[nagdu] winter coats

[Julie J.]

I've got a few ideas rolling around in my head.  I'm going to add some 
buttons or some sort of fastener thingy to the sweater to see if that will 
make it better.  I'm also going to try making something along the lines of 
the flap on the back with some old fabric I have.

I'm sure the dogs will love being my models this weekend!  LOL
