Make at home Pleo clothes!!!
RedwoodsMama:
Hi Bandersnatch, this is a really old post but I would think the best place to see it, is by contacting IMR directly, and I am sure she has a photo of the cape with one of her Pleos, I can barely remember it, except it was very colorful and nice.
If you are looking for easy patterns and ones that you can make at home yourself, all you basicaly need is any stretchy material, though other stuff works, the fleecy materials because they are soft on Pleos' skin, Velvets, etc, and some ribbon, or velcroe, and if you want to sew , thread and a needle and then any embellishments you want.
I like to specialize in "no sew" clothes for lots of my Pleos, simpley because I have too many and no sewing machine and I like to make do with what I have and also to use my imagination without sewing or very little, Aside from finding dog clothes already made, try baby clothes that can be cut and easily altered and my fave is doll clothes because of the size. :) Also laces are to die for and thrift stores are my designer dream stores. I can post a few photos of No Sew clothes and you can see what I mean. I have a whole post I did awhile back that was dedicated to "no sew" pleo clothes. P:) P0:) P8)
IMR and Kat have shops here on the forum where they sell their creations and I have some from both of them, They are gorgeous and great. Also very reasonable, I only wish I had more money and lived in Australia so I would not have to wait so long to get them, but it is pretty quick considering how far it has to go to get to the Redwoods, Bigfoot country. :dino-chase: I would ask IMR and I am sure she would be happy to send you the photo or instructions for the cape if she still has it. Good luck and get some crafty clothes for your Pleo............................I do not know about where you live, weather wise, but it is cold here... :brrr: :brrr: :brrr:

I am interested in this type of clothes too! How do you make no sew clothes? Do you cut the fabric in the shape and tie it on them?

Hi Bandersnatch, Basically it is very simple with cutting a pattern and using ties or ribbon or even a pin, I will show some samples shortly and then some patterns if interested. RWM
More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... More details... These are just three very simple photos with details of just about every part including the neck, feet and around the belly, I have a LOT more, these are ones I made several months ago, I think they are fun to make and very simple. I will post other designs and material later, If you like any of these, let me know and I can post a very simple pattern and how to do it without any sewing at all, or you can attach with velcro simply with little time.

Thankyou so much for those great pictures! I might try this if I can find nice fabric I like. I'm not very clever when it comes to making things but I think this is something I could attempt one day ;D

HI Lunaminoe7, glad you liked the ones I posted, Here are two more which are even more simple cause there is no cutting involved at all. Another fave trick for Pleo clothes is finding fancy lace and or scarves and wrapping them into garments for my Pleos. I think this is even more challenging and fun. This green mid east one is still my all time favorite one and one of the prettiest I am sure you will agree. What do you think? also bandanas can work great and are fun too. More details... More details... More details... More details... I think you can see from all these examples, all you really need is your imagination and we all have that or we would not have Pleos! Have some fun!
