That is too cute!

That's as cute as can be Debbie! Now... is there a chihuahua in your future to fit into it??

How cute is that! Cute fabrics too! W2G!

I wonder if there is a more masculine design. My Mom has a little rat-dog.

Kat...what if you left off the pleats..and just squared off the bottom so it looked more like a shirt? Maybe use manly flannel?? LOL maybe you could tweak it to jusy extend the "bodice" so it did not look like a dress??

here is the link, in case anyone is as silly as I am!!

That is adorable! Am going to show the pattern to my neighbor - she's got a little male chihuahua called Chico. He's a long-haired one so might not need a flannel shirt, but still, winters get pretty cold in Indiana and Chico is getting along in years. They always have at least one or two doggies they get from the Chihuahua rescue center in Ft. Wayne.

Hmmmmmm.......wonder if I could find some yellow slicker fabric, resize the pattern, and make Buddy the Dalmatian a fireman costume for Halloween. He loves to go trick-or-treating!

Meg I bet you could...the size I made fits a 12-14 inch chest, so i think it goes by the chest measurement....I am going to try and resize it to fit my red girl, Emma Lou, she is a min pin, but we call her a maxi-pin, because she is bigger than the normal size for the breed. I always tell her it's okay to be a big girl, cause Momma is too!!!
