I found a really easy tutorial for making a patterned doggie leash.
$70? Yeowtch! I mean, crafting myself, I definitely respect the need to price fairly according to your time, but unless that leash was made of some magical stuff, that's really expensive. Some people really overcharge. All that leash is, in the tutorial I read, is a small strip of canvas fabric, 2 yards long, plus cute patterned fabric, and a metal hook to attach to the leash. That shouldn't be very difficult at all, or expensive. I'll research into it more and let you know. My main concern is just making sure I can find the thick strong canvas fabric, so I know the leash won't snap or break. Your dogs are good enough at escaping without adding a flimsy leash to that problem. XD

Ahahaha

Yeah, I would worry about the durability for non-purse-sized dogs. Once, when I was talking my friend's greyhounds, a lady's dog broke off his leash and attacked us and that dog was like Charlie's size, I think.

I bought some really awesome fleece material for pet toys! It has nice texture to it, it's the kind of fleece I see on a lot of dog toys. Hooray for Jo-Ann's Founder Sale! I'll be trying to make some soon.

Today, I bought some amazingly pretty buttons on sale and make some pincushions. I only had enough day light to make photos of one of the though.

I like that the buttons match the flowers in the fabric!

[Shlup]

Oo, yes, those buttons are pretty.

I am going through BUTTON MANIA.

I've been told that having a separate twitter for your shop/business is a good way to get views. Please add me if you'd like updates on new items!

I've been using interfacing and a new sewing technique for these new pouches, and I see a big improvement already! Woo hoo!
