Woofy Wear by Wendy™ is a delightfully simple line of dog clothing specifically made for smaller dogs, snugger in fit, yet easily altered to accommodate most smaller build dogs.A popular feature on the 4 legger/full body outfit is the omission of the hind leg seams which can sometimes cause irritation and chafing in the groin area. Woofy Wear by Wendy™ is designed for ease of “elimination” without soiling, available in sizes 6” to 16” (spinal measurement) and for dogs weighing between 2 and 16 pounds. Instructions for resizing Woofy Wear by Wendy™ patterns for larger build dogs can be found at Sew It.
NOTE TO HOME SEWERS: Those of you sewing Woofy Wear by Wendy™ for profit MUST identify it as such including the Woofy Wear by Wendy™ name and trademark symbol.
THE STORY BEHIND WOOFY WEAR BY WENDY™ …….HUMBLE BEGINNINGS Due to allergies, Wendy Simon is proudly “owned” by three delightful little American Hairless Terriers (AHT). After getting her first AHT, Wendy quickly discovered that clothing would be a must for him in the frigid winters of Wisconsin and the dog days of summer when air-conditioners run day and night. Wendy began buying clothing at various pet supply stores, only to find that they had very limited selections. Outfits were expensive, fit poorly and did not provide the warmth and functionality desired and/or needed.
Next, Wendy literally bought every pattern from every company that offered a dog pattern, including those found online. The majority of patterns needed considerable reconstruction and altering; more time and work than Wendy was willing to spend. Most of the patterns were more complicated than they needed to be and were cut too generously for small to medium sized dogs. More times than not, Wendy’s little AHT soiled his outfit during elimination, stepped a leg or two out of it or ended up with the outfit around his neck or leg, posing a potentially dangerous situation.
Out of sheer frustration Wendy began designing and sewing her own simplified patterns. For fun, she shared pictures of her little AHT in his Woofy Wear by Wendy™ on several popular online dog/message boards. This led to requests for Woofy Wear by Wendy™outfits and patterns………thus the humble beginnings of Woofy Wear by Wendy™(1998).
