How to Make a Custom Dog Vest (in HD)

[@kimbahuth6503]

This was the most comprehensive and easy to understand video and pattern for this!

[@Copperpot415]

great design and instruction. Max looks handsome in his coat!

[@Gr8ergood]

I love that you showed the patterning process as well as the sewing. Thank you for the fun video.

[@dontswin]

I am starting from scratch! I don't even know how to use a sewing machine but I am going to get one very soon and make a coat or sweater! Plus, I can then repair all the clothes that need fixin. I like your video. You are a great teacher! Thanks!

[@michelleheath]

Totally showing it off! So cute! Very simple pattern. I'm making one for my smaller rottie out of old blue jeans. Using your pattern. I already took measurements today. Will work on it next week. If it turns out I will share pictures. Thank you for an easy pattern.

[@thobeka_lee]

People tend to be afraid of my staffy when we go on walks because he looks so intimidating, but he is such a dopey, friendly, happy guy. Thank you for sharing such an easy and clever way to make him look less threatening :)

[@MsKariSmith]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. I have two Rotties that this jacket will do well for keeping them warm on cold winter days!

[@OutstandingVideos]

You're very observant homebodyfl! For the greyhounds I went to Goodwill and bought some turtleneck, long sleeve shirts (probably medium size), then I cut a 'V' out of the front and made a seam, this helped the shirt fit the greyhound better. Greyhounds have almost no body fat so the shirt was added for warmth on cold days, it's separate from the vest. Good question!

[@terryholland2526]

Thank you for doing this video of a larger dog. Every time I see a video such as these, they always have a small dog involved. Thank you doing a big do.

[@Wreinie]

I made mine today wow! It didnt take that long. I am not normally a sewer, my prefrence is usually crocheting. However, this was a fun easy project that both my lil girl and I seem to enjoy :) She modeled it so good for me from making the pattern to the final showoff :) Thank you soo very much. I hope you dont mind but I am linking this to my facebook to share with others :) I was going to share the link of the picture, but wont let me, durn

[@mariamosquera3359]

you are great. thank you so much, your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I was starting to get frustrated as all the videos I watched very unclear or too fast. now I can definitely get my dogs ready for winter.

[@lynmcmahon4050]

Terrific video, thanks. It’s mid-summer here. Our dogs were clipped yesterday, today is the coldest we’ve had in months! Your video will make our boys very happy 😀

[@mkmldh7278]

I watched many video but didn't understand but your video was the best and easy to understand I made a coat

[@EVEY71]

Thank you very much, I looked at many ideas for free coats as I want to make them for a rescue group. Your video is so easy to follow, you dont rush, and make sure we get it lol...now I can make my own patterns which has now saved me a bunch of money for buying them which I was considering until I saw your video. kind regards Janet

[@1mtdog]

Thank you so very much. I have sewn them in the past and often had difficulty fitting accurately. I used muslim which is very cheap to make the pattern as well. Your video was so informative yet easy to follow. Will view your other videos as I love to sew.

[@D351JATTZ]

way better than i 1st thought. thanks 4 takin your time to make this vid

[@LittleMissVillan]

So helpful! My only bad thing was the gum smacking! But other wise AWESOME VIDEO!

[@OutstandingVideos]

You're welcome; I'm so happy that you have your first dog, you will have years of joy!

[@loridavila1314]

Dog showers? Haha that has to be the cutest thing ever.

[@woodnwitchnls]

I love paper patterns . I make them ,adjust them, approve them ,and then I put on my info and then cover the whole thing with clear packing tape and I then have a forever pattern.

[@vegangrepresent4140]

Great tutorial thank you!🐾🐾🐾💜🐕

[@horseloveremily123]

wow he looks adorable with his vest on :)

[@RoeRoe123]

Omg Julie, Max is adorable 🤗😍🥰 And that new vest WhooHoo Handsome 🐕 Thank you for this I'll be trying one this week.

[@CabinCreekTFVideos]

Thank you for your video. The instructions were very clear.

[@playinntraffic]

I will be using your method to make service dog vest for my dog! Thank you!

[@chokolate1305]

It would be nice to see the kind of stiches you used in the machine and a little of the sewing :)

[@saurabhsuman8030]

highly skilful video, really learned something good for my lab

[@Crafts4Cats]

beautiful choice of material, fantastic work, thank you

[@jonathanhebel8848]

Thank you for the great video. I have been trying to find a pattern to make a vest for our puppy who is in training to become a service dog. We have a commercially made harness that we have used on other dogs but she is too small for it and it covers her from neck to tail. This will allow me to make a few vests for her while she grows into the adult sized one. Thank you again!

[@rosewood513]

Nice video beautiful vest, gorgeous dog.

[@caspertheghost6492]

Thank you so much for this video I’m going to make this for my service dog he needs a vest but most of them are like $30 or even $80 and I’m young and my mom just doesn’t have it right now and I need to make one so I can take him to school and other public places so people won’t try to pet him or something like that so I’m going to make the vest and buy a couple of service dog please do not pet I’m working patches and see them on the vest I made by using this diy so thank you so much I couldn’t find a way to add pockets and stuff so thank much love keep the good work up this made my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@magnoliasouth]

Excellent video! I love that you made something for a larger dog. Most dog sewing videos are for foo-foo dogs, which I have nothing against the size of the dog, the problem is that the clothes are small and seeing the details and measurements are more difficult because they're so tiny. One question though: Did you change your needle or stitch length or anything for sewing over the nylon straps? I'm deadly afraid of nylon straps, but I need to make something with them and you're the perfect person I need to ask that about. You have a Brother like mine, so that makes your video even more helpful. Oh and ignore the ugly comments. If they think they could do it better, let's see them try. :)

[@nprosario]

what a great video!! do you happen to have a video of the jacket you made for your greyhound? I have a greyhound mix and its so difficult to get my guy warm.

[@barbarab8870]

You have Dog Showers???! I want to live in your neighborhood :) Thank you for the clear instructions. I plan to make custom dog coats for the holidays for our furry-family members.

[@Hachiko_459]

Dogs don't complain about the fit lol 😁

[@abbihuffstetler4835]

I have a black Labrador retriever!!!! That golden lab is beautiful!!!

[@209Quizzy]

Nice video,Thank you for sharing.I am making some,For our local SPCA,That say adopt me.I am looking on how to make a leather one,more of a harness type.Any ideas?

[@sofirodriguez5615]

this is very helpful in 2020!

[@allisonho1646]

@bestgameplayer01 I suggest you find or buy a coat that already fits your dog and use it to trace a template on a piece of paper and then you can use that as a guideline for all your future projects! I'm assuming your beagle is an adult, so he shouldn't change size too much over time. This will cut out the measuring step almost completely!

[@joseecampion7098]

Tank you for the instruction you make my day By by

[@RellikThreeper]

Would u be able to make one for a dog as a military style?

[@Kelseybelsey9]

This was soo helpful!! Thank you! I will have a very happy pup soon. :)

[@OverlyIntrospective]

Ok, 'dog showers' sound way more fun than baby showers.

[@annette27nice]

Hi i live in the uk and have been searching for coats for my two dogs a black lab and a bullmastiff and i do not like whats on the market .Yours are excellant !!!!! i am going to search for fabric now and then SEW ..Thank you for your video

[@lynns755]

Lovley jacket, cute labrador! Im going to make this vest. Thanks for clear instructions. :)

[@jyuskin]

Well done video - both in presentation and content. Thanks.

[@embermarie7175]

a trick I saw on a different video with some double-sided tape was the cut at a 45 degree angle I don't know if that would work for the material you are using but thought it might help. Love the video thank you sistar for all your help! 💚💚💚💚 Namaste

[@ag3211]

Dog showers!? I want to live in your neighborhood! :D thanks for the video.

[@SewSoFab]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@warehambears13]

Well done, and well done to Max x

[@ellenjanulis9617]

im making a service dog vest and this helped lots thanks!! : )

[@corporatejungles]

FYI, I take a hot glue gun and hot glue it down first so I can keep it stable until I sew it in place. It really helps. I found pinning it allowed for shifting during the sewing process.

[@omigodimawesome]

Great video....learned a lot thank you !!!

[@homebodyfl]

the greyhound has leggins in your video, is that part of the vest of separate. trying to make a dog pirate costume. thought the leggins could be made in to boots and pants. thanks

[@OutstandingVideos]

The greyhounds are wearing the vest over a turtle neck sweater that I modified to fit their body. I got the turtle necks at Goodwill.

[@xagg]

This is an excellent tutorial

[@MsUltimatehorselover]

AWesome!! I love it.... Can you please do a video on how to knit a hoodie or sweater more for sleaping . thanks xxx

[@lindaveijola7012]

I loved your video !

[@Peanuts_Paws]

Great video thank you for sharing

[@maryjanesteinbrecher5655]

Loved the entire video. Thanks hcg

[@wendijackson8844]

At 0:36, you show a greyhound that has sleeves for the front legs. How did you sew that one? I have a black mouth cur that basically has a pittie body. He has shirt hair and gets cold easily. I want to cover him as much as possible to keep him warm.

[@7447ttl]

In this case it is very practical to make some kinds of garments for animals.

[@baruch72001]

So nice. Helped Me alot. Thanks

[@Destiny-eg5xp]

Anyone know what is the size of a lab's girth/chest measurement in inches?

[@prettywoman7995]

Very nice..

[@OutstandingVideos]

Thanks!

[@jkee7017]

I have been making coats for dog's and sending them to rescue homes. Every dog deserves a warm coat. I do use three layers I put wedding between the layers I also put fabric belly straps so I can make them wider for more comfort.

[@bossladyesq]

Awesome, thanks.

[@fractalInsanity]

great video. very helpful thanks =)

[@JHudgins6]

[@latosa18]

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I like to know where to buy cooling fabric, to make dog coats

[@annat5337]

fantastic!!

[@indigo21]

The Labrador Retriever has three coat color designations assigned by the AKC. Yellow, Chocolate and Black. There are no Golden Labrador Retriever unless he is mix, then he should be stated as a mix.

[@michellechavez9274]

Cool I want to make one for my dog

[@PastelitoChan]

max is so cute

[@sandysanasith4907]

thanks very much, please show me how do you make tuxedo for dog.thanks again..:)

[@7447ttl]

Since we got our new rat terrier puppy we've found out how dangerous it is to be a dog, so we need to put something on him to make him more visible. He's very energetic and we never know where he may go. Some fluorescent orange shits would be a good thing for him to have.

[@kathrynletchford8603]

That coat is a token coat. It leaves alot of the dog cold.

[@michellechavez9274]

How do you put letters on it?
