Title: Wanting to make... Post by: BilboMisty on October 14, 2010, 08:21:01 pm I wanna make a Parrot Shoulder cape. I saw one in the Dr.'s Foster and Smith catalog, and it's a good idea.

That was the plan i came up with after I made the post...I THINK it might work. Title: Re: Wanting to make... Post by: BPMar on October 15, 2010, 06:08:53 am :twirl: thats cool!
Yeah, I would take an old sweatshirt and just cut around it. It would slip over your head easy enough or you could cut up the front and slap some velcro on it! :thumb: Title: Re: Wanting to make...

I got an old bib from work for when people come over and want Yoshi to hang with them but don't want accidents...just in case. Title: Re: Wanting to make... Post by: Sondra on October 15, 2010, 07:27:12 am Why not just cut a circle out of cloth and then cut up the middle and make a circle where you want it to go around your neck? This way you could use hook & eye to hold close and then place toys on it all over. Don't forget to put lots of big buttons and a couple of treat holders on it too.

Title: Re: Wanting to make... Post by: BilboMisty on October 17, 2010, 04:26:01 pm I'm about halfway done now...it's taking me so long cuz i dont have a sewing machine, so I have to hand sew...BEAR WITH ME!
Im also gonna sew on a pocket for treats, and one of those toy hook thingys (cant think of what they are actually called)..LOL Title: Re: Wanting to make... Post by: BPMar on October 17, 2010, 04:41:21 pm I hear ya with the hand sewing! :slaph: My machine is in the basement and I don't know where D put the pedal to it! :oopse5: :pit:
Either way I am sure it will be cute and hopefully very handy for you! Title: Re: Wanting to make... Post by: Debz on October 17, 2010, 05:00:48 pm It's called a toy hook thingy. *snort :goober:
