Hello!

Tips of all these Trades

A somewhat untidy collection of tutorials, links to patterns, and anything else to make owning this domain worth what I pay for it.

  • Muzzle Harness Making

    An unfortunately long how-to on some of the backpack muzzle harnesses I made for ANW2025. A Note on Construction: These harnesses were designed to make carrying the head easier. The amount of suiters that come to my table and struggle to juggle their head and looking at things is really, really high. My suits now

  • Collar Making

    I recently went and fixed up some of my old, unsold collars, so it seemed suiting to get a tutorial out! This is, still, more of a showcase; but hopefully it’s a good place to start your research. Collars are a nice project to learn stuff like straight lines, ironing, keeping things flat, and putting

  • Bandana Making

    Bandanas are a fascinating show of capabilities. Any skill level can make them using any number of skills. As a pet groomer, I used to cut triangles out with plinking sheers to make simple bandanas for owners who would rather we didn’t.

  • Cleaning Instructions

I’ve found these don’t tend to tear at fur like a short-wire brush. That said, feel free to use the wire brushes! They’re

  • FAQs: Allergen Info

    Pet:My house contains three dogs and one cat. I do my best to keep them out of my crafting, but there’s no stopping Corgi hair sometimes. Food:I like peanut butter. And some wheat products. And a variety of fruits. It shouldn’t get on products but better safe than sorry. Ask if you have a very specific

  • Paw Pocket Tutorial

    A little something extra to bring your paws up a notch! Paw Pockets are perfect for storing squeakers (which often leave hard spots in pawpads if sewn in), money, and hard things like coins for those who use their paws in play and like a harder smack. This isn’t a pattern: you’ll still need your
