I Love to Create - Wee Weenie Dog Outfits



Remember a few weeks ago when I told you about the Buda Weenie Dog Races? At the time I was questioning whether or not I had the time to pull together matching weenie outfits for the kids. Never one to let an occasion to dress in theme pass my by I made weenie outfit magic happen. Got a pair of kids and a love of dachshund? If you answered yes, today's I Love to Create post was made for you.


SUPPLIES
Cotton Fabric
Ribbon
Yellow Onesie
Yellow T-shirt
Aleene's Fabric Fusion Glue
Sewing Machine
Silhouette of a Weenie Dog
Thread
Aleene's Tack It Over and Over


Using the silhouette of the weenie dog I printed out I traced it onto cotton fabric. I cut the weenie dog out and cut it in half. Using Aleene's Tack It Over and Over half of the dog went on the onesie and the other on the T-shirt. I then stitched the dog halves onto the shirt and onesie.


Using Fabric Fusion Glue and ribbon I made Tallulah's side of the shirt a little more feminine with a few bows.


The trickiest part of this otherwise super easy project was getting a picture of my kids side by side so you got the effect. I knew and they looked cute and that is all that matters to me.


I also had to share an amazing pair of handmade weenie dog earrings I spotted at the races. Pretty much the second cutest crafty thing there.

  1. How totally cute! What a great idea. Your babies are so adorable. And thanks so much for the wonderful comment about my Mother's Day cake. I loved doing it. Going to take a cake decorating course at Michael's next month, so hoping to learn some tricks. Strangely enought, your comment has disappeared from my blog.....I wonder if it had something to do with the probs that Blogger was having yesterday. Thanks again Jennifer..and I love your blog and your book. It sits on my shelf with all of my craft books of inspiration. Hope that you are having a great weekend.
