Pentagon Ball

Whilst I love making collars, from time to time I need to branch out and make something else to get my creative juices flowing.

I made this ball for my son from some of my collar fabrics.

I used this tutorial that I found online at badskirt. The ball is all hand stitched and filled with poly-fill as that was all I had at home, he loves it.

Its been a while

Wow, Its been a long time since my last post!

Its been a busy year for our little family with the birth of our beautiful son in April last year. Pretapawte has still been chugging along but needless to say my time is a little more stretch than it used to be.

Perspective has changed a little in our family however Alvin is still a very important part of our family and has very much accepted his role as bigger brother and reluctantly accepts all cuddles and tail pulling with minimal retaliation.

Anyway Back to more sewing in preparation for next months Handmade Market hopefully it won't be so long between post next time.

Pretapawte launches new online Store

We've made the leap to Big Cartel! I'm busily loading up all of our new designs so keep coming back to see what's new!

We will still be running our Etsy Store if that's how you prefer to shop.

We're off to the Canberra Handmade Market on Saturday

Come and see us this Saturday 4th of December at the Canberra Handmade Market.

We have been busy restocking since the last one which was so good we had very few collars left.

 You will find us at stall #67 outside near the top road.

If you are on the lookout for a special Christmas collar make sure you measure up for your pooch or moggie before you get there. It makes it much easier to pick the right size on the day.

Pretapawte - What's new?

Well, it's been a while since our last post as we have been busily renovating our new house in Canberra through the winter months but as the snow thaws, we are getting busy again!

We had a great market in September at the Canberra Handmade Market. It was good to see the first rays of sunshine bring out a great crowd. We will be back at the Handmade Market on the 4th of December. Make sure you get along and see us and if you're looking for a dog collar, measure your dogs current collar length before you come so we can ensure you get the right size on the day.

We have been busy shopping for new fabrics and have more than 20 new designs to show off in Spring. There might even be some special Christmas themes for the pet who has everything.

Now all we need to do is find the time to take the photo's to put up in our Etsy store. So much to do!
