New coat for Izzy the Greyhound

This is our Greyhound, Izzy.  And this is her new coat. I didn't have a pattern for this but I used her old coat as a template.

I chose this cute fleecy fabric and lined it with some plain blue flannelette.  I just cut out the fabric, overlocked the edges together then used my bias binding foot to put some binding around the edges.

Next time I won't bother with the binding - I'll just top stitch the fleece and it should hold it's shape ok in the wash.

I stitched the front together at her chest and added a piece of wide elastic to one side, joining with a small press stud on the on the other side.

She is actually very pleased with it.
