Are there patterns available? Is a sewing machine necessary? I don't have any sewing experience beside home ec class in grade 8 lol. |
up until this past Dec I had not owned or sewn a thing since HS and I am 57 so that gives you an idea how long it's been, and I love it now. I have not bought one pattern. What I did was buy a harness vest that I loved on line and used that as a pattern. The gal sells off etsy her name there is Gracie Paws and her stuff is very very reasonable, for under 20 you could probably have a custom harness that you could see if you like the fit and work from that, of course Aymee and a bunch of other people use patterns, but me for some reason I have trouble using them, once you have a pattern that fits you just keep using it but change up the trim, fabric, color and you can try collars and so forth. LOL Yorkie Talk made me want to buy a sewing machine, which I just got around Oct.
