Karma's Koat

So I had this idea to make a coat for Karma. 

I took an old pair of fleece pajama bottoms and slit opened the legs. 

I used some brown paper to make a pattern and to try it on the dog.  After taking this picture I actually cut a straight edge rather than the curvy edge you see here, but you get the idea, eh?

I sewed two thicknesses of material together then sewed double folded bias tape around the edge. I used the PJ waistband for the neck of the coat.

Then sewed a large button on one side of the neck and made a loop from the bias tape on the other side of the neck. I had a strap with a clip that I had kept from something (don't remember what) so I used that for the strap around the belly area. And it was ready for Christmas morning!

Oh and did I mention it matches Dad's jacket!
