| look what i made! since dexter is still a pup and quite small, i couldnt find very many clothes to fit him. its cold here now so i knew i needed to do something...so i took up sewing!! the pictures below are of two different sweater vests i made (and a little matching festive pillow ) i would love some advice from any more experienced sewers on how to sew on a D ring properly! if you can see from the pics, i make two little cuts and sew it on the back side...but it causes the material to pucker. i also dont like the look of a full stip down the back since i think it would take away from the pattern on the sweater. anyway, i think its pretty good for a first attempt with a sewing machine! (i did almost throw the machine out the window a few times ) any advice is welcome! oh, and isnt the model a little cutie too?? i made a couple holiday dresses for my sisters chihuahua too, but thought it would be cruel to dress dexter us in them! lol. maybe i will anyway just to show them off too. hahaha. poor little man! thanks for looking |

| You did VERY WELL! Your baby is precious! I love his little ears! Most people put the D-Ring under a piece of fabric that they sew to the vest and then sew on top and bottom of the D-ring to secure it.. Good luck!
