I want it to be cool so desperately that I decided it was time to make Abby a winter coat. what perfect timing since today my thermometer just outside my kitchen window said it was around 80 degrees. well anyway I had done some felting last year. and had a large piece that was pink on one side and white on the other and decided it would make a pretty coat for Abby. I still have to make the tummy straps that will use velcro for closure. I am thinking that I will use a cotton belt type material. I am stuck on the design. shes not a floral girl so I thought stripes. but it is starting to remind me of a bad 80’s cosby sweater. hmmm. well here are some photos any feedback would be loved. Zack has the camera so please excuse the computer photos.
I used a decorative stitch its a bit inconsistent; my machine was not real thrilled that I was feeding this fabric through.

Abby was not really that excited about modeling it but I thought it was cute. I will get a better photo of her looking mighty fine when Zack and the camera are home and the coat is finished. and maybe just maybe it will be cool enough for her to wear it.
hey I found you!
This blog is pretty exciting, and your quiling final is insane, how did you dye it? I am curiouse. We should get coffee or food and you should tell me about your life sometime. Let me know- or else.

i really like the coat so far. honestly, i think the more cosby-esque the better but that’s just my sick mind. haha i have to say i’m a fan of that big orange button. perhaps if you wanted to you could put a few on the back?
thank you for your lovely email! And that´s the coolest dog!!! I love the huge button and the contrast of colours!
Dude, Abby looks pissed. She also looks a bit like a superhero
Maybe you could get a brown ribbon with some polka dots.
I love the button and the contrasting stitching. I like Dorothy’s idea of adding in a darker color to tone it down a bit. Do you need to put in button holes so that you can feed her harness through for the leash?
