My Little Guinea Pig

About a month ago I got a sewing machine for a few reason. One, I was in desperate need of a talent of some sort. Of course, being athletic is great, but in the world of Provo, Utah, if you don't sing (like me) and don't play an instrument (like me) and can't create cute things to show off to your friends (like me a month ago) you pretty much feel like a huge failure. Two, I wanted a new hobby. And three (which I didn't know was a reason until after I started sewing), I wanted to dress Diesel up in cute little clothes without feeling guilty spending money on stupid dog outfits.

I started simple. After going through my t-shirts I found a BYU shirt that I haven't worn in quite a while, cut it up, and started sewing. It was so funny because Diesel stood so proud every time I held something up to him to measure it. He kept trying to jump on my lap to see what I was making him. And what did I make him? A cape, and he LOVES it. He prances around the house like he's such a stud and it's just so funny.

The second thing I made was a little more ambitious, and I think it turned out pretty good.

Ok, so it turned out a little huge. I blame the size chart on the back, because while Diesel's body length may be a medium, nothing else really is. Don't worry, I did a little improvising and now it fits better. The best part is Diesel loves wearing it and he looks so cute.

I also made James and myself some pajama pants, but those aren't nearly as cute.
