Designing & Altering an
Easy Dog Coat Pattern
 |
|
One of the first things to
keep in mind when making an easy coat or costume for you dog, is your dog!
You want him/her to feel comfortable in their outfit. After trial and
error, and much research, I have found that "Simplicity Pattern 4316" is a
very EASY dog pattern to work with.

No, I don't have stock in
Simplicity, nor do I prefer that pattern company over any other. I
have found, as both a sewing teacher, and a pet clothing designer, this
pattern can be changed and altered to accommodate my pet designs very
easily. All of the pet outfits below were designed and made from
this basic pattern. |

This easy pattern only has
ONE basic piece; more if you want to add a collar or a hoodie. If you look
real close at each dog coat, you will notice each outfit is the same
pattern, but designed very differently by the pet designers by adding
contrasting fabric, bows, lace, fringe, fur, rick-rack, embroidery,
buttons, and more. |
