I really love that this link up forces me to get some pins 'crossed' off my boards, meet new friends and be inspired by everyone's awesome creations!
And do I ever have a great DIY for you today.
We all know that Floyd is a stylish and hip man about town.
And I was thinking that with spring coming up, he could use even more sprucing up.
I mean everyone needs some new clothes for spring. Duh. (That's gotta be a rule somewhere...)
I first saw this DIY from Decor and the Dog (Michelle and her handsome pup Ike are adorable-check them out!)
As soon as I saw it I knew Floyd needed it.
(Late last night) I broke out the springy-est fabric I could find and my trusty sewing machine and whipped up a tie for Mr. Floyd. It was very easy and took me less than an hour (my favorite type of project).
I followed Michelle's instructions but ended up making Floyd's tie a tad shorter than she does on her tutorial. He's so low to the ground I didn't want it dragging all over. But this one did end up a bit shorter than I was expecting so I will definitely add some length on the next one.
I think on the next one I will also use a thinner fabric and work on sewing a straight line (constant battle between my sewing machine and me). This fabric was almost too thick to be able to turn inside out once it was sewn together.
Ready for a night on the town!
Isn't he dapper?
I love the springy fabric; his own little interpretation of madras shorts.
(And yes, he was in the middle of saving his chickies from their barn...such a helpful boy).

OH my goodness, Floyd is looking so dapper.
OMG...that is so awesome! Floyd looks super stylish, and I totally love that last picture. I think our pup Napoleon totally needs one of these :)
hahaha omg this is the cutest thing ever.
Seriously, could he be even cuter?!
He looks so dashing in his new duds! What a cutie! And don't worry, I can't sew a straight line either. I need some serious practice, ha. I've only had my sewing machine for OH 6+ years (sadz).
oh my goddddd I just want to take that cute little face and snuggle it and make my most annoying dog language noises.
Yep, THIS IS THE GIRL THAT'S COMING TO YOUR HOUSE!
Btw, love that tie!

I'm so obsessed with this! haahaha! I NEED TO GET ONE FOR ROCKY! But I don't have a sewing machine and I can't sew to save my life :( Floyd looks SO dapper!
Thank you for linking up :) loved this.
Stop it right now. I can't even handle this cute and handsome boy!!! Holly asked if her belated birthday present was Floyd coming to visit and taking her for a night on the town. I told her I'd see what I could do... what do ya think, mama?? He sure looks ready! :)
Get out! Floyd looks fabulous! Great job!
Dying, just dying over here. Pierre has a seersucker bow tie, and together with that spring plaid tie, he and Floyd look they're ready for a spring fashion shoot. So dapper and charming, Floyd. And springlike, with those chickens! So smart getting those out of the barn. So smart.
Also, teach me how to sew. I have a machine, but zero knowledge. The end.
He is too fricking cute! Love the tie!
OMG. that is the cutest thing ever. Maybe I could make a girl one for my pup!

Hahahaha. I just can't. I think I should just stop telling you how much I love him. I feel like I sound super freaky.
