About milla milla

Have you ever wanted to make unique clothing specifically for your dog?
The clothes sold in pet shops don't always fit well, and sometimes the designs leave something to be desired.
We offer clothing patterns for dog lovers who want to create tailor-made outfits for their pets.

milla milla's patterns are designed by Towa, a pet clothing designer and pattern-maker with experience in brand planning and development in the pet products and apparel industry. She also holds beginners' classes at culture centers for making pet clothing.
Guides for beginners on how to make dog clothing, instructions for each product, and patterns are all available.
Each pattern is made with industrial equipment used in sewing factories.
You can download some sample patterns for free on our website, so please take a look at these as well!
