was a mod from the beginning, so I never got to be a little wiener! So, I guess I have :sausage: little wiener envy! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
