Fall

Fall brings beautiful color, honey crisp apples, rain, and of course cooler temperatures. With the chill I knew the fosters are going to need a coat for our daily walks. I'm a complete novice at sewing, so I searched far and wide for a pattern online; but couldn't find one for a greyhound's body and ended up attempting to do everything on my own. The coat is double layered heavy sweatshirt fleece with a snood; and the best part is that all the supplies only came to $10! Debbie was a great sport as my model and I think she approves.






I ordered a pajama from Skinny Dogs


She preferred to use it as a chew toy instead

  1. You did a really great job. I'm a sewer and make coats for my dachshunds. I always have to adapt patterns for their long bodies.

  3. Nice autumn coat! We are going out tomorrow to get some material to make a warm autumn coat for Earl. So far we have been getting a lot of use out of his raincoat!
