Except for the velcro ( will do that last to control how many of each size) I have 4 of the vests done for your fundraiser. I am making 8 so you can pick out the 6 that you think will sell the best. Here's a peek..........


The fish fabric is such a cool color but my photo yellowed it a bit. It's very nice quality as well. Actually all of these are because they are quilting grade fabrics. The fish is the smallest one. Isn't the pasta one a hoot? That is why I asked Noodles 'n Me about the size of her Noodle. Thought she might want some of this fabric for a scarf or something. Perhaps I am just too corny and noodle fabric is the last thing she would want. 

I am rethinking my choice of the golf fabric because it may not appeal to many people but that one person might just go "ga ga" for it. Ratbone had a pup named Jelly Bean (he was a special needs fellow - had problem with hind legs) and I thought of him when I was sewing this one. I don't believe he has showed up on RT.com.

Those are all great. 

I am involved in PAWs (Protecting Animals of Western Wisconsin Society) and we are doing a fundraiser in October at a craft sale.

I have come to a stop in vest produciton because i need another trip to JoAnn's fabric for D rings. Here are the last four. Go ahead and let me know which 6 you want for the fundraiser and I will then add velcro to them and try to make them three different sizes.  I didn't know if where you live anyone would be offended by the wine fabric - it is actually very nice, high quality and lovely colors that are a bit distorted in the photo.

You can PM me with your address and I will send some noodle fabric - it is so funny! I don't have much of the fish because it was a small piece to begin with. I have other fish, mostly colorful tropical fish on black background, but the fabric stores should have the more realistic fish fabrics like the one I used in the vest. There seems to be no shortage of fish fabric anytime I am looking for it and you can ask them to cut you a fat quarter.

We are in Wisconsin.  The place where there are at least three bars to town with a population of 100 or more people (just joking)  but we do have a lot of bars around here!!!!

I've broken a couple needles but it's not too bad. I kinda have it down to a science now. One time I accidentally got the adhesive back velcro and that was a disaster. The adhesive gummed up the sewing needle. I went thru 3 sewing machines needles just trying to do one vest. Eventually I scraped it because I was worried about the adhesive in the washing machine and on the pup's hair - just couldn't stand the thought.
