Coat for My Grand-Puppy

I finished a coat for my grand-puppy last week but hadn't posted any pictures.  I made Riley's coat out of blue rip-stop nylon for the fashion fabric and I had some blue fleece fabric for the lining.  The coat needed to be water resistant since my daughter and son-in-law and their dog, Riley, live in Oregon where it rains a lot.

The coat won't keep him completely dry but at least there won't be as much of him to dry off hopefully.

Here's a couple pictures.  I used my phone and the lighting distorted the color in one photo.  The coat is blue, not purple! ;)

Front View

Back View.  Pockets with white buttons. 

The coat has a couple pockets on the back if my daughter and son-in-law want to put some little treats inside or something else. The pattern calls for trim in the view I used but since this is supposed to be more of a rain coat I left the trim off.  I actually combined a couple views of the pattern.  Sewing this dog coat was not hard at all, but I found out it was a little more time consuming than I had anticipated.  I maybe spent 5-6 hours on it total, but not all at one time.

Now I just have to send it off along with some other presents.  My daughter has already seen pictures and knows about the coat.  Otherwise I would not be posting this till after Christmas! ;)

I hope to make a couple other gifts for Christmas if I have time.

Thanks for reading,
