Working with Jill at Thank Dog We Made It has been an incredible experience. I came to her with just an idea and a few examples, and she transformed it into a fully developed product.
Jill not only designed the prototype, but she also graded it for a full range of sizes (XS to XL), provided digital patterns for the manufacturer, and even sewed one of each size. This allowed us to finalize the design, make the necessary tweaks before going into production, and photograph the garments on dogs for my launch.
What I appreciated most was her ability to bring my vision to life while ensuring the final product met all the requirements for manufacturing.
From concept to finished prototype, Jill's expertise was invaluable, and her guidance throughout the process made everything feel seamless. I couldn’t have imagined a better partner for taking my idea to the next level! If you're looking for someone who can help you build a pattern from scratch or take your ideas all the way to a finished, market-ready product, I highly recommend working with Jill.

I was really impressed with the patterns, and video tutorials, especially as I hadn't sewn in a very long time (amazing what you forget). Your information was easy to follow, and my raincoat was very professional looking.

This pattern was definitely the best-fitted dog coat I have made. I was able to customise the pattern pieces (with the help of Jill’s advice/tutorial) to my dog's measurements while also considering the length of my dog's body.
The step-by-step instructions are well presented and understandable via video and everything necessary is explained. On top of that great tips are provided on materials, supplies, tools etc. Jill's patience and assistance in times of uncertainty were very helpful. Through Jill’s warmth, patience and passion my interest in custom-designed dog apparel sewing has grown even more. I am proud to be a member of this exclusive group.

Today, I am proud of my confident transformation. I still have a lot to learn and will face new future challenges. But Jill is a special person and wonderful teacher and an inspiration to me.
If you have any unanswered questions Jill is always willing to help through her experience and patience. Sewing dog wear has become my NEW passion. A dream of mine has been fulfilled and Jill has made the learning curve easier and enjoyable.
