I have another idea that could be a good seller. We just need someone to make them....

Adult bibs. There are so many old people and old persons homes in my area, I could be onto a winner. Have you ever tried to eat spaghetti and not throw it down yourself?

Nothing to do with Doggies John but they would be easy to embroider or DTG. ( and we could use them in our old age)....

Okay....these aren't hard at all...if you know someone with some dressmaking experience they can certainly be done. Don't laugh at my 'model' my kids are 12 and 15 and all their bigger toys are up in the attic....and I don't think they ever had a dog!!lol This is for a small dog....I don't really know dogs very well, so couldn't be sure what size it would fit....but it would fit about 10 chi-wow-was!!! ;O) I haven't even cut half of the threads I was so keen to get a photo!! :tongue:

Okay...you made me laugh out loud there for sure Roger!!!

I have a VERY low boredom threshhold and love to challenge myself.....however, my 'domestic goddess' gene is VERY lacking!!! ;O) I 'just' keep the cleaning ticking over because I get distracted so easily!!! If world domination allows me to have a cleaner then BRING IT ON!!! :wink:

If you had an overlocker and had a die manufactured to cut out the pieces they could be sewn up in about half an hour. Sadly I have neither of these...but from start to finish, with reinforced seams I can do one in about an hour and a half ...and I'm not a dressmaker, just a keen hobbiest, so if there was a production line it would be fantastic!!!!

SO..who's up for chipping in for a bulk order from Alibaba!?!?! :tongue:
