Free Pet Patterns!

How do you scratch that "Mommy Itch" to dress up a little baby in hand-made adorable clothes...when you don't have a baby?

Torture the dogs!  he he he

It has not been cold enough here in Mississippi to knit little sweaters for the Westies.  Their little Perpetual-Teddy-Bear face and body have brought out in me a huge need to sew little cutsie things for them to wear.

Gordon says I am embarassing the dogs and giving them a complex!  Well, I figure if those little powderpuffs are willing to accept the pampering (special food, sleeping on the bed, special baths, brushing, walks and toys), then those little furry white critters have to accept a few fancy/frilly collars every now and then!  *grin*

I showed you a couple of these hand-made dog collar "slipcovers" last week when we adopted Mac the two-year-old Westie Rescue from Louisiana Westie Rescue.

Now I have posted the pattern for the Triangle Collar Slipcover that you can size up or down on a photocopier for a smaller or larger dog, and even for a cat!

These were super easy to whip up by hand, but you can certainly use a sewing machine.

Embellishing these slipcovers is limited only by your imagination!

Right now, I'm perfecting the Scalloped Collar Slipcover (top two pictures) pattern, and I hope to have it posted to share with you in the next few days. 

Let me see what you make with these free patterns!  I've started a Flickr Group called Handmade Pet Clothes just for us to share ideas and designs!

Not familar with Flickr?  Then feel free to email the picture to me, and I will gladly size and upload it for you!

Penny - thank you for the slipcover pattern. I am a volunteer for a rescue organization in Omaha, NE and I am going to attempt to make these for our rescue dogs. Hopefully they will turn out like your pictures.

Hello, love your triangle bandana pattern. I do not have a pet hower I donate time to the Spencer Pet Rescue. I would like your permission to produce these bandanas to give away with donation to Rescue Center.
