How to make a dog collar and leash

There's a super tutorial over at Sew 4 Home that teaches you how to make a dog collar and leash using jacquard ribbon and webbing. Now you can sew your own version of this.

Of course there are many lovely ribbons in the world, but I think your poochie would be especially happy walking around in one my designs. Especially if he's very frugal, likes to golf, and lives in a camper. You can get these at Fat Quarter Shop (sold by the yard) or at J Caroline Creative (sold by the roll).

I don't have a dog, but I have a kitten that bites (and is currently doing so as I type). Do you think I should make her a leash?

Love,
Mum/lovemykittehs,too

Never mind. She fell asleep.

Corie, thanks! I'm glad to have another retailer I can send people to. I don't usually find out where my stuff goes, so thanks for letting me know!

I've been thinking about doing this for ages. Thanks for the tutorial. Now if a talented design would whip up some bacon ribbon my pup would be thrilled!

Jessica Jones said...

Bacon ribbon! I LOOOVE it! Hmm, I just need to find someone to manufacture it.

Amy said...

I knew I recognized the ribbon I bought! I got the weiner dog ribbon at a fabric shop in Santa Cruz.

Thanks for sharing. Great for making collars that you can customise with your own colors, prints etc. But for walking i'd prefer a more durable one and i don't think i trust my sewing skill hehe.
