How to Begin- If you need help getting started anyone at Sew Always can lend a hand. An easy way to get started is to look for a coloring book page in the type of pet you have, many line drawings are available on line. If your pet is a bit more exotic and no pages show up try using a photo of your pet. Just print it on paper and use a maker to trace an outline. The next step is to have fun finding the perfect fabric. Applique is a tried and true technique but don't forget embroidery or any other technique that will stand up to machine washing.
