Homemade dog shirt idea:
School shirt

Here is a homemade dog shirt idea using an old school shirt, the kind that has buttons which fasten up the middle.

• First you get these things:
  
  *scissors
  
  *shirt


• Cut the sleeves half way.


• Cut the body so the shirt covers your dog's back but does not get in the way of your dog's privates on the belly side.


• Keep the buttons on so you can do them up.


• That's it, you're done!

Editor's note: Thank you again, Jake. We had thought about adapting T-shirts but not using a button up shirt - that makes so much more sense since the fasteners are on there already.

If you take your dog to a sports event wearing the shirt it is sure to garner quite some attention!

One thing to make sure about is that the sleeves are not too tight since the dog will not enjoy wearing something that restricts his or her movement.

Another thing to watch out for is if the shirt is too loose, it may trip your dog up when walking. You may need to fold and sew it along the sides or near the buttons to get it to fit well.
