I love the longer coats and that you added reflective tape. Going to make one for each of my dogs. That is a beautiful dog and is so well behaved. Thank you!
Well done, quite thorough as well. Here's a suggestion for DRAWING the ARCS or CURVES ON PATTERNS. 1) USE A SMALL SALAD PLATE or Desert Bowl for smaller K-9s 5-10 lb (3-5 kg) or 2) a DINNER PLATE for K-9s +/- 30-50 lb ( 13- 22.5 kg) dogs. 3) Reckon a SERVING PLATTER for very large dogs e.g., those with thick manes, double coats e.g. Male Samoyeds, Great Pyrenees or heavily muscled, large necked K-9s e.g., Rottweilers, Staffordshire or Pit Bull Terriers, Neapolitan Mastiffs etc.. Although, heavily coated K-9s rarely require extra coats, except as you've presented here, for rain & wet snow protection. In summary, using a rounded plate approximating the circumference of the necks, serve well for drawing the neck & flank curves on patterns. BTW: You guys honestly think, this cutie Foster Dog is "Large Dog at 40 lb."? :) Must foster an Irish Wolfhound someday! THANKS VERY MUCH; for the presentation your kindness AND for FOSTERING WONDERFUL DOGS!
These directions are so thorough, including letting me know that after I laminate the material, it will feel terrible at first. That's good to know; otherwise, I would think I'm doing something wrong. I'm making this coat. I just ironed on the laminate last night. Will give an update when I'm done.
It is I again, as I sat and finished watching your video, I wondered if you could use oil cloth in place of laminating the top layer of Ginko’s coat? I am always trying to think of shortcuts and the oil cloth came to my mind. My late sister-in-law used to make my brother down vests and jackets!! I sure could use her help now. Thanks again. KC
Hi Karyn - We prefer an actual waterproof fabric as opposed to a water-resistant fabric to shed rain. True oil cloth gets wet and stays wet. One option for you would be vinyl or a slicker fabric of some kind. Your Boston will use a coat every day in Pennsylvania winters so you won't want to have to wait for it to dry if it gets wet. Good luck with the move!
I am a brand new person trying to learn how to sew. As we are going to be relocating from the Deep South (Alabama) to the frozen tundra (PA) so I thought I’d better start stocking up on outerwear for our Boston Terrier, Willie. When I started perusing the sites on the Internet, I had a stroke at their prices. Fortunately, one of the sites segued me to UA-cam and subsequently to you. I am saving your video to refer to it after my shoulder replacement next month. Would it be easier for someone of my skill level to purchase a pattern from Mcalls or Simplicity? As Willie has been looking for honey rubs, Is glad I have saved your video! What I will sayin closing is that you two make great foster parents and I’ll bet your puppies are really sad when they have to leave. I will let you know how successful or unsuccessful I am at a later date and thanks from the bottom of my heart for all you do to and for puppies. Willies Mom, KC Verdecchia
Hi....I like how detailed this video is.....I have a question....I found the vinyl to iron on at Joanne Fabrics but it's not wide enough to cover the whole piece of fabric....is there a place I can buy it wider than 15"? If not what is the best way to iron the pieces together...up & down or across? Thanks for your help
I think your doggy Jacket is brilliant and you made it look so easy to sew together. I am in the UK and would love to know where I can buy the laminate. My head is bussing with things I could make, (that is if you can let me know where I can purchase the LAMINATE). Keep up the good work.
Perhaps, you're looking on our website directly instead of clicking on the links above. Our website is for items we ship. This worksheet is not on our website but a free download from a link in the description below the video.
I would probably start with the raincoat then sew on back leg coverings. To do this, try to pin muslin to the finished jacket to extend the sides, shape/trim to fit then use the muslin pattern pieces to make the leg coverings just as you did the jacket. Once done, stitch them on.
Not sure what you mean exactly but this is the only pattern we've developed. I would look on Pinterest to see if anyone else has what you're looking for.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I look forward to making a coat for my newly adopted puppy.
Thanks for a great video diy. I appreciate the effort and communication that you both put into this, very digestible
We appreciate your kind words.
He really IS the world's best model! Nice job everyone, time for snacks! ;)
We agree!
Thank you so much ! I will be making my large beautiful dog, a very nice coat , very soon . God bless you guys , for fostering dogs and cats!

Thanks so much for sharing the video and worksheet. Did Ginko find a good home? He's so cute!
Oh yes, he was adopted the day he arrived at the adoption center.
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! Clear and concise instructions make this easy to believe that I can achieve.
I did it. Thank you very much!!! I didn't found those materials in my country, but i did a beautiful coat. :)

Beautiful dog. My dog has the same markings on her head except they are brown not black.

We have had luck overlapping it a bit and pressing.

Ann you can usually get laminate at the Fabric store or you can order it online.
Can't find the worksheet on your website either???
It's in the description.

Pattern won't download???
The link to the pattern is in the description above and is definitely working.
Hi may I ask whare do you get the laminated peice from I live in the uk
I got mine off amazon joanne x
Empress mills
#Bill Kerr i mean a jumper.my dog has back pains and his back legs need protection.
I would probably start with the raincoat then sew on back leg coverings. To do this, try to pin muslin to the finished jacket to extend the sides, shape/trim to fit then use the muslin pattern pieces to make the leg coverings just as you did the jacket. Once done, stitch them on.
What is the size of the muslim for the template
could somebody tell me how to make a overall for my dog?
