Measure your dog, around the neck, down the neck line to the tail....

Materials:

Sewing Machine or needle and thread
Lace of any color
something to cut holes with
Blue jean (old pants or new material)
velcro
Pins
scissors

On Newspaper or tissue paper, start to sketch out your design for your outfit. Make sure to use the measurments you took.

Step one: On blue jean or any material you absolutly love, start to cut around your design (make sure to cut extra for hem)

Step Two: With a colored lace (pink in photo) start a hem with the lace and the jean to give it the proffesional feel and look. if you have two peices of cloth make sure to do both

Step three: If you have two pieces (not connected) turn cloth over and hem the two pieces together making sure to leave enough room for you pup.

Step four: Take the scissors or a knife and right down the middle of the out fit make 4-5 small holes going down the out fit. (both sides like shoes)

Step five: Take a different color lace (purple in photo) and needle pull through the holes like you were lacing up shoes. Once at the bottom make sure your end pieces pull through the top to make a big bow.

Step six: Now with the ends of your outfit cut and fit velcro, sew it on.

Depending on what your sketch you drew out you may not need the velcro.

Try it on your pet and enjoy
