Welcome to Black Dog Designs
 
Hand sewn blankets, clothing and more for babies & children Black Dog Designs is a home-based company named for our Black Dog, Ryka. I design and sew each Black Dog Designs item with care. Because I treasure hand made items for babies, I began sewing special quilts and blankets for friends and then for my daughter. As a mother, I found that certain items I needed for our active lifestyle were not commercially produced, so I sewed them myself. The Black Dog Designs line expands as I create new items to meet our needs. Black Dog Designs are cozy, practical, easy to care for and durable. They are ideal for busy babies who spend a lot of time outside or on the move. We carried our daughter in a sling whether out walking our dog, hiking or shopping. The one-piece fleece suit that she wears in the photo above kept her warm in her car seat or in the sling (under a small/car seat quilt or my zip-in coat panel on the really cold days)- and it kept her socks and shoes contained so we couldn’t lose them on our outings! Location Black Dog Designs straddles a wide area: we are often in Chelsea, Québec and Ottawa, Ontario, but temporarily living in Rockwood, near near Guelph, Ontario. If you are in one of those areas, I can meet you to plan a project. Also, I welcome local pick ups, which can save you the cost of shipping.
