Default Make A Dog Bandana - Double Layered

welcome to http://www.petsor.org/dogs/article/M...yered_549.html

This takes one to two hours and is sturdier than a single-layered dog
bandana.

Choose a cotton or similar fabric that looks good with your dog's
coloring
Use matching thread on your sewing machine or for sewing by hand
Straight pins, a marking pen and scissors will be needed

MEASURING:

Length of dog bandana:


Smaller dog - circumference of dog's neck 14 inches (355mm)
Larger dog - circumference of dog's neck 18 inches (460mm)

Height of dog bandana:
Smaller dog - 4 to 6 inches (100 to 155mm)
Larger dog - 7 to 9 inches (180 to 230mm)

MARKING AND CUTTING THE DOG BANDANA


Double your fabric, wrong sides out, folding along the length
(horizontal axis)
Mark the corners along the folded edge points E and D
Fold in half again, this time along the height (vertical axis), so
that corner D lies on top of corner E
Pin the layers together
Mark the corner where all the folds meet, point A
Mark the corner formed when you folded D onto E, point C
Point B is marked as follows:
For a larger dog, go up 7 to 9 inches (180 to 230mm) from A along the
folded edges
For a smaller dog, go up 4 to 6 inches (100 to 155mm) from A along the
folded edges
Point B should be the peak of your triangle
With a straight edge, draw a dotted line from point B to point C
The area above the dotted line (with the edges that aren't folded) is
to be cut away
You should have a right-angled (90 degree) triangle left with points
A, B and C marked on it

PINNING AND SEWING THE DOG BANDANA


Unfold the above triangle so that points C and D are visible and you
have a wide, shallow triangle
Turn the bandana inside out so the wrong sides are on the inside and
one right side is on top facing you
Starting at the top center point, and working either right or left,
fold the edge over about 1 /4 to 1/2 inch to the inside and pin
Fold the bottom edge over to the inside to match the top
(As you go, you can remove the pins from the top edge and pin both
edges together)
Keep the top point of the triangle in the middle of your bandana
Make points out of the bottom two corners as best as you can - you may
have to cut off excess material before folding and sewing
Sew together by hand or machine about 1/8 inch (2 to 3mm) from the
edges. Trim loose threads.

Remember to remove the pins before you try the dog bandana out on your
dog!

Geeze... What kind of moron needs written instructions to make a
bandana? And spends TWO HOURS on it?

This twit also left off the last step...

"Tie bandana firmly around your own neck, fastening it with a square
knot. Recruit a helper to insert a sturdy stick between neck and
bandana and twist HARD"
