Weeeee I’m finally in my new house I don’t have my sewing machines up and running just yet (lots of decorating to do first!) but I have set up my computer etc, so I thought I’d post piccies of the doggy tops that I made for my gal Rosie shortly before we moved house!
She did specifically request a pink t-shirt so she could be cute and girly (since her first jumper was a red and black spiderweb design, and her first tee was a brown and white one to match my ‘leisure suit’), so I obliged with this cute BRIGHT pink and black check!
And finally, I know she wanted to be a little more girly and less intimidating, but I love skulls and Halloween, so I had to make her a cute foil skull design too one didn’t I?!
I used this free dog t-shirt pattern from ‘Mimi and Tara’, with some slight alterations to fit Rosie better, and to accommodate the different fabric stretches.
Fabric 1 was from poundametre, and annoyingly the other 2 fabrics don’t appear to be in my fabric spreadsheet so I have no idea where they came from!! I suspect that fabric 2 was from poundfabrics and fabric 3 from Minerva but I’m not certain.
And that’s it for now until my craft room is painted and the boxes unpacked! Next up I’m planning to make a long skirt with built in shorts, nice and floaty for summer, hoooopefully anyways!
What cute shirts for Rosie! I can’t pick a favorite, but I do think that the bright pinks really flatter her. More importantly… HER EARS! [swoooooooooon]
Rosie is absolutely beautiful and you go the fit on the tees perfect. I love the pink color on her. The skulls are cool too, but the first one is my favorite. She looks like a sweetie!
@kittykill I think I actually bought the skull fabric to make a bra with but I couldn’t resist
@TheMistressT Absolutely, everyone mentions how cute her ears are, they’re so perky and speckledy!! They’re colour changing too, when she gets warm the inside goes bright pink like her t-shirt
@MistressJennie She needs a literal wardrobe to put all her t-shirts and collars in now too, lol. She’s claimed the conservatory in our new house as her own as she likes to sunbathe so much, so I think we need some little doggy level hooks in there so she can pick one out to bring to us to wear when she gets cold
i once was looking to rescue a dog a lot like her. same short white fur even. she would blush when she was excited and it made her glow pink! does Rosie do that?
@curiousfae Awww yes Rosie does kinda do that, when she’s excited or hot her light pink spotty inside ears go bright pink! Weirdly when we adopted her back nearly 7 years ago now there was another dog at the shelter that looked just like her (only without her gingery fur speckles) called Storm.
