Upcycled

From this...



I've been on a long hunt for an appropriate winter jacket for Remy.  Thanks to an enviable lack of fat, he shivers when the weather's even a little bit chilly.  I couldn't really find any suitable (and reasonably priced) options in stores, but I did come across a style that I thought would fit him well.  From that pattern, I modified the fit to get it just right for my pooch.  This required a very patient model, willing to stand still for long periods of time while I measured and fit and perfected the paper bag pattern.  He did grow weary after awhile.  Once the pattern was settled, I went on a hunt for the fabric.  After a suggestion from mom, I used two jackets that I bought from Community Aid for less than $15.  Remy's sporting both Columbia and Lands' End in this fine jacket.  Jealous!
