Okay, here's a super easy tutorial for you to make an adorable t-shirt for your special pup!!
~All you need is the following:
1) A onesie
2) sharp scissors (be careful!)
3) needle & thread OR *sewing machine and thread if you want to sew a hem along the bottom. You could also use no sew hem tape :)
Step 1~
Pick out the onesie you're going to use! I paid $3.50 for the one pictured at Walmart ~ my Chloe weighs 9 pounds so I got the newborn size. You could also pick one up a thrift shop ~ it doesn't have to be new! I just had to have this shirt because I call my Chloe, my love bug! So it is perfect! (If you are planning on sewing a hem at the bottom of your shirt, wash and dry the shirt first) Now, that you've picked out a onesie, remember that the front of the onesie will go on your pup's back ~ yes, they wear it backwards! I put the onesie on my pup to determine how much to cut off. Then just cut the bottom of the shirt off where desired!
Step 2 ~
Flip the shirt over and cut a contour shape (see photo) on the back of the onesie so that the shirt is shorter on the underside of your pup's tummy :)
Step 3~
Sew it as desired ~ I personally only sewed by hand over the part where I cut through the side seams of the shirt to reinforce the original seam~ and I only did it as a precaution to keep it from possibly unraveling
**If desired, you could use no sew hem tape OR a sewing machine with matching thread to add a seam along the bottom of the shirt.
Step 4~ put it on your pup!!
Isn't my Chloe Bug adorable?!
Maybe your pup will "bark" his/her sign of approval when you're done!! My Chloe Bug did!
And now to make a couple more... I have 3 doxies after all!! <3
