you might remember a while ago I did a post on a great organization called TEARS animal rescue. I also mentioned that I would be making them some fleece dog sweaters which I did over the weekend! I just came back from dropping off 18 of them at their charity book shop in Bergvliet - amazing, big bookstore by the way - and decided to share the good news.
A very kind, dog obsessed friend sent me 10m of fleece all the way from Johannesburg, which we received with much interest and excitement on Saturday morning.

I got a great sewing pattern online - which I will sharing later on this week - and got sewing. Once I got the basic idea down I was on a roll and soon made up 18 sweaters. It's amazing how many sweaters you can get out of a 3m piece of fleece and at around R35 per meter, it's a really great way to help a lot of cold dogs with a very small donation!
Below are some pics of Salvador modeling the finished product.
Salvador and I will both sleep very soundly tonight, knowing that some fur children will be kept warm for the rest of this winter!
If you would like to make any donations to TEARS, have a look at the wishlist on their website.
Licks & Kisses!

Ok this is amazing! Especially the part where you had to explain to him that they're not his....
