Hack Your Pattern
Hack, Modify & Reimagine Dog Wear Patterns
Want to give dog wear patterns a fresh twist—without starting from scratch?
You’ve probably followed sewing patterns before…
Maybe you’ve even sketched out your own dog wear ideas. But when it comes to actually changing a pattern — bending the rules, adding new features, or making it feel like you — that’s where most people get stuck.
And it makes sense. You might be thinking:
“What if I mess it up?”
“I’m not a real designer.”
“I don’t have time to start from scratch.”
“I just want to make something that fits my dog—and my style.”
This mini-course was created exactly for that.
You don’t need fancy tools. You don’t need to draft from zero. And you definitely don’t need to wait until you feel “ready.”
You just need a good pattern (don’t worry—I’ll give you one) and the curiosity to see what you can turn it into.
🎯 This course is for you if...
- You’ve made dog coats before but want to try something new
- You’ve got ideas but don’t know how to apply them to a pattern
- You want more variety from a single pattern (without reinventing the wheel)
- You’re curious about designing, but not ready for the tech or grading yet
- You want to make something that feels original, stylish, and yours
🐾 From Following Patterns to Designing Them
“Sewing dog wear has become my new passion. A dream of mine has been fulfilled—and Jill made the learning curve easier and enjoyable.”
— Gaby
Gaby started with the Cozy Coat pattern — just like you will.
At first, she made it exactly as the pattern explained. Same fabric. Same design.
Then her confidence grew.
She created a quilted version with designer-level finishing. Then a trench coat with a storm flap, belt, and high-end details.
When people started asking where she bought it, she could proudly answer — she didn’t buy it.
She hacked it. She made it. It’s her own design.
That’s the transformation this course offers:
From following instructions to thinking like a designer.
From “I sew” to “I create.”
✨ Bonus: Cozy Coat Pattern Included
As part of this course, you'll receive the Cozy Coat pattern (valued at $15 CAD)—a versatile base design that’s perfect for your first pattern hacks.
And here's the best part: You have full rights to hack it, modify it, and even share your remixed version as your own.
I want you to feel free to get creative and make it your own—that’s the whole point of this course!
