I designed this carrier because my 5 lb. Terrier Lucy likes to be carried around and will scratch on my legs until I pick her up. I do a lot of my work carrying her around in one of these bags. She loves it and snuggles in as soon as I put her in it, going to sleep and very happy to be toted around the house all day. I love the wide straps because even 5 lbs. is a lot to carry around all day!
There are so many fabrics that will work well with this carrier -- I have made it with denim, duck cloth, and micro suede. Fleece options for the lining are huge with so many cute prints available. It's easy to find a coordinating quilting cotton for the trim as well. Designing it is the most fun ever! I keep seeing new prints and patterns I want to experiment with!
I have given you tips and tricks to make the process easier gleaned from my 30+ years of sewing everything from custom draperies to Halloween costumes. I am an experienced bag maker and once sold custom-made purses in my retail store in Arizona.
I include my email address in the pattern so you can ask if you have any questions while making it.
Happy Sewing!
