Crazy Dog Lady

It's official. I'm that lady. My dog and I now have matching outfits. I traded in my membership card of the Sane Dog Owner society and I'm letting it all hang out. But if I start wheeling her around in a stroller and pre-masticating her food for her, do me a favor and lock me up.

The dress is a fun and fairly easy home-sewing pattern with endless possibilities for flourishes and personalizations. It's called Rooibos, and it's available from Portland, Oregon-based Colette Patterns. The matching dog coat is my own design, which I made using my free basic dog smock pattern as a template. I added two asymmetrical seams in the main body to include a large swatch of the accent fabric, a fun scallop-and-animal print cotton from Echino that's been knocking about in my fabric stash for a couple of years now. And of course I added in the pointed turned-down collar detail at the neckline to mimic the Rooibos neckline.  Read more here!

xoxo to Kittee for taking photos!

Wow! I love that. It might be venturing into crazy dog-lady territory, but who cares? I want to dress myself and my dog in a matching outfit now too. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right! The pattern (fabric and cut) of your dress is amazing!

This might just be the best thing I've ever seen.
