With Winter Coming... (cost, pups, Great Dane, Florida)

I had been trying to figure out how to make a doggie jacket/hoodie since I got my little Teddie since he's not good for the cold. Well I came aross this thread and loved it so much I just had to make Teddie one.
Dino hoodie! for tiny doggie!!!

Once I had the hoodie made I sat down and made a pattern so I could make more. So I made two more from scratch and they turned out pretty good.
Here is the first hoodie made from a infants hoodie; it was altered to fit his body.



The two made from scratch.. A BRIGHT red track jacket with a super blue zipper..



And a PURPLE fleece hoodie.... It looks like cobalt blue, but it's really not. I used velcro to close this one.

I think they came out REALLY GOOD!

Here is a tip for the next one you make. Try putting the velcro on the back of the dog rather than the belly. Much easier for the dog to step in/out.

I ordered Shadow's hoodie for $13 online. They have a 2 piece sweatsuit out, but now that I am back in FL I can't really justify the cost.

I have a better pic, but I used it in another thread.......

I made them so they fit his shape. He can run, jump, stretch, and play it them.

Teddie , those are so funny. We have a neon peach fleece pullover for our min pin. Being in Florida it doesn't get too cold, but from time to time we really get cold . Our min pin is 17 pounds, so if you make an extra bright red hoodie with a fantastic blue zipper....... and now that it is in my head, I need to order her a Saints jersey for this season

I know for a fact I have enough material lol and it really wouldn't have to be altered depending on the build of your min pin.

Those are awesome! And here I was all impressed with myself for perfecting a bandanna with a collar sleeve this week. Well, I perfected it for Zoe sized pups, I'm sending out a bunch to friends this weekend to see how it sized up and down (everything for a great dane to a papillion )

p.s. Craftster rocks! I spend a lot of time semi-lurking over there for inspiration.

I was contemplating getting one of these for Dakota when we go out on winter walks.
