I'm not a good enough seamstress to whip one up in an hour. Plus, I'm lousy at making contoured hips and shoulder gussets. I buy the blankets and save my sewing skills for making alterations, repairing tears and broken straps, re-sewing loose stitching, etc. Unless your goat runs under barbed wire fences, a good blanket should last for many years with care. I prefer to buy miniature horse blankets because these are nearly always heavier-duty than anything made for goats.
I came across several patterns for Goat Coats on the Internet and thought about making them as well but in the end I decided the same thing as you...just haven't found the right ones to buy yet. Any chance you still have the links for the mini-horse blankets? Are they Gortex?
