"I'm going to make a dog coat like that"
My mission is to build your confidence to the point where, when you see fashion apparel you like, you say: "I'm going to make a dog coat like that".
I want to teach you everything I've learned after my many years in the dog apparel industry so you can master the art of designing innovative, custom-fit dog coats that are built for safety and functionality and designed by YOU!!
I will use my 3-Step Design System to teach you how to:
- Tailor a foundational pattern for your dog's unique shape
- Master a pattern design as the basis of making future designs
- Fashion your own innovative pattern by altering the base pattern to make it your own
My foundational patterns can easily be customized to build any design you'd like. First you'll learn to master these three CORE patterns:
- The Cozy
- The Alpine
- The Cool Dog
Once you have mastered these patterns you are ready to design your own patterns. You will learn to create innovative and functional dog wear designs, starting from projects that I supply the patterns for, all the way to building complex patterns that you design.
I will support you through every stage with online demonstrations, Q&A calls and monthly challenges to help you push your skills to the next level.
And you'll be surrounded by a supportive group of like-minded stitchers!

Pet apparel is among the fastest-growing categories in pet ECommerce
do you want to BE PART OF this TREND creating innovative and functional dog wear?
Have you heard the new term "Pandemic Pooches"?
There has been a tremendous increase in the number of dog adoptions since the beginning of the pandemic. This is a HUGE opportunity for the pet apparel industry as people search for products to protect their newest family member.
- 20% of respondents to a Nielsen survey in July said they adopted one or more dogs or cats between March and June, up from less than 5% over the same time last year.
- Fostering facilities and shelters are going empty, and Nielsen data shows a correlated uptick in retail sales.
Have you ever considered making dog apparel as a business?
Pet apparel has expanded beyond dresses and dog sweaters. Go to any pet store and you'll find coats, hoodies, life jackets, harnesses, collars and more. And most people are willing to spend just as much on clothing for their pets as they would for their children.
- 60% of millennials say they are likely to buy apparel for their pets
- Over 50% of millennials say they buy pet gifts and dog wear every month
- People are willing to pay more for supporting handmade, local businesses. According to a report by Shopify, 79% of shoppers are buying "local" to support their communities and protect local jobs.
Pet apparel is growing exponentially
The pet apparel industry is experiencing some of the fastest-growing sales of any pet supply product category online.
- Between 2017 and 2018, pet clothing sales grew anywhere from 200% to a staggering 622% depending on the category, with dog coats and Hoodies being the most popular.
Over the past 10 years, the amount of money Americans spent on pets has more than doubled!
- In 2010, the total money pet owners spent in the US was roughly $45.53 billion.
- Within the next decade, this spending has increased to $95.7 billion annually.
- The biggest annual increase was between 2017 and 2018, when spending quickly jumped from $69.51 billion to $90.5 billion – a growth of 30%.
Join the Scouter Wear Club and learn how to make clothing that is trending right now and become part of the fastest-growing category in pet eCommerce!

I know what it's like to search for dog wear and find nothing that fits
I struggled with the same thing with our dog, Scout, a long, slim Porti-Doodle mix. Coats that fit her chest weren't long enough to cover her back. Those that fit her back were too baggy around her chest.
Instead of spending money on things that didn't fit, I started making my own dog coats. I quickly discovered that many people had the same problem, so I started making coats for other dogs. With so many new mixed breeds and rescue dogs the average store-bought coat just doesn't work anymore.
Eventually, Scouter Wear was born, a boutique dog wear design company dedicated to making custom-fit dog clothing in Vancouver, Canada since 2016. My dog coats have been sold worldwide online and can also be found in retail stores.
Over the many years since I started my custom-fit dog wear business I've learned a lot, and I'd like to share this knowledge with you. So, if you want to join a club with like-minded people and learn how to make custom-fit dog wear, then here's how!

Fits Perfectly
I had Jill from Scouter Wear design a dog jacket as a gift for my friend’s dog. Even though I wasn’t able to provide the exact measurements, Jill was able to create the perfect size just based on the breed. The jacket was adorable, exactly what I hoped for, and the workmanship was outstanding. I would highly recommend Scouter Wear for anyone wanting a high quality and stylish jacket for their pet. Jill is a delight to work with.

Nothing but Amazing Things to Say
We have nothing but amazing things to say about Jill and the jacket she made for our long and lean Mexican rescue pup, Lady Byng. Byng didn't measure into one of the standard sizes so Jill asked for a couple other measurements and tailored the jacket to what would fit best. After a few of weeks we identified a couple things that would make the jacket even better and Jill was super quick and gracious in making those tweaks for us. We (and Byng) love the fleece lining, reflective piping and built-in harness. It's an incredible jacket and we'd recommend Jill to anyone!

Nothing Off the Shelf Works for this Breed
Quality! I just got my third Lhasa Apso. Nothing off the shelf works for this breed. Lhasas are longer and their proportions never quite fit. Jill created a raincoat for Brandy that really works and is so cute. Love the reflective detailing. Got the Little Lady in bright green.

This Jacket Had All the Features I Needed
I admired this jacket when I saw it on Scout in the dog park. This jacket had all the features I needed — fleece lining, waterproof, with a built-in harness. I picked it up today and my dog (and I) LOVES it! Easy to get on, with adjustable straps around the tummy and completely covers her back with a little flap to cover her neck if I wish. And it is beautifully hand made! What could be better?

Can't Say Enough About Our Scouter Wear Jacket
I can't say enough about our Scouter Wear jacket, especially during this rainy season. My favourite features are the reflective piping, multiple spots to hook up a leash, and just how completely waterproof it is. Our time (and furniture) is saved after a dreary walk, as we don't have to towel off as much - big deal when you own a big, hairy dog! Thanks so much Jill, you really went the extra mile! ~Laurel

Meet Jill
I am the pattern designer and educator here at Scouter Wear Club and the founder of Scouter Wear, a small boutique company that has been hand-making a full line of water-resistant dog coats, hand-knit dog sweaters and dog accessories since 2016.
My high-quality waterproof dog coats were borne out of numerous experiments with various techniques, materials, styles, and features, and I want the opportunity to share that knowledge with you.
Before I started Scouter Wear, I owned an eLearning company for over 10 years, developing online courseware. I draw on these roots to create interactive learning that is fun and inviting for avid home stitchers who want to work with their hands and build new skills.
I hope you can join me as I help you to master the art of making custom-fit, functional dog wear - from following my patterns all the way to creating your own innovative, functional designs!
