dog bed
Bruce Lee’s new stylin’ dog bed.
I personalized his bed by stenciling his name with permanent fabric paint.
Now there’s no mistaking who’s cushy bed this is!
dog jacket
Here is my first attempt at making dog jackets. It’s made of some tough water resistant nylon lined with polar fleece.
Hopefully this will help Bruce Lee stay a little drier on those wet rainy days!
The stores sell them for about $30 and up. I made this for roughly $10. At that price I can still afford to make more jackets when he outgrows this one!
custom dog crate slip cover
This is a slip cover I custom made for my dog’s new crate. I picked the wire crate b/c I thought it would be less stuffy in the summer but the breeder warned me that its will allow hair to escape making it a little messier so I made a custom slip cover to address that problem.
The fabric was 6.99 a meter from Ikea. I used about 3.5 meters. It’s complete with two flap doors. Right now we need this door but when he’s bigger, we can turn the crate around and use the other door.
Now it’sa fashionable and functionable crate!
Fabric Dogs
Fabric weiner dog for myself. I recall having a blue fabric weiner dog in our home when I was little. Since I still have so much fabric from my friend Shani, I thought I’d try to recreate it with printed fabric. I hand sewed this whole thing. The gentle curves were easy to flip inside out without too much pukering.
My latest that I whipped out in like 1.5 hrs (hand sewing, remember) is the polka dot one.
Puppet Master
When my friend told me she was into puppets, I didn’t know how much she meant that! Her grandmother handcrafted these amazing dolls from scraps of cloth, and helped made her grandchildrens’ imagination come to life. It’s already been previously written about!
Crochet Hook Carry Case
Thank you to Shani for giving me her extra fabric from her business: Tot-to-Go (baby slings). I have been doing some sewing. Here is my new crochet hook carry case. It is double-thickness and has a compartment for each of my Clover hooks (you see I’m hoping to buy a 5mm Clover hook, which I’ve left room for — heheheheeh).
Yes, and notice when the inside flap is down, how the pattern lines up — yup, I’m a genius!
Crochet Kit
Finally! My sewing lessons w my mother-in-law have resulted in this oh-so-girly crochet case. I love knowing where each hook is right away rather than hunting for it.
How to Blanket Stitch
I’m pretty good at figuring out origami instructions, but somehow when it comes to sewing stitches, I need ABC instructions! This is a wonderful step-by-step blog that I feel confident in following!
