OS dog coat - Done

So proud of myself today :j

Day off work so decided to try to make in indoor coat for our wee lurcher Rax.........result one hand sewn coat, a toasty warm dog and one OS Zaxdog bleeding gently while she opens a beer :D

Managed to make a pattern on some old mapping paper my previous office was chucking out and used an old fleece blanket to make the coat itself. Been years since I designed any patterns or did any hand stitching :j

Saved at least £5 on the coat and will drag the sewing machine down from the loft to make some more :T

    I made one for my greyhound out of 2 legs from some joggers,cut the waist band off, and then join the 2 legs up to the crotch.the curve will be the head hole,try on animal so you can see where you join the two waist bands, thats the bit that will go across the chest, sew some tape onto back enough to go round, and tie loosely on top.
    Do I need it or just want it.
