Blue Ruffle Dog shirt with Lace Trim In preperation for our first vendor show we set a goal for ourselves in making and finishing our new projects. I had had the idea for this new style of dog shirt/sweater for awhile so I hurried up and got them made. I love how they turned out.

Shout out to Doris Yu of Littlemeecreations.com. Using her free pattern I was able to make my own little crocheted papillon puppy.
