dapper doxie duds: precious annie's viridian vernal vestment



cool teals, blues, and greens,
another dud for annie.
i like the quilting.


- baxter, 3.25 years old, on having acquired a modest appreciation for fashion details after modelling so many dapper doxie duds



Whee! The fabric I pieced the other day, now turned into another dapper doxie dud for precious Annie. This time Annie wanted something a little spring, in teals and greens and blues, so I made up this quilty wonder from scraps I had kept from a quilt I made for my niece a few years ago. Lined in soft light green jersey knit and embellished with an amazonite and iridescent blue bead dangle, this harness also incorporates velvets, hand dyed fabrics, and quilting cottons I got in Amish country as well as a bright green dragon brocade I scored in the garment district. An amazing tapestry of memories for an amazing little girl. Make room in your closet and get ready to flutter, Annie, another harness is in the works!

Your harnesses are beyond beautiful. If only I could "harness" some of your amazing skill and make my sewing machine whip out such amazing creations. Baxter is such a handsome model for sure. :)

We see Baxter is still missing his collar! Does this mean he's going to get his woof mitzvah collar early? Can't wait to see him model Ike's dapper doxie duds one of these days!!!

I love blue! This is similar to Molly's, but blue instead of burgundy. Having said that ... Molly is really not a blue sort of girl, so her burgundy, pink and gold one suits her just fine! ;P
