| Sewing Doggy Dresses -- Isn't it rewarding? i've found this new hobby of mine to be completely consuming my life! and i'm just amazed on how much money i save on dog clothes. I pay about $2 for the material, and BAM! I'm done. |

YT 1000 Club Member | So true it is the cheaper way to go in dressing our babies. I look at the stuff they sell in the stores and pat myself on the back that the dresses I make look 10 times better. I buy alot of clearance material and fat quarters. |

| Sewing is a great way to dress up your babies and save $$$$. I use to sew for my skin kids when they were growing up and think I suffered from burn out! But living in Florida and wearing full coats, well, clothes are just not practical! But my hat goes off to those that can and do wear and sew the clothes for their furbabies.

| i decided that once i practice a bit; i'll sell them. I'm just afraid to charge people in case they come out bad i think it will go around $13 at most, to be honest. |

| Wow, you did a great job. Your outfits are adorable. Personally, sitting in front of a sewing machine is like having a gun to my head - a situation I wouldn't want to be in!

YT 1000 Club Member | Sookie, Thank you. Maggie and my boys are the best dressed furbabies in my neighborhood.. Some people are just meant to have greatness in other areas. Yorkie Luv of 3 Thank you Simplicity 2531 is the newest pattern that is the one used on the pink dress. Sometimes I let my imagination run and see what I come up with. |
