How long ago did you start? Have you always sewn or is this new because of your desire to have the best dressed Yorkies

? I normally don't ask all these questions, but I am truly impressed

Superstarkba · 10-21-2007, 05:19 PM

Oh, its ok. I ask a lot of questions to. I started abour 3-4 weeks ago. I started doing a dog blanket bc I bought the fabric in the wrong size, then I did a stocking, then I was inspired to do dog clothing. Theres a lady at my work who has taught me how to do it, somewhat. I would take my machine to work and work on it a little bit there, that was just with the blankets and stockings. She then taught me how to do clothing, and walked me through it. I made a few things that didnt turn out great in the very beginning but I was expecting that. I am learning more and more each time. That dress isn't perfect, but its decent for me!!!

I was also inspired bc BF said that I coudlnt buy any more clothing, and I said if I can make it can I dress them, and he said yes. I guess he thought that I coudln't do it!!

You go Girl! I just saw Mr. Aubrey's vest! Your BF must be very impressed! Only 3-4 weeks

Superstarkba · 10-21-2007, 05:27 PM

Haha.. go get on it!!

He is impressed but doesn't want me to dress Aubrey!!!

Get camo...it worked for me

SugarMama · 10-21-2007, 05:30 PM

You are doing such a great job! I love it! I actually have a sewing machine but only know how to sew straight (okay, they don't really turn out straight) lines. I'm intimidated by the patterns. I need to just make myself walk through it step by step and I'm sure I could (maybe) figure it out. You're inspiring me to get started. Keep up the great work!

I haven't used those patterns that you use at the store, I used a picture off the computer and blew it up and luckily it fit the size of Dakota.

Okay, I'm even more impressed if you can make that dress w/out an actual pattern.
