Hi Everyone,

I have been a lurker for a while, reading and sitting back quietly taking many of the great posts here. I think this a wonderful place to meet other yorkie lovers and learn plus share tips about caring for our little furbabies...

I have a question, and I placed it in this section because I do plan to show my male. He is 8 months old and while I wait for his gorgeous coat to grow out I am doing my best to keep his coat the best I can. I have looked at some silk dog beds, and thought to myself, "I should try making my own!" Now whether or not I will be able to accomplish this succesfully, (after all it has been about 10 years since I touched a sewing machine) I want to use fabrics that will be good to my lil guy's hair. Sooo....will faux silk do ok instead of silk? I am finding some really nice patterns and designs that are labeled "faux silk" so I am wondering if it is ok to use?

Thank you in advance!
