~*~ I have a mother who is a awesome seamstress. She can sew anything and shared this skill with me. I got a tiny battery operated sewing machine for my 11^th birthday and I promptly made 1,001 pin cushions for my mother and I made clothes for every doll and stuffed animal in my room. My mother still has these pin cushions and I have no idea why but, Ok.

Today, I can just about sew anything and I let people know that custom is better than store bought since it is personalized, hand crafted, original and part of a popular industry as reported by CODA (Craft Organization Development Association) and not mass produced of which Shirley, Angie and Penelope all bought.

I am a dog lover as some of you are aware and I want to discuss the Pet Carrier which can make quite a fashion statement and adorable accessory. There are many patterns available to sew a pet carrier. Can you imagine your favorite pet traveling in style? We could probably see a lot of celebrities with such a tote.

To be able to put together your own pet carrier will have your stamp of design and display your skill. It will *Wow!* your friends, family and strangers. A creation put together with care, consideration and style since we can design it in any color imaginable and embellish it with whatever suits our fancy.

A pet carrier isn’t the only pet accessory we can make since there are patterns available online for vintage and modern pet clothing fashions. Do you remember seeing pictures of poodles in tutu’s in circus acts? The pet clothing industry is still fashionable today.

As there are pet owners all around us it’s also a possible niche market. Just dress up your own pet in your own designed ensemble and let him or her display their new outfit at your next veterinary appointment. I am sure somebody will stop to admire your pet and ask questions. A cute way to attract customers. Read related --> here and there .
