DACHSHUNDS WITH COATS
How it
started:
In february 2005 I had made a ladies suit in hounds tooth and a
matching coat for a dachshund for
the Dutch Dollshouses and Miniatures magazine.
It was knitted by quite a lot of women; I enjoyed designing it
but nevertheless............................
 |
 |
............ it lasted
until the end of 2005 before I started to make a whole series of
coats.
And once bitten by the bug I went on and on.
The
ideas were spinning in my head and very soon I had made a long
list of possible coats.
It ended with 25 coats.
Top row: American flag coat, traditional Cowichan coat,
traditional Irish Aran coat,
same coat but fashionable in red and pink, a Dutch coat with a
windmill, sailing boats, tulips, a cow's head and a flag.
2nd row: Santa coat, angel coat, Christmas coat, party coat with
pearls, tweed coat with coloured beads.
3rd row:flower-power coat, coat of Max, checkered coat, Breton
coat and a clown fish ( Nemo) coat.
4th row: fluffy coat, heart coat, coat with traditional motifs
from Peru, sheep dog coat, sailor coat
Bottom row: hot dog coat, yellow taxi coat, coat with traditional
Fair Isle motifs, rainbow coat and a waterproof raincoat with
souwester.

what does this collection need?
Indeed, a catalogue in miniature

I thought I had
completed this collection, but suddenly in March 2007 I started a
whole new series.
I added some girl's dresses and other new designs to the
collection.
Top row: A
dress with holes, red dress, sailor dress, dotted dress
2nd row: jogging coat, dachshund caot, camouflage
coat, Burberry coat
3rd row: patchwork coat, pink dachshund coat, ladybug coat, cow
coat.
4th row: flower coat, bow coat, hand painted coat, Mac Donald
coat
Will I make a new
series? I really do not know.
A HAPPY EVENT
January 2008 Here are the dachshunds again!

It
seems that one of the dachshunds is putting on weight. After a few days I am sure: she is pregnant! Isn't that clever for a plastic dachshund? |
 |
 |
Look, 3
puppies have been born. Aren't they cute! And of course I immediately started to knit and made2 little coats and 1 pair of little shorts. |
In my webshop: http://webshop.anneliesdekort.nl click miniatures-misscelaneous
some dachshunds can be purchased
 |
Would you
like to knit the coats yourself? I sell patterns in my webshop. Wouldn't it be fun to knit this lovely couple? Sorry, the pattern is only in Dutch |
 |
I do
workshops where you can learn to knit this coat with
beads. |
