| would you be willing to share a little I was just wondering how people would feel about sharing their patterns for clothing for these little guys. I know that many of us have the talent and our own ideas we have tried. I also know from looking around at the fabric stores there is not much available as far as patterns. I would be willing to share mine if others would share with me as well. 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 would love it. Do they have patterns in the regular pattern books? We could probably make a pattern by tracing a vest we already own even. I don't have any patterns but would support the idea for sure! |

| That was my problem. I have looked through the pattern books here like simplicity, buttericks etc, and the only had one for a jacket, and I was not impressed to say the least. For mine I have used patterns I have traced from clothing I already bought for Bridget. The ones I have are simple but very cute and can change easily with diffrent fabric or pattern. I really hope people will want to do this because I have seen stuff on this site I would love to make for my furbaby.

| I don't have any patterns but I would love to have ome easy ones. I don't sew well, but I think I could do it if I had a simple pattern. If you don't mind sharing with me, I'd really appreciate it! Sorry I don't have any to share back! |

| I have a Simplicity pattern # 8928 uncut and also a McCall's M4686 one pattern cut on. Anybody is more than welcome to borrow it if needed. (If you go online it will show all the stuff these both patterns make)

| I think its a great idea. I've been looking on the internet for patterns(mainly t-shirts and such) and couldn't find any. I'm really considering making one up if I do and it turns out ok I'll be happy to give it up. I also have a couple of simplicity patterns, this is the only one I've tried but it really turned out kind of cute(it is a coat though).

| HI, I'm looking for dress patterns. What do you have already and what are you looking for? I have coat patterns, costumes, and a few more. I will have to dig through the drawer and see what else I have, I can't remember. I'd love to see some of everyone's creations, please post more pictures! |

| Does anyone know how to make those stiff ribbon topknot show bows. I know there is a solution you put the ribbon in to make it stiff. Anybody make their own??? Thanks |

| Jodi, there is a solution for making the ribbons stiff. I can't remember what it is called, but you get it at a craft store or maybe the craft dept. at WalMart. |

| Oh I am excited. I think we could pull together quite a collection if everyone was willing. I know my closet can never be to full of cutie pie clothes for Bridget.

| Yorkie Clothes This is a little off topic and I apologize for intruding on this post, but I was wondering if those of you who could sew would be willing to help others of us who are sewing challenged (that would definately be me! ) by making clothes for our puppies too. Perhaps we could work out something like we could by the material and supplies (including enough for your puppy too) if you would sew. Or, we could send reasonable monetary compensation, if that would be preferred. Sorry, I just can't afford $30 - $40 per yorkie outfit. I don't even spend that on my kids clothes unless it is for something special! LOL Just a thought.

| Amen Tara. I can't sew to save my life! My mom was looking into making some things for me and we found that after buying all the materials, etc, paying to ship them to me from her (she's in Nebraska) that it was actually cheaper to buy from barkingdogclothes.com. I'd still like to learn to sew, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I admire everyone who does, I tried it when I was younger and got SO frustrated when I made mistakes, I'm scared to try again!

| I can sew for others!!! I cannot speak for the others but I would be more than happy to make clothes for more than just my dog. Heck I already clothe Bridget and Crystal (my daughters cat). I guess it just depends on how you want your stuff. I am a girlie girl, ok at least my dog and cat are...lol which means I do lots of frilly lace and bows... sorry boys, just dont have a boy of my own yet
