Susan Marlowe CPA and the best of the internet

Welcome from Susan Marlowe CPA! I am going to be sharing some great dog fashion information that I found on the internet. I love watching online videos for instructions and ideas. I hope you enjoy Susan Marlowe’s best of the internet as well. (In unrelated news, I am going to be busy putting up professional listings. For some reason I keep showing up in the cal cpa lookup so I want to make sure all my listings are correct. So if you don’t hear from me for a while, that’s why. Need to check aicpa as well.)

How to Make A Dog Sweater from Recycled Baby Sweaters

You know that cute baby sweater that is 50 cents at your friendly local thrift store? Well, it turns out that you can turn that sweater into an equally adorable sweater for your little dog friend. This video has really clear instructions.

Video Description

I have chosen to use Simplicity Pattern # 2755, I picked it up at my local Hobby Lobby during their .99 Simplicity pattern sale, limit 10. Simplicity crafts have a Go Green Collection for Dog Clothes which I love.

This is a easy beginner pattern with simple stitch patterns and shaping.

Simplicity Pattern 2755 Review

The pattern comes with a guide for sewing each design on the pattern, and this pattern comes with five unique designs. 
The pattern offers three size choices extra small, small, and medium. I have cut out the extra small for our dog Pocahontas.

Each size comes on a large sheet of tissue paper neatly folded inside. You will need to cut these pieces apart, which makes them easier to handle. Cut around each piece, just outside the solid line throw away the tissue that is left over.

Very Nice Packaging

Each pattern pieces is clearly marked with names as front, back, and sleeve to help us. Included in the directions are illustrations to the left of the each steps, giving you a picture that helps to clarify the instructions.

As a CPA, I know I should know better, but I am really thinking of throwing myself into the dog clothing business full time. I will have to spend a little more time to make sure that it is viable (after all, I am still an accountant) but I will let everyone know if I decide to go into this business full time.

Thanks from Susan Marlowe CPA!
