Dog Clothing Ideas
Many small dog lovers want to dress their dogs, whether for a special occasion or just for every-day. Some need clothing such as the hairless breeds but others just look better with a cute dress or coat.
Sure, you can go out to your favorite big box store, but wouldn’t be fun to create your very own clothes, both the sewn variety as well as those that require no sewing. Here’s some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
