We've been learning a little trick about getting through our eternally long Chicago winters: wear fun winter clothes.
I've developed my own collection of colorful winter coats that actually make me excited to wear them and get outside. So, we had to do the same for our pups to get us out there for longer winter walks.
After seeing a kid in a monster hoodie, I thought it might be funny to make some for the pups from their huge collection of hoodies. We found this tutorial and template.
For the dogs' hoodies, we used 3 sheets of contrasting felt to cut out 8 diamond shapes. We used fabric glue (Liquid Thread!) to glue the diamond shapes into the dinosaur spike. We like how the glue helps keep the scales stiff, and we have already washed the hoodies once and they were fine.
The whole family helps out!
Since we live in a very hipster-neighborhood, it was nothing new to see pitbulls walking around in dinosaur hoodies. Though these would also be really easy for the dogs to wear for Halloween.
Any other pups out there wearing hoodies?
