project Dog




Tuesday night - 4 degrees. Old smelly dog with very short hair.

One felted jumper from felted jumper stash and four strips of velcro + 10 mins sewing

= one very deconstructed dog coat.


warm dog

  4. Stinky old dog looks nice and cozy in the new jumper and probably doesn't care that it's not tailored to perfection!

  7. That first photo he is saying 'Oh not another fashion shoot. Can't you just talk to my manager?'!!!
    Great work. I bet smelly old dog is extremely appreciative.

  8. I love that you have done this. I love it for purely selfish reasons of course. My old stinky dog needs a coat too, bless his little white socks and his $1000 ear, and my Aunt has given me an old blanket with which to make said coat. Now I can steal design ideas of you... shhhh....

  12. The dog needs it.... freezing. Maybe our kids could make the rabbit one on the weekend?

  13. He's gorgeous! I want to hug him! Even if he is stinky.
    My smelly old dog can't tell the difference between beef jerky and imitation leather and promptly destroyed the smart jacket we got him this year. Maybe he'd prefer a needlefelted one...?

  17. aww bless.. my parents just got a new puppy.. a little Sckipperke (sp? sounds like skipper key) named Drake.. their dog Hunter died last month and we were all very upset, I still feel quite sad even thoughw e only see them once or twice a year now... a few months ago in deep winter snow my parents found a little Dashound puppy that somone had chucked out of the car, thats all we can think it is because they are too rural with too many predators (wolves, coyotes, moose, bear, eagles, owls etc) for her to have escaped.. she was half frozen but my parents nursed her back to health, H fell totally in love with her when we visited in April and i think both of thier hearts were broken when we had to come home again.

    sorry doggy wittering..

  19. Now that's a great dog jacket. I've got to make a few new ones for my little dog for this winter.

  32. Awww - being Mum to a stinky old dog meself I can quite understand the need to snuggle the stinky one up in a nice cuddly coat -'cept our stinky pooch has the thickiest curliest coat you ever did see and would expire from heat exhaustion even in our firgid Northern Hemishere winters should I ever be tempted to clothe her in such cuddlesome attire.

    ((((hugs))) to the stinky one from Moog :-)
