| Go to your fabric store and look at the pattern books - they're usually in the back of the books - I forget what they are listed under - perhaps as crafts. Bad memory! Also, be sure to do a search on YT. There are some things on here. And, finally, go to GOOGLE and put in "Yorkie Clothes Patterns" and also try different terms, such as "doggie clothes patterns", etc... I wish you luck. I used to make some things many eons ago - before they had patterns for doggies. I hope someday to do it again. Have fun, too!

| Another one to GOOGLE is "Free Dog Patterns For Sewing". Look at all of the links it brings up and see if you find anything you would like to try, too.

| Oh, and if you go to youtube.com, you can search for bed instructions and whatever you want to learn how to do!

| A very easy pattern is Kwik Sew 3260. It is discontinued, but sometimes you can find it on eBay. I use fleece, so only need to sew a neck seam and Velcro. It wraps around the tummy and keeps them dry. It can be worn as a nightie or outside for a coat. If made of fleece, you can even cut a little slit to slip the D ring of the harness through. Sometimes I double the fleece and just sew around the edges with a decorative zig zag stitch. The pattern is in 5 sizes. I even made a fleece wrap for a larger dog (pointer).

Senior Yorkie Talker | these are some great ideas.. I'm so excited.. Like I need to find another hobby to do. I work third shift full time as a nurse and am going to school fulltime.. need more hours in the day, but I think making him some clothes can help relax and I will have something great to show for it. plus I will save tons of money hehehe |

Hate to tell you that you won't...Because EVERY time you walk in to a fabric store, you'll pick up material or another pattern that your baby just HAS to have. LOL.
