I don't have kids so I've never made any before but I wonder if doll clothes patterns would work, at least for strappy dresses(I don't know how big they are). Or baby clothes patterns at least for a guide. I know that the problem would be the arms sticking out instead of down but if its a sleeveless dress it should work.

Also someone mentioned the shirts that said things. I think I've heard of people using like baby onesies and such you could try getting a pack of those and making you're own custom shirts with fabric paint and rhinestones. You could even tear them for a rocker look or put your pups own pawprints on it. I bet they would come out real cute and be fun too. You just may want to check around to see if I'm crazy or if people really do put their dogs in the baby shirts.

Thank you Hickey007 for Tinkerbell's compliments. Great ideas too!

I think Tshirts would be so easy to do. I saw a dog shirt at wal-mart tonight that was so simple. I should have bought it so I could copy it. I think I'll go back tomorrow and get it.

I wish I had an embroidery machine to do my own sayings. But they are so expensive! Does anyone have one of those?

This is so cool, wish I had time to take it up and try. Of course they would probably be not fit to wear. LOL

Jodi that little dress for your baby is so cute I would love to have one for Sydnee.

HI Victri, Thanks for the compliments!
I just sent you a PM.

I had previously mentioned decorating baby onesies for your pup. Well I tried it today they turned out pretty good I think. You really wouldn't have to sew anything if you didn't want to either. I sewed the edging on the pink one, but you could either hot glue it or just leave it off like I did on the Audrey Hepburn one(I'm a big fan of A.H.). I got that picture off the internet and printed it right on fabric then sewed it and some felt on, but again you wouldn't have to sew you could use iron transfer paper(that was my original intention but I didn't have any) or glue. Or like I said earlier fabric paint would work too.

The first picture is where I cut it. I just used a coat that I had as a guideline for the curve. I used a newborn onesie and it is a little big but they have premie onesies and they might work better. Also I wish I would have cut them just a tad shorter and the picture should have definately been smaller but oh well, I'll know next time...

I really think its a cute idea that you guys should try. Then your dog will be walking around with a shirt that you know noone else has. Plus when someone says its cute you can say "Thanks I made it myself". It really was easy I promise.

I broke down went shopping at Wally World for Sydnee, only found a few preemie things. Evidently Sydnee still needs to grow a bit. I had to roll the sleeves of the little jacket all the way up to the arm pit of the garment and it was still too big for her. In fact there was room enough for her and the preemie baby. My son just kept laughing and laughing.

Its so cute, its mint green with a little hood.

Here I thought she was such a big girl. which reminds me. I need to send something to chloeandj, until this moment the sometimers had kicked in again.

I have got to get a new brain, this one keeps going out to lunch with my Mother and just doesn't come back. Maybe threatening to fire it for such long lunches would help.

I have a a couple of dress patterns but would like to get more.

How would you all feel about doing a community pattern bank or something. Just an idea

I just found some patterns on ebay. I'm bidding on them. If I get them, maybe I can scan and add an attachment. Maybe that's copyright infringement?? Well I want to be legal and share.

Does anyone have a dress pattern I could buy from you, or you could lend to me.

[JUDY's2yorkies]

Yes, I make them all the time...send me an email at my home account and I will share the pattern and all that you need...goats24now@aol.com,,will be home at 5:15 mountain time

[JUDY's2yorkies]

Yes I have an embroidery machine,its a bernina,but no time to use it,gee somethings arent fair

[Marlee]

I still think we should make a dress pattern bank of sorts, would be nice to get more ideas on dresses and such. right now Bridget has a bunch of diffrent dresses but all the same style.lol
