You guys are the absolute best!!
Thank you ALL so much for your kind words of encouragment!! I am absolutely blushing right now
from reading all of them!! What a wonderful YT page to read 1st logging in today. Plus, reading the compliments from our YT seamstresses, now that makes a girl proud
OK, now down to business, lol!
Jodie, I am realizing that about the D-rings! The original ones I bought, Koda had bent backwards the 1st day. I picked up diff ones yesterday (that seemed very durable) but they are split to, no matter how strong they seem, our sweet little furbutts are STRONGER!! Safety is my biggest concern also. Koda has destroyed several of them on previous items I am have purchased. At least now I will be able to fix them so he can use them again, rather than having them sit in the back of his drawer being unused! DH and I were trying to figure of where to get solid ones at, thank you for pointing me in the right direction of buying them online.
Cindy, I'm a long way from the for sale threads! But I'm very determined about making it a reality someday!! Making these few things has given me such self satisfaction. I love be ale to look at it and say "I DID THAT" I can't wait to be able to learn how to make custom things from just measurements. I found it's easier to go bigger than smaller so far lol! But going up on some parts and down on others all in the same item is what I need to learn!
hviloa, ya those pleats have been challenging! I'm working on getting them more evenly spaced, but it's hard!
Tnyorkiemom, I can't wait to see what you have done! Quality is my goal not quantity! I can't wait until I get my glitches figured out and am able to offer a few of my items. I'm usually not a perfectionist by any means, but with this I can't imagine sending out anything less than perfect to anyone! You guys are really going to push me to do my best!
yougetthesmiles, I'm still worrying about sewing my finger with my eyes open, lol!
To those wondering about a pattern. No I don't own a pattern for anything, lol! I have just been using the numerous harnesses I have purchased from different YT'ers, studying them, and using a good ole pencil and the back of my fabric to adjust things differently. I would never straight copy anything of anyones, that wouldn't make it my own so to say.
I'm want to be as original as I can. I know there is only so many ways to make harnesses, dresses, and things for our furbabies. That is where I am coming into some questions. For now I will just be purchasing my fabric from local chain stores. Do you YT'rs who sell, ever get upset when someone else comes up with the same fabric and similar design on something you have made though it happened unintentionally? I haven't seen any duplicates, but how?!?! With all the people who purchase from places like Walmart and JoAnns how do we NOT end up seeing several of the same fabrics?!?!? lol! I would never want anyone to think I was copying, but how do I prevent that? I suppose ordering online saves a lot of that worry due to the much bigger selection. That will come in time!
I have a lot to learn and who else to ask than the best!
I appreciate any and all of your thoughts and ideas, that is why I ask!
Once again Thank you everyone!
