From the mailbag: Rebecca from Wyoming writes that she made the Pin-up Girl halter top for her…dogs! She wanted to make them bright-colored vests so they wouldn’t be mistaken for wild animals when she took them hiking during hunting season. Rebecca used the Generation T halter top pattern as described in project #1 in the book (minus the pin), then cut an approximately 4″ slit from the center of the bottom front edge. Her dogs, Mbera and Yaz, wear the halter backwards. Rebecca tied the corners created by the slit at the dogs’ backs to make the vest more fitted.
Here they are, the pinup pooches, outfitted and ready for an outdoor outing!
Rebecca reports that Mbera and Yaz find their vests very comfortable–and the bright oranges sure make them stand out!
