Dog Coat Sewing Challenge Schedule

Measuring Your Dog
A proper custom-fit ensures the most comfort and best chance your dog will enjoy wearing their new coat. I'll take you through each measurement and exactly where to measure.

Gathering Supplies
Now that you know how big your dog is it's time to gather your supplies. Use the fabric estimator to figure out how much fabric you'll need and get all the other accessories needed.

Part Four - March 13th
Sewing the Coat
Now it's time to sew the coat. We'll start by sewing on the piping cord. Then we'll add the collar. And we'll finish by attaching the lining and adding the hook and loop fastener. Maybe even add a leash opening!

Here's What People Are Saying
Really Impressed with the Patterns
I was really impressed with the patterns, and video tutorials, especially as I hadn't sewn in a very long time (amazing what you forget). Your information was easy to follow, and my raincoat was very professional looking.
The Best-Fitted Dog Coat I Have Ever Made
This pattern was definitely the best-fitted dog coat I have made. I was able to customise the pattern pieces (with the help of Jill’s advice/tutorial) to my dog's measurements while also considering the length of my dog's body.
The step-by-step instructions are well presented and understandable via video and everything necessary is explained. On top of that great tips are provided on materials, supplies, tools etc.
Jill's patience and assistance in times of uncertainty were very helpful.
Through Jill’s warmth, patience and passion my interest in custom-designed dog apparel sewing has grown even more. I am proud to be a member of this exclusive group.
I am Proud of My Transformation
Today, I am proud of my confident transformation. I still have a lot to learn and will face new future challenges. But Jill is a special person and wonderful teacher and an inspiration to me. If you have any unanswered questions Jill is always willing to help through her experience and patience. Sewing dog wear has become my NEW passion. A dream of mine has been fulfilled and Jill has made the learning curve easier and enjoyable.

Meet Jill
I am the pattern designer and educator here at Scouter Wear Club and the founder of Scouter Wear, a small boutique company that has been hand-making a full line of water-resistant dog coats, hand-knit dog sweaters and dog accessories since 2016.
My high-quality waterproof dog coats were borne out of numerous experiments with various techniques, materials, styles, and features, and I want the opportunity to share that knowledge with you.
Before I started Scouter Wear, I owned an eLearning company for over 12 years, developing online courseware. I draw on these roots to create interactive learning that is fun and inviting for avid home stitchers who want to work with their hands and build new skills.
