| I love your patterns and tutorials! I'm also a sewer - though with Wally around, I haven't been able to spend as much time at my machine as I could before. I will definitely give the harness pattern a try...I might even make him one out of fleece for the cold mornings. Thanks for sharing!

| Thanks everyone! I'm going to be posting more tutorials - a fleece dog bed is definitely coming soon. I'd also like to make a pattern for another style of carrier. I have lots of non-dog related ideas as well, it's so fun to keep making stuff for Sam & Loki Is there anything you would like to know how to make? Basically the way I decide between pattern & tutorial is how complex the instructions and design are (and therefore how much time I spend on it - tutorials take me a day or two, patterns take several weeks). For things like the harnesses with multiple sizes - every dog is different and so I couldn't possibly sell a pattern with every size so I just made a tutorial showing HOW to make the harness, and posted Sam & Loki's sizes. I've made hanging bells, but they were so simple I just posted the finished picture, but that is something I would happily post a tutorial for if there is an interest! If you want to follow me you can subscribe to my RSS feed or come "Like" me on Facebook! Please come visit and comment too! I love comments because otherwise I feel like I'm just writing to myself sometimes

| Love it! I think you do a pretty good job explaining things. I have a hard time following direction like this and can't sew very well. Someday I keep saying I'm going to take lessons but I never seem to do it! Maybe I'll try the bed one of these days! I'd love to see a tutorial on the hanging bells! |

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Thanks for sharing! I would love to learn how to sew with my machine. I am a scrapbooker and I know this might sound crazy, but my machine rarely touches fabric. I sew onto a lot of my scrapbooking projects (layouts, cards, etc.) I'll check out your blog!

As some know...Bella likes to bring treats to her bed (and her sister's beds) that are let's just say less than edible to the average dog. Thus the reason for a washable cover. Btw...I also signed up for your blog and hoping to be a winner and get a free pattern for the Sammy Bag to make, too! Your tutorials are awesome!
