Advice for Your Next Step

Once you've completed your first handmade dog outfit, congratulations! Now it's time to build on what you've learned and try something new.

Recommended Projects After the Basic Tank Top

If you've mastered the basic tank top, here are a few great next steps to challenge yourself while growing your skills:

• Try a T-shirt-style garment with sleeves
• Add hoods, pockets, or frill for more detail
• Practice working with rib knit around the neckline and hem
• Use more complex patterns such as jackets, coats, or dresses with gathered sections

These projects will teach you new techniques like attaching sleeves, managing curved seams, and working with layered fabrics.

Explore New Fabrics and Materials

As you level up, consider experimenting with:

• Double-knit or terry knit for warmth and stretch
• Woven fabrics for structured designs like shirts or raincoats
• Velour or ponte knit for elegant or cozy outfits
• Decorative items such as lace, snaps, and reflective tape for outdoor use

Each fabric and item will teach you something new and add charm to your handmade dogwear collection.
