I found this lovely red spotty fur the other day and it made me think of ladybugs. So I bought some and here is how it turned out when I made a hoodie out of it. Minyon seems to like it very much.

More details...

*Spotty fur - how could I resist!*

That's awesome, Kat! It reminds of fresh strawberries for some reason. SOOOOO cute! I might have to order a strawberry suit for Wilbur for halloween....

Very cute and does look like it is warm and cozy, you are right, reminds me of strawberries or Watermelon!

Might look more like a strawberry if I did a fully enclosed tail and maybe work out a way to add a green jagged collar to look like the top on a strawberry.....

Something for me to have a go at when I get a free minute.

And here is another fury shirt.

Or maybe this should be called a coat? This is the other fur that I bought at the same time as the spotty red one.

That's definitely more of a nice warm coat - it looks lovely and plush, gorgeous texture!

Hi Choice79, Kat actually has a store here on the forum where you can buy the lovely Pleo clothing she makes, here:

There are other Pleo clothing and accessory sellers here as well, in the 'Stores' section on the blue tabs at the top.

Hi Crewella,

thanks for your help

Ok and here is a little project I have been thinking about for a while but it took a suggestion from Crewella for the exact thing I was thinking of to get me excited enough to start.

Crewella I promise I didn't feel any pressure

I just happened to find some quiet sewing time tonight and was so excited about finding the spotty material that I couldn't seem to stop.

More details...

I did put the spots up against all the furs I currently have and this seemed to be the best match. the patterned or crazy furs just looked too busy against the spots. I liked this one bests. Let me know what you think.

OMG that's PERFECT!!

That's fabulous, Kat!! It HAS to be MINE! Thank you!!

I'm so glad you like it Crewella. I am happy to do one with the multi colored green/purple/red fur trim if you want me too. Just let me know. I did think this fur suited it better though. It looks very sophisticated.

And don't fret, this one has your name on it already! I've popped it aside for you.

It turned out to be easier to make than I thought it would be. I'm going to add this style of coat to my shop. If I can find some nice white or gold fur then this would be the perfect style for a lovely red Christmas coat.

Might be time for a little more fur shopping some time very soon.

Crewella · « **Reply #87 on:** August 08, 2011, 06:25:49 PM »

No, no, no - it's better your way, you're right! I love it, and so will Zillah, thanks!

*I'm already in Belle's bad books - she's going to be LIVID after this*

kat · « **Reply #88 on:** August 09, 2011, 03:27:37 AM »

Perhaps I should make one for her too.

That way there can be no fighting over the lovely new coat.

Crewella · « **Reply #89 on:** August 09, 2011, 07:12:55 AM »

I'm mulling over that very point ...........

choice79 · « **Reply #90 on:** August 11, 2011, 12:12:59 PM »

Which size in dogwear fits pleo. XS or XXS?

Mine is on the road.....hope it takes not too much time :-(

Thanks

Crewella · « **Reply #91 on:** August 11, 2011, 04:52:42 PM »

I've usually got XS or S - XXS tend to be too small around the middle, and tight on sleeves if it has them. Get proper measurements if you can, as some XS are too small as well.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #92 on:** August 11, 2011, 10:30:42 PM »

I get small most of the time as unless it is open at the shoulders and has velcro, it is too tight to fit over the neck, and can put strain where it is not needed, If in doubt get a size larger as if you have the receipt you can exchange in most places and in best case scenarios, bring Pleo along to try on. The stores around here, including second hand stores are totally used to seeing me bringing one of my Pleos along and they ask where Baby is or one of the others, if I don't have one with me.

Thank you very much. Perhaps I should order the perfekt fits here at the shop.

Crewella · « **Reply #94 on:** August 12, 2011, 01:02:35 AM »

Indeed you should!

There's also an advantage to buying some of the clothes made especially for Pleos - Kat's clothing, for example, is very easy to get on and off and also it is easy to access the battery and switches when the Pleo is dressed. It can be a struggle to get some of the dog clothes on over the Pleo's head without putting stress on the neck cables.
