Denim and Fleece Dog Coat

Still belly deep in snow here! But Karma is toasty warm in her new handmade, recycled denim coat!

Following the directions given at compulsive craftiness I was able to make this cozy denim and fleece coat for Karma. Check out the pattern through this link for detailed instructions.

But here's what I did.

I patchworked some recycled denim for the outer layer. 

Then lined it with plush baby blue fleece and cut off the excess

and sewed on some velcro closures.

It was the first time I'd ever sewn a collar to a garment...not bad! The instructions made it easy!

I made a strap across the front using the waistband from a pair of jeans including the brass button closure.

Perfect for walks around the block!
