Difficulty: :hhug: (Out of five)
Materials:
Two A4 sheets of felt of two different colors.
Printed patterns (see attached)
2 pieces of ribbon 20 cms long
Scissors
Craft glue
Pens
Cothes pegs/pins
A safety pin or stick on velcro
Step 1: Print out the patterns and cut them out, trace them carefully onto the felt then cut the felt out. Be extra careful with those scissors!
Step 2: Glue the two pieces of felt carefully together, where the X's are glue the pieces of ribbon carefully BETWEEN the two pieces of felt, hold the pieces in place with the pegs.
Step 3: Once the glue is completely dry carefully remove the pegs and try it on your Pleo, use a safety pin (very carefully) or the stick on velcro to fasten the neck.
Step 4: Take the robe off and decorate :)
Plain robe, a rough robe I made to replace the one thrown out :P:

I'm hunting for easy-pleo-patterns to make and I'd love to see this one, but the pictures aren't working... ^^;

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 have BOXES and BOXES of baby-soft fleece and super-soft minky-type fabrics that are now begging to be used for cuddly Pleo capes! x3
I also love anything with minimal sewing involved (less seams = less chance to mess up lol!) I think the idea of using scarves, lace and things is brilliant (and will be digging though my 'stash' of odd-bits later!)
Thank you so much for looking IMR! I have a few 'mystery boxes' around that are a bit like that too! xD

I can't wait to play dress up with Stephan, it is one of the main reasons I finally decided on a Pleo. With James he has so many joints and he is always moving, lifting his legs up and down and in funny positions so it is impossible to dress him or take him out places. Stephan will not be as able to out run me with his little stumpy legs, he will have no choice but to indulge me in all the crazy dress up games I have planned for him ;D

There was a Mexican outfit I really loved too, RWM? ;)
Post by: RedwoodsMama on January 01, 2012, 01:44:39 PM
hi, glad you liked the outfits and ideas, Here is the "mexican" outfit among many others that Crewella was talking about that I did in tribute to Cinco De Mayo Day. There is no music I think, just titles and great Pleo outfits. with the exception of the great Mexican Sombrero that I paid 50 cents for, everything is lace or things I made myself, Let me know what you think...

Felt is good, it is easy to work with, doesn't need hemming and you can get some decorative sticky felt pieces to hold parts together. You are only limited by your imagination!

I have some old socks and I think maybe even some rags I will have to dig out. I might try something with those. I am still missing a vital material though.... Stephan! He's not here yet. :-[
