Today, I have Rina Tanaka guest posting. Rina has been helping me with some sewing. I hope you enjoy her post! Here is Rina:
Hello! My name is Rina. This is my first time to post a on Vivat Veritas. I love sewing, and am going to help Vivat Veritas as a seamstress. I’m so happy to be able to participate with Chie and share ideas on the blog! Thank you so much for giving me the chance, Chie.
As my first entry, let me tell you that I have a dog, a Yorkshire terrier. He got a trim last week, he looks great… but looks cold sometimes. You can find dog clothes at pet shops, on the Internet anywhere really, but most of them are too decorative and expensive. So I decided to make his clothes. Simple, cute, cheap!
I cut out my well-worn cotton T-shirt. Please choose stretch fabric. Sew * to *. 
Cut fabric scrap as bias, and join them to make bias tape. 
Then, attach the bias tape around the cut fabric. Attach hook and loop fastener (easier to wear than snap) at the center at last. 
Hopefully it will all make sense. If there are any questions, please leave a comment below. Thank you for reading! Enjoy sewing.

こんにちは、りなです。これからVivat Veritas の縫製のお手伝いをさせて頂くことになり、ブログにも参加させて頂くことになりました（知恵さん、ありがとうございます！）。Vivat Veritasのサイトの大部分は英語ですが、英語が分からない方にももっと見て欲しいという気持ちを込めて、日本語でもブログを書きたいと思います。 最近はよくいろんなお店で犬用の服を見かけますが過剰にフリルのついたものや高価な物が多いですよね。カットしすぎて寒がっていた愛犬（ヨークシャテリア）の為に洋服を作ってみました。着古したコットンのTシャツと生地の端切れがあれば簡単に作れるので是非試してみて下さい！
コットン生地（伸縮性のあるもの）を型紙通りに裁断し、＊と＊を縫い合わせます（Photo2）。
生地の端切れをバイアスのカットしつなぎ合わせバイアステープを作ります（Photo3）。
作ったバイアステープでコットン生地を囲みます（Photo4）。
最後に前中心にマジックテープを付けてできあがり！ もし分かりにくいところや質問があれば気軽にコメントを残して下さいね。
Recently I had the chance to work with a wonderful photographer team for a bridal shoot. The inspiration behind the shoot is a whimsical wedding in the woods, a long flowy dress with delicate lace and open back.
