Charlie's the only little dog in a house full of cats--who constantly roll their eyes at his shenanigans. A few of them like him, but they'll never admit it to you. They're glad he's around though, to wear stuff like this when mom needs a model.
Rag quilts were the inspiration for this string pieced dog bandana. It's made from long strips of flannel sewn wrong sides together, then cut apart and manipulated to make two different bandanas.
The bandana on this page is in the typical "V" configuration, but my favorite for Charlie, since he's pretty little, is the smaller bandana on Page 5.
Bandana Making Supplies
Fabric yardage varies depending on the size of the dog. See Page 2.
- Long strips of flannel or other cotton fabric in varying widths. I used 1-1/4" - 1-3/4" strips, but Charlie's pretty little. Cut wider strips for large dogs. (See note about seam allowances on page 2)
- Lining fabric.
- A few inches of Velcro
- Scissors made for rag quilts--or any pair of sharp scissors.
- Sewing machine, sewing thread, straight pins and your other regular sewing equipment.
