HeavenScentU Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My Jack Russells needed a new coat because it is freezing outside. Since I don't have anymore craft shows I finally had a chance to buy some material that was on sale and make them each a coat. The dogs seem to really like them so we will find out when they go for the daily walk. I had a 40% off coupon and it only cost me $10.00 for 2 coats. DH was impressed and my DIL and son want vests. I don't use patterns so they aren't perfect . I just eyeball it and hope for the best. Here is one pic. of my male. Sorry pics. aren't great. It is hard to get them to stay still especially my male.

Michi Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 OMG that is the cutest dog-my mom would want to steal him-she just loves Jack Russels! That coat is darling, especially since you didn't use a pattern and just whipped two of them out in no time. That's talent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Aw, sweet, warm puppy. I made fleece coats for my greys, and I sewed a strip to connect the sides, using velcro to to hold the strip in place. It fit more snug to the tummy and it made the coats stay in place better. That way, the coats were less likely to fly off when they shook or just ran and played hard. www.SunshineWaxWorks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I put a locking strap across the bottom with lining, but I am thinking I should have went with the velcro. I was worried about all the dog hair accumulating on the velcro. My dogs names are Dallas (Female) and Cowboy the male that is shown in the pic. I am a Dallas Cowboy fan. These dogs are sweetie pies but they are very high strung. Thanks for the comments. I don't like sewing but DH wanted something for them to wear for their daily walk. The ones I bought last year were knitted and just didn't keep the dogs warm, so that is why I decided to make these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thanks for all your nice comments. He is loves wearing his coat. Everyone that sees the dogs wearing their coats asks if I have a pattern. If I liked to sew I would probably make and sell these...LOL NOT!!!!
