I have been having a problem downloading the pics and videos from my note3 to my mac, so i'll start by sharing my idea for the poncho, This link will show what style I really liked. I didn't want to go with a plain poncho, so after hours of net searching for cool ponchos to modern ponchos, I came across this site and that was it! I won't add all the details but I like that it's different. We did start cutting out patterns and Baby, one of my 4 Maltese's has volunteered to be a model. The first pic is Baby waiting for Luz Amparo to finish sewing the temporary collar. The second is one of the 3 patterns she cut out, and the last the tiny umbrella that i'll use the hardware for Pierre's hat umbrella. More to come as i figure out my phone issues. Luz who I call Amparo, is from Colombia where she and her brother use to sew couture clothing for men and woman. We became friends a few years ago because she is a manger at a restaurant that my husband and i, have gone to for many years and she found out that I made soap and I found out that she could sew and we clicked! When I have a dog event/fundraiser she is my seamstress, I also own a cleaning business for the last 27 years so we barter, I clean for her, teach her how to make soaps and candles and she sews. Im happy she's happy.
