Making my new coat!

Hello! As you may know, I am a Great Dane. Therefore, I have very short hair that provides me with little protection against the cold, cold winters of Wyoming. As you also may know, Great Danes are very large, so it is hard to find a coat that isn't too small. (Even though I'm still small for my breed, because I am still growing)
Anyway, Mom and I decided to make my own coat.

I sent mom to the store for me to pick up some fabric. Her and I share the same taste, so I trusted her to pick out good fabric. Mom came home and the first thing we did was measured how big my coat needed to be. Mom bought 2 yards, but we only ended up using about a yard and a half. Then, she cut out the pieces. My coat has two layers, So we had to cut two of each fabric. We had the body piece, the straps to go under my belly, and the collar.

Then I had Mom sew my coat for me because believe it or not, I'm not very good with the sewing machine. I did try to help out with the sewing by laying down on the foot pedal. The sewing machine went nuts and Mom didn't think it looked very good so she used the seam ripper to take out what I had sewn. Whatever, She can't say I didn't try.
The whole sewing process look a really long time. Mom had to sew the inside and outside together, then add the straps, collar, and bias tape binding around the edges.

Finally! After waiting forever, My new coat was complete. Mom added some buttons to the collar so it would stay down. I think it looks pretty cool. And finally, a coat that fits me! I can't wait to wear it to work!
