Sewing Machine Project

For Christmas, my sis gave me a sewing machine. I took a 2 day sewing course to learn how to use it. We had to bring a pattern for our first project, so I chose a dog coat pattern. As you can see in the following pics, the pattern was horrible. Whoever made it, obviously didn't have a dog. The hood was big enough to fit my head, the front was very voluminous, as was the body. How is that supposed to keep a dog warm and dry? 
So, instead of throwing it away, I made some changes.




Below is the new version. The hood was replaced with a little collar. I cut down the front and added two hooks and put a couple of seams in the body for a tighter fit. I think he might actually wear it now.
