Making galgo coats

As I announced in a former post, my partner and I have been active in manufacturing galgo coats.


These coats will be transported to Spain, to the shelters over there, that come at the rescue of galgo's (Spanish greyhounds). These dogs are heavily abused in that country, and not only there..


All over the world, also in Spain, organisations have been formed in order to fight this injustice and to take action to help these dogs.

One way of helping them, is providing coats, to protect galgo's in shelters during the winter from the cold and the rain.


So a galgo coat must have a warm inside, often made of fleece, and a waterproof outside, made of....well, lots of fabrics will do.
  

One day we went to Volendam, to visit a company were they manufacture tents (Yes, Volendam is more than fishermen costumes and wooden shoes). That company sells scraps of canvas, used to make parts of the tents. Very good waterproof stuff.

So we bought two varieties of this waterproof fabric, a blue colored one and another one, kind of grey.

Galgo's won't care about colour,  but if you're at it, why would'nt you use nice colours?


Just in case you would like to manufacture galgo coats too, I have posted a simple pattern for such a coat. Quite probably through the internet you will find an adress where you can deliver finished coats to be transported to Spain.
