Our dog Astrid went to a Halloween party this year at her vet’s. I made her this m&m costume. I made with an extra wide collar using Pellon fusible stabilizer to stiffen it up. The pillow was two circles with lace edging, stuffed with poly fill. The M was cut from felt and machine stitched on following the outline of the letter. The collar was secured with velcro and the m&m pillow was secured to the band with velcro also.
