| The fabric stores also offer deals on patterns, or you can always try ebay. My only advice for you is to keep trying and don't give up if your first attempt looks funny. I kept trying, but I just don't have the patience to sew. lol. Good luck and be sure to post pics when you make something!

| I really didn't like any of the patterns, so I used my dogs to create custom templates. Once I find something that works, I make a pattern from it -- but it also helped that I have 4 different sized dogs . |

| patterns I too used my dog to create a pattern and now i can custom off that pattern. You can get patterns from walmart, just look in the books under craft and find the one you like and go pull it from the drawer it is easy as that but i cannot use there patterns that is why i created my own. I agree with the first one looking funny. When i started sewing almost 3 years ago now the dress i made for sassy was cute but she couldn't walk in it. I didn't take into consideration that it couldn't be an enclosed dress. That poor girl it was so funny. Like they said below keep trying you will get it. If you email me i can make a custom fit pattern for you dog for a small fee. I will cut it to where it will fit your pet beautifully including seam allowances. Email for pics of the styles. thanks Melinda sassy-petwear |

| Simplicity has a few patterns with sleeves. Sleeves is a whole other realm for me, and not in a good way. Sewing in a circle around a small opening drove me crazy, so I've been avoiding sleeves since then. One day I will revisit but I'm not ready yet |

| I am trying to master the sleeve outfit as well. They are easy enough to make but when you offer custom fit the neck is always to big. So the patterns you buy just don't work properly. I am trying to create one that can be custom fit instead of just the standard size because most pets i make for are not standard sizes. Its just there isn't much time to work on it lately. Good luck finding it but if you want to just buy some t-shirts go to lovelonglong.com and they have some plane t-shirts that are reasonable. I use to buy them and embroider on them for my babies but i wouldn't re-sale them. Melinda sassy-petwear |

| No the quality was actually pretty good for mass produced items but in my store i offer custom hand made clothes and I really couldn't advertise those as being mine so i just didn't. I like to keep it honest. And yes i try to do top quality work and to sell t-shirts isn't really top quality when they are mass produced but given that they were pretty good just to lounge around in.
