Just to make sure I didn't miss anyone here is my list:

the1irishgirl- Pajamas- I'll try my best[

]

MissMandy- 2 boys

nyiceprincess- Great Dane

Chewbecca- Ella- pit bull- wide chest

NicoleS- Sammy- if all goes well with the1irishgirl I'll make the PJs

jennie_c_d- Teenie-Dachshund style, Emma- normal shape

Alright I'll start with those, tomorrow I'll go out and get some material. It may take me a week or two to get this list done, anymore request after this will take longer but I#%92ll try to get to them all. The more I make the better I seem to get at it.[

***I also have some that I already made that are cocker spaniel size if anyone has a dog of that size, one is gold and black and the other is green plaid.***

Rose and Colton would love to be models. And of course, I would send some stuff for Giz! I have a sewing machine, but I don't really know how to sew very well and I just don't have too much time with school!

send me a PM and I'll add you to the list[

]

If you don't see me around this forum for a while you all know what I'm doing[

Giz also says she would love some doggy treats

Terrific idea!! Giz would be getting all sorts of yummy things!

Thank you Amanda! Can't wait to see what your creations look like [

I'm not much for rules but I want to make one. [

Anyone who gets clothes from Xebby has to post a picture here of their dog wearing the outfit.

I think this would be fantastic! I have a really hard time trying to find clothes for Tasha because size mediums are way to big and size smalls are way too small!!

Max would never wear anything, but Georgie doesn't seem to mind us putting things on her, and my sister is always good for taking tons of pictures. Let me know when you're not too busy with all the other requests.

Here are some ideas of clothing styles you can try. The harnesses work on small dogs, not sure how big they work on up to.

This one can have a d-ring put on the neck or mid back to make it a harness.

One I am currently working on but you can see how it works...

Another style (I did fleece on the inside to make it extra warm... I do that with a lot of the winter ones).

Harness with pretty front... of course the d-ring can go on neck or back.

You can see a style here

d-ring on back of harness.

Thanks! The pattern I use is so different than the one you show but I think yours would work better for some of the clothing I'm attempting. It really does give me another idea of how to put things together.[

The pic below is what I started with for the basic patter and than modified it to cover more of my dog's back and added a belly strap to keep it in place, from that is wher I get my designs. Most of my clothing now looks nothing like these ones but just wanted to show where my ideas were started. Right now the PJs are whats getting to me, I can't exatly figure them out.

I have yet to buy a dog pattern because I have sewn all Zoe's stuff with a pattern I printed offline and one someone sent to me and then I altered them. Now, I am doing a sewing class so I will be able to read real patterns and make myself stuff too

.

I am going to eventually find a pattern for a nice fleec jacket for Zoe, similar to this [linkhttp://www.dogedesigns.com/coats.htm]http://www.dogedesigns.com/coats.htm[/link].

If your still needing models Blue would love to do it besides finding clothes that fit is a nightmare since nothing ever fits him perfect when it comes to the strap under his belly it's always to big.

Large is too small and X-large fits him until the underbelly strap.

i love gizzy in her outfits, you do such a good job with them. berserker is about the size of a cocker spaniel if one of the outfits you have are still up for grabs, he would look so cute in green plaid. [

Xebby,

I just purchased a Simplicity Pattern that includes dog pajamas for small dogs. Would you be able to use that and modify it for the pajamas for Molly (and the others)? If so, I'd be happy to send it to you! After all, it's the least I can do for you agreeing to include Molly-cicle!

Oh I really like using Simplicity Patterns, they just make things simple to put together. I hardly ever follow patterns exactly as they are printed, there is always something I want to change about them but they are a great guideline and I do use them a lot.

My aunt once made custom wedding dresses as a business and also whas the one who gave me the idea to try this with the cloths that I make for Gizzy. She has a whole bedroom of sewing stuff set up in her house, manicans and all. She now only does it for special request from people who know or have heard about her. I asked her for advice and when she heard what I was planning she gave me some cloth to use to experment with.[

] My aunt is also the one who taught me most of what I know about sewing.

Well, good! Just PM me your address (if you feel comfortable) or a PO Box or something and I'll get it off to you as soon as I get it - or maybe I can just have her ship it right to you... Hmm...
