Just watched your "boxer shorts and skirt for Coco" video, March 12, 2024. Needed to review sewing pants like that, haven't had a female dog requiring them since brerding my Cocker Spaniel, 1996. I made little blue jeans for her and a matching pair for her mate because he marked territory during their "honeymoon." A little elastic in the inside curve of the legs and either along the belly or on either side of the belly helps the fit and helps them stay in place. I have an 8 month old female Golden Retriever now and need to get prepared for her cycles. I'll have to stitch on buttons and buttonholes for her--she loves ripping velcro apart. Good demo! Thanks.
My puppy has started her cycle and I didn't know. A few days ago I saw a very small droplet of blood on my bed sheet. I thought maybe my finger bled or something but didn't find a cut. My husband thought the same thing about himself. Then today my teenage son said Lucy is on her period. Gosh, I should have known but I have never had a pet before. Anyway I will try your pattern. For now though, I have a pair of panties she chewed a hole in. I will use those with a pad and put her tail through the hole. Lol 😆 probably velcro them on. I bought panty liners for the diaper this evening
Thanks for this! I just adopted my 6 dog and same as you first time a female dog. And the second day she was here she started being in heat. So I want to make sanitary pants for her!
Awe, Coco is absolutely adorable! In the states, we call these bit*h britches. My 8 year old female Boxer just finished her cycle. Always fun to design and make small alterations to new britches, especially so they don’t bind her inner loins when she lays down. Her name is Diva and she prances around like a Diva when she has her pants on. I also enjoy making doggie coats, although they don’t get much use here in Florida!
I have the same thing happening with my puppy right now! first time having a female dog ^^ this video is going to be very helpful! getting my fabric today =D for the sanitary pad instead I will finally have a use to old cloth diapers insert too =D
My girl is going to be 4 yrs old, a German Shepherd, and I am wondering how you determined what size to make? Not sure if I have "britches" like yours to use as a template. Well done video demonstration, BTW! Thank you 😊
Vicki, for a German Shepherd, you might try men's underwear as well. If you have any scrap fabric, I'd wrap that around your girl, and mark some lines as a size guide, then make up similar to underwear 🙂
@Christine's Home Affairs I haven't sewn any from scratch, but I have done the men's underwear, purchased a pair online that have velcro, childrens diapers, and tried numerous other ways, but I still have all kinds of mess (the diaper shifts & it actually misses the sanitary pads 🙃) plus they fall off at times. I am perfectly willing to make my own, just trying to find a good fit I guess!
@VickiJD22 I had problems with it slipping as well. I used extra Velcro to adjust pants when they're on. They wriggle around so much, it can be difficult to keep them on. I later found more stretchy fabric tightened better without causing discomfort

What a beautiful project. She looks adorable 🧡 thank you 😊
She is our pride and joy😁
I laughed with you at the end of the video with the frilly decoration! I'm going to try to make one for my Lab girl.
Haha yes, it was too funny 😁
I was searching and this is the best video yet. Thanks on my way to sew some doggy under garments.
You are so welcome! Hope you do the little skirt too 😂
Lovely video and great demonstration. Also Coco is super cute.
Thank you 🤗 We love her

Haha, that's so funny Norma. Perhaps she was making her own panties in anticipation 😀

Girls are certainly different. Much more sassy I think.🤪
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs oh for sure!! She is very sweet but certainly sassy! But maybe that will change after her heat ( i hope 🤞🏻). Thanks!
Great video. The tail hole seems a little fiddly to me. I found putting seam binding around easier. Just a thought.
Really needed this for my puppy ❤️ thanks😊
You’re welcome 😊

Yea we love our Coco. She brings us so much joy.
Diva is certainly an appropriate name. I know Coco thinks she's a diva most days😁😁

The old cloth diapers will be great. Pitty I didn't keep the ones from my babies, but then that was 27 years ago😋😋
Hahaha.. what a cute hound-dog! 😍
Hha, would that be my singing or the dog? 🤣🤣
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Both! 🧡😁
Too cute!
Vickie😁
Will try. Lovely hair.
Thanks Ellen 😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs You are welcome. I made the dog diaper today and it came out good. Thank you for your tips.

Thank you for sharing and I Love it
You are so welcome
Thanks this is a great vid. Now to size my chihuahua 😳 don't think I can use my knickers for her lol😆
Also I'm glad to find something with out stupid looking frills and lace!
Oh yeah, I'm not into frills either 😄
Haha, try some toddlers knickers, but you could still use yours and pin the sides until they fit, then use that as a template🤭
perfect. thank you
Thanks Jo 😀
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😀
how did you workout what size knickers to use????
I just grabbed a saggy old pair out of my drawers and draped it around the dog to see if it would fit.🤣🤣
Heyy ...which size u made for ur dog???....and pls tell which area should i take measurement??
I measured around her waist, then added extra to provide for the velcro. As all the dogs vary in size, I did a test run first.
The volume is too low.
Sorry Karen. I've fixed that in future videos 😄
