Dog Jacket

My latest make - a jacket for Lizzy, my friend's little dog. As soon as I saw the dog pattern in the November issue of Burda 2020 I knew I wanted to make it for Lizzy. Recently Burda.ru had a Black Friday sale and I enlarged my collection of Burda patterns with 5 more, among them pattern 123.

I made the smallest size, adding 1 cm seam allowances. However, as the seams are left on the outside and covered with the bias tape, next time I will make it without adding any seam allowances, I think it will fit her better. Lizzy is truly the tiniest sweetest doggy. 

I didn't have the types of fabrics the magazine suggested, so I decided to make the jacket out of fleece for the lining and recycled jeans for the outer and I think it works fine for milder weather. I have some more fleece pieces and I would love to make her a winter coat too with some plaid coat wool fabric, if I happen upon one.

Pattern: Dog jacket #123 of Burda 11/2020

Time to make: 3 days

Lizzy not only made a twirl for a proper photo session with her new jacket, but took it out for a walk in the snow later today - a photo courtesy of my friend. 

 

Two Raglan Dog Sweaters

I made two new sweaters for my friend's dog Lizzy. This time I designed the sweaters to be raglan, one with cables and the other color blocks. The yarn is Alize Lanagold Solids, various remnant balls from other much bigger projects.

Fleece Dog Coat

This is the last of my doggy posts - a fleece hoodie coat + denim skirt for Lizzy. Self drafted and sewn in a couple of hours, frankly, I was surprised it fitted her so well  :)))

The fleece was a small scrap piece, given to me by a friend and the denim was harvested from the same pair of old Gaby's jeans I've used for other small projects too.

I had an idea to make her a denim jacket too, but meanwhile got engulfed in other knitting and cross stitching projects (more on that - soon :) and lost interest in dog attire. For now ☺
