Dog’s Breakfast.

h2

I’ve finished my hottie cover for Cam, but it’s a bit of a dog’s breakfast I’m afraid.

h3

The bias binding on the ends are, quite frankly, not only my worst attempts ever at my old nemesis, but the worst attempts at bias binding in the history of the world, ever.

h5

I would re-do it but I am scared I’d ruin it even further so I am just going to pretend it’s perfectly fine & that all bias binding looks like it was actually sewn on by a dog…

h4

….and the inside is just…. abominable. The blanket frayed more than I thought it would & …*trails off into a litany of whiny excuses*

h1

I do like the floppy ear though. That’s something.

    OH MY GOD_ LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOVEEE it.
    Best dogs brekkie ever- and who cares about the inside.
    If someone's checking inside well, they need a life xo

    Very cool. I will make one with the big niece when she comes in the holidays. Will use my dog Sally who has a bit of Dashie in her. Mainly Chi-foxie.

    I think you might be claiming worst bias a bit early there - I'm struggling with a simple baby blanket over here and spending way too much time with the quick unpick.
    I love your daschund hottie cover, I think it is completely fab and I'm so excited it will be hanging around with my cover heating things up!

    That floppy ear is adorable. But I understand what it's like to finish a project and only be able to focus on what a pain in the arse it was!

    Beofre I saw it was a doggie, I thought it might be one of those hammers in The Wall film clip. Are you too young to understand that reference? Anyway, I totally LOVE the hot doggie hottie. Ears and binding and blankie and all. Great job.

    I think it's fantastic. I'm glad other people struggled with some of the sewing bits too. I don't want anyone looking too closely at the lining under the drawstring on my hottie. Sh!

    It's cute!!

    But I'm a bit confused...why does it look like there's 2 covers stitched together? Have hot water bottle covers evolved when I wasn't looking cause mine you just stick the bottle through the top and it only has 2 sides lol.

    What a great idea! And if it makes you feel any better, I sewed mine up and then realised the cardboard bit wouldn't fit inside, so I had to unpick the neck, except I'd already clipped the curves.... so I've stitched felt over the dodgy bits. And I started putting bias on the top opening, but it was totally rubbish, so I just lined it... probably where my measurements went out the window. Anyway, I think your idea is lovely, and it would actually work with a hottie in it, which is fab. Hooray to you, lovey.

    Oh it's fantastic! I am with Kate, I thought it was one of them hammers too. I love the little hottie dog!
    As for bias binding, some days I can and other days I curse it. I think you've done a gorgeous job!

    Okay firstly I am glad I am not the only one who though the first picture was a hammer. Silly me! I love the sausage dog. He is so cute! What a great idea.
