The one above when I have it all formalised in sizes and all, and have pre-cut straps, I am guessing it will take maybe 30-45 minutes when I'm a bit more experienced depending upon size. At the moment I am slow! It took me several hours the first time around. The one I am making now is going much quicker but it is easier too.Lyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287170057646655092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239047282330766117.post-84926336217324066282012-06-18T07:31:28.336+10:002012-06-18T07:31:28.336+10:00Hi Alyssa

As long as it fits fairly close to her body I imagine it would likely be fine. As I said, this one is designed to fit fairly loosely anyway, as it isn't meant to be used for mobility purposes, more for marking the dog as an assistance dog. It's quite a small vest too so is even less likely to interfere with a harness. <br /><br />I have some sketches of my other plans which I could re-do better as they are a little rough at the moment, and could scan them in so you could see if you like one of the other designs more.<br /><br />I'd be selling what you see in the photo for AU$30. With pockets AU$35. That is my preliminary pricing. That's without postage obviously, but you could pick it up if you wanted. If people wanted it for a very large dog like a great dane or newfie, I'd be adding another AU$3 on. For reference to those non Australians, AU$ and US$ are very similar at the moment.Lyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287170057646655092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239047282330766117.post-76574159665259435592012-06-17T16:34:12.851+10:002012-06-17T16:34:12.851+10:00Wow Lyssa great job.

Its so hard to get these and while I do have a few I do like having a few choices for my girl especially since she is wearing them everyday. <br /><br />How much would you be selling them for?? Also wondering if they would be able to be worn over a harness. My girl wears a sensible harness when on duty. with her vest over it.Lil Miss Happynoreply@blogger.com
