I have been sewing up a Christmas Storm and will have to take a few pictures. I have been trying to experiment with different styles.
On facebook I have seen dogs in fancy quilted harness vests so I thought I would try making one. I had a neighbor teach me how to make quilted fabric which we did it in a diamond pattern on cranberry colored velvet. I then made the vest and added gold and rhinestone beads on the cross lines of the diamond pattern. I added huge bow, I was so pleased with this, it came out very elegent and might be the best thing I have made.
I also decided to try making some outfits out of fancy Christmas napkins and placemats that I do not use. And since I wanted a few different looks with the same Christmas napkin I made two detachable skirts for it. I had an old dress with a beautiful red curly tutu, and since I no longer liked the bodice I cut it apart and ran Velcro along the waist area of the tutu. The other skirt is a green and gold stripe. So now I have three different looks made from one bodice. LOL I am calling it "From Sporty to Evening"
I was given some fabric that I love, it is a navy background filled with light blue and silver sparkle Christmas ornaments. I combined two materials for the skirt and made a big bow out of Christmas sparkle ribbon and attached a few tiny Christmas ornaments to the bottom of the bow.
I have one more outfit to make that will be from the placemat which is deep green velvet with gold swirls. I bought taffeta in red and green plaid to use on the other side and taking a page from Dawn I am going to try to make it reversible and it will have a gold skirt.
I must say Lola sure does not need all these Christmas outfits BUT I am surprised on how much pleasure I get from making them.
LOL I know this post would be better with pics but have been too busy sewing to take any.
