DIY’s for Small Animals

I am a self-taught sewer and DIY tutorials and Blogs were the keys to my success. I will be forever grateful to those who created videos and blogs to share their skills and ideas, with the intention of helping people like me learn. In return, I would like to pay it forward by sharing what I have learned and how I use this information to create items for my pets.

I have put some of my most popular DIY tutorials below, but for more fun DIY sewing and no-sew tutorials head over to my YouTube channel.
