What You’ll Step Into
This isn’t about memorizing steps. This is about becoming the kind of maker who can:
- Look at a simple base coat and imagine endless possibilities.
- Add details that make a pattern feel completely yours.
- See fabric choices as a reflection of your values, not just materials.
- Feel the quiet pride of saying: “I made this — and it totally suits my dog.”
This is your chance to shift from simply following a pattern…
to becoming the kind of designer who can reinvent one.

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.
- G. VANDENAKKER
"The best-fitted coat I’ve ever made!"
This pattern was definitely the best-fitted dog coat I have made. I was able to customise the pattern pieces (with the help of Jill’s advice/tutorial) to my dog's measurements while also considering the length 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 sewing has grown even more.

"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, founder of Thank Dog We Made It.
I started where you might be now — making mistakes, second-guessing, and overcomplicating every project.
But once I discovered the freedom of hacking, I never looked back.
Now I want to share that freedom with you — to help you make with purpose, create with confidence, and step into your identity as a designer.
My mission is to inspire joy in creating sustainable, functional dog wear!
