Sometimes some dog owners pay more attention to their pets than to themselves. For pets a real paradise is created: beautiful velvet beds and cushions, baskets, various toys, comfortable dishes, all kinds of accessories. And, accordingly, for them an exclusive wardrobe is selected. For dog-girls, the owners often choose clothes such as sarafans, dresses and tops with skirts. Small dogs are dressed in shorts and panties in combinations with t-shirts and blouses. If you like brutal and stylish macho, then on a powerful bulldog torso can wear a bright T-shirt with a funny inscription. Also on such animals are very funny looking bright vests. If your pet needs an outfit for a special occasion, you can find in the stores real evening dresses or an elegant suit with a butterfly. Many breeds of dogs can wear any clothes from the store - the main thing is that the size should be suitable. Especially fortunate in this regard, the owners of miniature pets, because for them there is a whole fashion industry. But individual breeds of dogs, in which a special body structure, for example, a muscular bulldog or a fragile and elegant Chinese crested, requires special clothing - outfits to order. But you can make them yourself. 
Preparation
For the result of your work to please you,surprised friends and, most importantly, well sat on your dog, without giving her any inconvenience, you need to understand that clothing for animals has certain characteristics. And pay attention to this necessarily, because only in this case you will be able to sew models are not just beautiful, but also comfortable. If you ever wondered what clothes for dogs are sold in stores, you could be sure that the proposed things are universal and do not provide for differences, for example, for long-haired and short-haired animals. It is necessary to know that if your pet belongs to shaggy breeds of dogs, then when sewing it is necessary to avoid inserting rubber bands into the cuffs, since in those places on its body where they will rub against the wool, unaesthetic lumps may form. Instead of lightning and stringing in clothes, it makes sense to sew Velcro and buttons, because otherwise you can hurt the animal if its fur is trapped while fastening. To sew things for dogs, which in appearance will not differ from store, and in functionality even manage to surpass them, you can not do without a sewing machine. With her help, clothes will turn out to be more accurate, and you will spend less time working than you will need for a manual process. In addition you will also need:
- temples
- tracing paper
- scissors
- chalk or soap
- threads and needles
- thimble
- centimeter
- pins
With regard to materials and fabrics, it is for sureyour old clothes will fit, which dusts in the closet without any work. In the course will also go old sweaters and shirts of her husband. But if you want to create a glamorous outfit for your pet, then the choice of fabrics in the store is so wide that finding the desired is not at all problematic. Do not forget about the accessories, without which sewing clothes for dogs is just as impossible as for us people. Therefore, stock up immediately with buttons, elastic bands, Velcro, sequins and sequins. If you want to sew your own fashionable and practical wardrobe yourself, you just need patterns. Ready-made variants can be found without much difficulty, but we suggest to be as original as possible and try to make them yourself, because there is no special complexity here. The following are ways to create patterns and tailoring, helping to make the most popular clothes for your four-legged pets. 
Overalls and pants universal
Dog owners know that animals are sometimes extremelyit is necessary to protect the coat from rain, snow and dirt. Especially in this need your pets of small breeds, because they are very sensitive to cold. Therefore, overalls are simply indispensable, because it is very convenient. When choosing a fabric for him, you should prefer light and low-sensitivity to moisture materials: plashevke, microfiber, boloni and so on. If your goal is warm clothes, you will need a lining that can be made and removable. Just do not forget that for long-haired dogs the fabric that will be inside the overalls should be smooth and sliding to the touch to avoid the appearance of ugly knuckles in the animal. The described pattern will consist of three parts, namely: the two sides and the wedge, with which they must be fastened on the dog's stomach. As for the fastener, it is supposed to be on the back in the form of buttons, lightning (if the animal has a short coat), buttons and so on. In the cuffs you can insert elastic bands or Velcro - the choice depends, again, on the length of your pet's fur. To begin with, you should remove the basic and necessary measurements for the construction of the pattern. Using a centimeter, determine the length of the back of the dog and its paws, the height at the withers, the distance between the front paws and the volume of the chest. All the measurements taken must be transferred to the paper for the pattern and connected. Thus, you will get a pattern of the side of the overalls. It can be transferred to the fabric, not forgetting the tolerances for seams. As to the way that we sew, then initially we need to connect two main parts-the sidewalls. Leave the reserve for the length of the paws and adjust it after fitting, inserting rubber bands or Velcro. Now the most difficult thing is to fit the width of the second part - the wedge - over the dog. On how well you calculate its size, depends on the comfort of your pet's movements. Therefore, it is better to do this after the sides have been sewn together. There were only trifles left - to come up with a clasp. The easiest way to sew a valve with a Velcro along the length of the wedge, but if you wish, you can tinker and zip. For rainy weather clothes should be supplemented with a hood. In general, only your own imagination can stop you. If you do not know how to sew at all, but still want to try with your own hands to make any toilet item for your pet or python, then the blanket is the simplest and most successful way out for beginners. This clothing, like the overalls, can be warm, having as a lining of a syntapon, serve as a protection against rain for the dog, if made of a plaschke, and also protect from scorching sunlight on summer days when using flax or cotton for sewing it. It is very easy to sew a blanket. The pattern will be a rectangle in which:
- the larger side is the sum of the dog's back lengths from the collar to the root of the tail and abdomen to the last rib plus the hemispheres of its neck;
- The smaller side is the semi-grip of the animal's breast in the widest possible place.
In the resulting pattern do not forget to doThe hole where your pet's head will be. The clothes themselves need to be grinded by the bake, and on the sides to sew the ropes, with the help of which the blanket will be kept on the dog. A more difficult option can be a blanket with holes for the paws and a strap with a Velcro fastener. If you want, add a hood or make a beautiful collar. 
Dress for miniature breeds
The little dog-girl is very dressed. The proprietor buys or sews alone and casual clothes for pythomists, and real festive outfits to go out into the light, glamorous and charming. Fabrics are chosen for this very different. Although, of course, for everyday use, natural materials are preferable, since any dog is prone to suffer from heat. Therefore, you do not need to create an additional "greenhouse effect" by dressing it in synthetics. The proposed variant of making and making a dress for your miniature dog is perfect for both summer walks and a visit to the guests. It all depends on what kind of fabric you will use to work on creating it. In any case, the material should be chosen light and thin, so that the clothes do not constrain the movements of the dog and do not cause any inconvenience to it, otherwise your pet will simply refuse to wear the outfit, and your work will go wrong. Using a centimeter, determine the volume of the trunk and chest of the animal, the distance between the paws and the length from the beginning of the neck and to the middle of the trunk. The pattern will consist of three main parts: the back, chest and skirt. As in the first case with overalls, take the measurements taken on paper for tracing paper so that you get two independent drawings. As for the skirt, then her pattern is not needed, because you will only need to take a piece of cloth, equal in length to the volume of the dog's body, multiplied by two, and up to twenty centimeters wide. After you cut out the back and breast part of the future dress from the fabric, sew them together on each side. The neck should be treated with a satin ribbon, decorated with rhinestones or beads. Now you can sew a skirt, and its edge should be stitched with the same ribbon or bake.
Shirt and waistcoat for the pet
If you are a lucky possessorminiature male, you probably want to dress up a pet in a fashionable shirt or a pretty vest. After all, not only young ladies-dogs need to look stylish and smart, right? On the example of how the shirt is done, you can make a top or a jersey for a pet. A vest is suitable not only for miniature dogs, but for large representatives of this family. So, to make these clothes, you need to take measurements. Determine the length and volume of the trunk and front legs of your pet with the centimeter. In the pattern will be present two main parts - the back and the bottom side (they need two pieces). Transfer the measurements made to the paper for cutting and join together to form the outlines of the necessary parts of the model. Do not forget about the hole for the neck and the allowances for the seams. Now cut out the details of the future shirt from the pre-selected fabric. After sweeping and fitting you can start the final sewing. To make the clothes sit well and look beautiful on the dog, add it with velcro fasteners and make a collar-stand. As for the vest, it's even easier to make it. You can use different fabrics, because it all depends on for what particular purposes you want to sew this kind of clothes for dogs. If it is necessary to warm the pet in the cold, choose a dense fleece or soft drape. For summer time of the year any fabric you like is suitable, the main thing - do not forget about naturalness. The basis for the pattern will be: the length of the back and chest to the last rib of the dog and the girth of the trunk and chest. Make the measurements transferred to the paper for the pattern. But it should be noted that you will again have two parts - a backrest (from two halves) and a bottom. After you have the drawings of the necessary parts of the vest before you, transfer them to the fabric, sweep them and try on. If necessary, fit the dog and then sew. The fastener, which is supposed to be on the back, can be made in the form of a strap with Velcro or insert buttons. 
Boots for crumbs
Shoes for dogs are often a necessity,especially in bad rainy weather or on frosty days. Make it yourself is not difficult. You need to take measurements from all four paws of the pet, putting them on paper and tracing along the contour (immediately make allowances for seams). Then determine the height of the limbs from the floor to the wrist joint and the thickness at the widest point. Since the pattern of the sole is already ready for you, proceed to the bootleg drawing. It will become a rectangle in which the length is the height of the future shoe, and the width is the thickness of the paw. Now transfer the results to fabric, cut, sweep and sew. The outer part of the sole is made of leather or fine rubber, and the inner part is made of felt and basic fabric. To make the dog comfortable, we sew the sole with the outer seam to the boot, which can then be impregnated with a glue for waterproofness. As for the fixation of shoes on the paws, it is better to use a regular sewing gum. Remember that the dog needs to run and jump for a walk. Therefore, make small cuts at the level of the wrist joint and pass a rubber band through them. After fitting, sew it or leave the ends for tying, fixing them with knots, so that they do not get out of the holes. If you do not want to sew, then remember that many dogs need a personal wardrobe not for the sake of beauty and fun. So get them what they can protect from the weather. After all, in our climate, miniature short-haired animals simply freeze, so clothing for them is an absolute necessity. Warm overalls are designed so that they do not constrain the movement of the dog and allow your pet to frolic in the fresh air. In addition to overalls, for miniature breeds, they also sell warm coats and fur coats. When your pet is freezing, you can always notice it - it immediately begins to tremble tremendously. Also, make sure that the dog does not overheat - it also does not do her good. If the street is not severe frosts, then you can put on an animal jacket, and in rainy weather - raincoat. And do not forget about shoes! You and yourself, as a hostess, will be pleased that the dog on his return from a walk does not have to wash his paws. We advise you to read:
