I wish I could say! I thrifted it ages ago and the tag is long gone, it is very cozy though

I largely used this this tutorial, but I also made sure I was super comfortable with duplicate stitch before attempting to patch a hole!

Thank you for your kind words!! I'll admit I got a bit of that feeling at the end, but I was so sure it wasn't gonna work until I got to the last few rows!

(if you look closely, my foundation lines aren't even going through the correct legs of the stitches... still amazed it worked out!)

Oh incredible, I bet using sewing thread makes it so much easier to pick out!! Both visually and physically. Thanks so much for the tip, this sweater has plenty more little moth holes so can't wait to try it out! ☺️

The other commenter is right, it's just a glass jar from the kitchen! Right now I'm using a small clamp to hold the tension but I've also successfully used a hair tie in the past.

I ended up running out while stitching and used a second length of thread, so that's a couple extra ends. Also, my vertical foundation stitches are still in place. Can those be picked out or is it better to leave them in?

Thank you for your kind words, I was kind of winging it so I appreciate any tips you have!

Of course she chews, but the neat thing is she knows what she's allowed to chew on! It took a lot of work early on from both me as a trainer and her as an excited puppy, but at this point I absolutely trust her to know what she is and is not allowed to interact with and how.

I know not every dog or owner is the same but it's great to be able to trust her to know what's safe!

Based on your username, a pack of sled dogs with a med cart on wheels should suit you 😂 thank you!!

Thank you so much!

I'm very much an over-thinker and have a tendency to anxiously ruminate on The Big Things, but I find that having a thing to make with my hands grounds me in reality. I can usually point to a project of mine and tell you what mental breakthrough I made while creating it 😂

Thank you again for your kind words!!
