Step 1
Choose the fabric you will use for this project, fabric with a little stretch such as fleece will be more forgiving. You will also need some 3" ribbed cuffs or elastic material for finishing the cuffs on the legs. You will also need 1 zipper the length of your dog's back.

Step 2
Fold the material in half to cut out each of the 4 legs and the body, bend the fabric at the bend lines as indicated in the pattern.

Make Your Own All Natural Glue | Glass, Paper, Fabric, Ceramic, Wood It Sticks It All

Glue is necessary for so many projects yet most glues contain toxic ingredients
Yes even ones labeled as "Non-Toxic".
We have been making our own completely natural, practically edible glues for many years and have had great success gluing just about everything to anything.

Here are my basic recipes for all types of glue:
Basic all purpose liquid glue:

Basic Glue
Add 3 tablespoons of boiling hot vinegar to 1 teaspoon of gelatin. Beat rapidly with the fork until no crystals remain and it is a bit frothy. Use in a liquid state and paint on just about anything. Dries hard, slightly flexible and clear.
Ceramic, porcelain and pottery glue
Add 3 tablespoons of boiling hot vinegar to 1 teaspoon of gelatin. Beat rapidly with the fork until no crystals remain and it is a bit frothy. Add in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and stir. Use while warm by painting (with a small paintbrush) both edges of the broken porcelain or clay dish/ornament with the mixture. wait a few seconds and stick the pi…

What The Heck Is In Avon Skin So Soft? More Toxins Thats What

I can't count the number of people who tell me that they use Avon's Skin So Soft as a "natural" bug repellent...
No wonder the stuff repels bugs, just like many other products from this notorious pink-washing company, it is laden with synthetic toxic chemicals.
No wonder it repels insects, the ingredients would leave me running for cover too.

So what the heck are the ingredients in Avon's Skin So Soft?
Since they have a number of different formulations to choose from,
I will choose two of the most popular products:

SKIN SO SOFT Original Bath Oil Spray
Description: White lily, lavender and notes of sparkling citrus create the rich woodland scent that makes ORIGINAL a classic & an AVON Customer favorite. Keep skin moisturized with the softening, smoothing benefits of SKIN SO SOFT in a seemingly weightless formulation. 5 fl. oz.
White Lily, Lavender & Citrus...All lovely and natural right? But wait! What the heck? There are no white lilies, lavender or ev…
