Testimonials

REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PATTERNS

I was really impressed with the patterns, and video tutorials, especially as I hadn't sewn in a very long time (amazing what you forget). Your information was easy to follow, and my raincoat was very professional looking.

THE BEST-FITTing DOG COAT I HAVE EVER MADE

This pattern was definitely the best-fitting dog coat I have made. I was able to customise the pattern pieces (with the help of Jill’s advice and tutorials) to my dog's measurements while also considering the shape of my dog's body.

The step-by-step instructions are well presented and understandable via video and everything necessary is explained. On top of that great tips are provided on materials, supplies, tools etc. Jill's patience and assistance in times of uncertainty were very helpful.

Through Jill’s warmth, patience and passion my interest in custom-designed dog apparel and sewing skills have grown even more. I am proud to be a member of this exclusive group.

I AM PROUD OF MY TRANSFORMATION

Today, I am proud of my confident transformation. I still have a lot to learn and will face new future challenges. But Jill is a special person and wonderful teacher and an inspiration to me.

If you have any unanswered questions Jill is always willing to help through her experience and patience. Sewing dog wear has become my NEW passion. A dream of mine has been fulfilled and Jill has made the learning curve easier and enjoyable.

Meet Jill

I'm Jill Bartlett, the pattern designer, educator, and founder of Thank Dog We Made It, which evolved from Scouter Wear, a boutique dog wear company inspired by my beloved dog, Scout. I loved designing new things for Scout, which always ended up as new products for other fur-babies. My journey began with a desire to provide Scout with the best and knowing how everything was made gave me the confidence that I was giving her the absolute best care. 

Before founding Scouter Wear, I spent over 12 years running an eLearning company. Drawing on this experience, I created Thank Dog We Made It, a learning portal for makers and product developers. I love combining my background in eLearning to create resources, patterns, and courses for making clothes, meals, treats, beds, collars, leashes, and a variety of other products. I'm excited to share my knowledge with others who are passionate about creating for their furry companions.

My mission is to inspire the joy of creating everything a dog needs for a healthy and happy life.
