There are two good, simple ways to make a Dogs coat.
One is to get a wool or other fabric coat that 'feels right', to you, and applique patches or strips or even striped cloth to it.
Two is to make a coat on the model of the Australian Drover's Coat ( http://folkwear.com/137.html ). You would first make patchwork material, then cut the pattern pieces from the patchwork, then sew the coat together according to the directions.
Also, when your partner is called into the security office in the airport of a different country, make sure you have at least one of the following in your carry-on bag, not theirs: passport, photo ID, backup photo copies of same, cell phone and all the cash either of you have in any currency. That moment when I realized Vincent had all of the above with him, and I was sitting in the Florence airport with no ID, no cash, and no way to contact anyone if things went weird - that was pretty exciting!
