Clothes for small dogs are not usedonly for beauty, but represents protection of our beloved pet from any bad weather, snow or rain. Using clothes, you can always protect your dog from possible drafts, cold and dirt. And, perhaps, one of the most functional things will be a vest, which can be worn on the dog either separately or under overalls during extreme cold. As for sewing and pattern making, the vest is very easy to make. And the ideal option for this type of clothing would be fleece, because... It retains heat perfectly, dries perfectly, stretches well and fits the figure. Now let's start creating the pattern. First, you need to take your dog's measurements. The main ones are:

the length of your pet's back (measure from tail to neck);
chest circumference (measured behind the elbow joint).

After measuring the length of the back of the dog, dividethe resulting value is 10. The resulting length will correspond to the side of the square of your pattern. Take whatman paper and draw a grid where the size of each square will correspond to the value you obtained. Now you need to transfer the outlines of the parts onto the sheet along the grid cells as shown in the picture.This vest has a zippered back and consists oftwo pieces, and the belly is a one-piece piece. You need to cut out the resulting pattern, transfer it to a piece of fleece prepared in advance and trace it with a piece of chalk or soap. Here you need to take into account some points. If your machine has a zigzag function, then the pieces should be sewn end to end, and if not - then be sure to take into account the seam allowances. Now proceed to the fastener. A large plastic zipper is ideal. Baste it to the fleece before stitching, because the fleece can stretch. If you plan to sew a vest with a lining, then you need to make a similar pattern, but you need to choose a different material. The lining pieces need to be connected to similar pieces that you made earlier and basted. Process the fastener of the product. And sew the pieces of the belly and back so that the letters match. Finally, you need to process the armhole and collar. If desired, you can sew or knit a collar, hood or sleeves and sew them to your vest. Use your imagination to the fullest and then your favorite dog will get not only a warm, but also a stylish vest.
