Sewing for the Little Person: DIY Puppy Outfits

July 7, 2015 by FaveCrafts

It’s a little difficult for me to make outfits for two Labradors. For one thing, they both won’t sit still long enough to put anything on, and for another, they’re both too big to fit into anything and they would pull it off anyways. You can find dog outfits nearly anywhere you go. For those of you who like to dress up your canine friend, and are successful at it, my hat is off to you. I’m constantly torn between my reaction of, “That poor dog” and “Oh my gosh, it’s so cute!” Most of it is practical — like a little wiener dog or a chihuahua in the middle of a Chicago winter: they need something on their backs so they don’t get sick and to keep warm. A Siberian husky? I think they could do without the extra sweater, since, you know, they were made for that kind of weather.

My favorite are the ironic costumes or the animal costumes that go with the breed. Like for wiener dogs, they get hot dog bun coat or dalmatians have a fire truck hat or labs get a lifeguard vest. Today is one of those days where I find the outfits cute, and I wish I could dress my dogs up for Halloween. Those of you with small dogs, take this opportunity to dress up your pets as much as you can because you never know how big your next fur-baby is going to be.

It just all depends on your taste. Some people like to go full out and dress their dogs up in homemade animal outfits, or they like to keep it simplistic with a simple dog collar or puppy bandana. Whatever your preference, you’re going to love these easy sewing outfits and projects for your fur-baby. All they need is a little bit of fabric and a whole lot of love. I’ve also included some fun pet sewing projects and animal crochet patterns. You can really make anything you want for your pets out of any scraps you have. Don’t forget to post a picture of your project in the comments!

Our Office Dog is Famous!

October 12, 2011 by AllFreeHolidayCrafts

Okay, so maybe he isn’t the office dog, but he does belong to one of our most creative staff members, Simone.  And now his adorable little face is popping up all over the Internet:

Maybe I should start at the beginning.  A month or so ago Simone, who is our Social Media Guru, whipped up an amazing Harry Potter costume for her pup, complete with Gryffindor cape, striped tie and even Harry’s iconic black-rimmed glasses.  She then graciously typed up the instructions and shared them with us all.

Fast forward to last week when Simone was lucky enough to be a guest at the Martha Stewart Show.  She quickly became best buds with Martha and they’ve kept in touch via Twitter.  But despite their budding friendship, Simone was still stunned yesterday when she found out that Martha had mentioned her Harry Potter Dog Costume on the air and posted a snapshot of it on her website (click through to slide 4 to see Simone’s pup in all his Harry Potter glory).  Or I could just show it to you here:

Yes, that’s our Harry “Pawter” on the left and Martha’s face right next to him on the right.  We’d call that famous!

As if that wasn’t enough, Simone’s pup has since been featured by our friends over at Craftzine.  Before you know it, he’ll be gracing the cover of Vogue!

We love that people love our doggie Harry Potter costume so much.  If it was up to us, there would be a whole army of Harry Potter pets parading around on October 31st!

For anyone who wants to make a Harry Potter dog costume of their own, just head on over to Simone’s tutorial and she’ll walk you through it step by step.

We’re curious:  What’s the funniest pet Halloween costume you’ve seen?
