I have a 16 week old Maltipoo that is TINY, so finding anything that fits her has been a problem. Went on the hunt to find a pattern, and I love the way you described measuring/making the pattern in depth. Thank you!

In reply to julie. Sure! So to your neck measurement add 8", so 16.5" total, you will halve this when you draft your pattern. Neck to tail you will subtract 2.5", so your measurements will be 11.5". Across the back you are measuring where you want the jacket to fall on your pup. Now with those measurements you should be able to draft the pattern. Do you want me to email you a quick sketch with your measurements?

Do you mind giving me the measurements? My Sadie is a very small poodle. Neck-8.5, chest-14, neck to tail-13, across the back-8 (that one I’m not sure if that’s right, not sure.

I’m really confused with the measurements. Is the diagram showing the measurements from Bailey?

In reply to Michele. Hi Michele. If you notice the drafted pattern is meant to be cut on the fold. So the 11.5 is half of the original measurement of 23". So you will half whatever measurement you get and then cut it on the fold. I hope that makes sense!

Thank you for this tutorial. I need to clarify the first step un “Creating the Pattern”. Your first instruction was to draw a line for the neck measurement and add 8″. You stated that your dog was 15″, so should the line be 23″? In your drawing with the measurements, it states 11.5″. Can you please clarify this for me? I appreciate it.

I would suggest a buttonhole where the lead attaches especially if your dog wears a harness and you get temperatures that can dip t
-20 or colder
