I love all animals too ❤️ I have two dogs. A border collie mix and a golden retriever
I love that fabric! I have been making dog collars for years and donated the money to my favorite rescue at that time. I don’t get very many orders anymore (collars of hope creations), and I have all this fabric, so I want to make collars for the current rescue where I volunteer. I always used the iron on sturdy interfacing for giving body to the collars. But I think I want to try your way of doing it. I also have the nylon webbing to use. I probably have to look for new places to buy buckles etc as things are going up in price. BTW I am a huge dog lover and must have one in my home at all times. The one I have now is a rescue from where I volunteer. It’s just me and my dog!
There is no love like dog love. xo
I loved your comment. You gave me an idea- my dog has had a seizure disorder for 7 years now. The cost to care for her at times has been overwhelming, as it’s just me and her. I could make and sell these and open up a Butterscotch account with hopes to donate to local shelters or other pet parents who are having a difficult time caring for their pets. 😊
3 weeks ago I got my first frenchie puppy🩷 I love her so much
Congrats on your new family member!!
I love this tutorial, much more simple than some others i have tried to wrap my head around.
If I could make one suggestion it'd be to add a D ring up at the leash handle for clipping your poop bag pouch to, I just personally find it handy to keep mine there and never forget them.
Thanks, Carrie, and your leash idea is a VERY good one. I'll be including it in my next leash making.
@@DandelionStitches you're very welcome, keep up the good work 🙂
Great tutorial. Miss dandelion deserves a bougie collar.
Holly, you are an absolute delight to watch. I love your energy ♥
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial, I have made my dogs about 3 collars and they look so cute! It was always hard to figure out the hardware until I watched this video. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Holly! You are pure joy and your energy is great. I enjoyed this and so happy it popped up as a video I might like 😊. I’m new NEW new to sewing 😅, I want to make my girl a collar and possibly sell them to help with the cost of her frequent doctor visits because of her seizure disorder.
Butterscotch Lorraine is a 9 year old Shorkie with a seizure disorder that was diagnosed 7 years ago. She is very much full of energy, she’s a people magnet, she is in love with ALLLLLL of her toys, she loves going on trips in the car, I’m a veteran and she has been my ROCK since coming home from Afghanistan and in retirement. It’s just me and Butterscotch against the world 😊.
Thank you for the tutorial❤
Ohhh and I attached a split key ring to my store bought leash and it holds my keys and poo bags👍🏾
Butterscotch Lorraine is the cutest name EVER! Poor baby...seizures are no fun. So happy the video was helpful! Thank you for your service. xo
I so enjoyed your tutorial. You are real and personable.
Thank you so much! Hope it was helpful.
Just found your channel and what a joy it was to watch this 🥰
My dog is my everything. We are totally into the outdoors together. Thats also where our channel name comes from.
WOW. Was just looking to make some easy craft fair items to make a little bit of extra money. What a difference in your hair!!!!! I tell my daughter everyday how much I love your hair. Highlights, or something but damn girl your hair is amazingly much longer and the color 💋
You could do bows and bandanas to match x
Super happy I found this. I am going to try and make a few collars. They say nylon is best for dog collars for strength. I have big breeds!
Once you've had a BIG dog, it's big dogs for life. What breeds do you have? Our biggest dog was a black lab/st Bernard mix. He was the best dog ever. xo
@@DandelionStitches I have a staffordshire terrier, German shepherd and American bully!
I love this tutorial!!! Going to make a set for my dog ... and maybe add a matching bandana for extra gorjussness 🥰
Well explained tutorial!! FYI. Double sided tape could be your friend 😊
Would have been good to see you sew it together but good job x
Agree, I really appreciate seeing all the steps including sewing but thanks for your video!
Yep I would have even liked to see what stitch and where
Yeah I love dogs I got four dogs one is big is Alaskan husky mixed with Rottweiler and then I have a chiweenie and then I have Chihuahua for a Chihuahua and I have one that's full grown I don't know what it is but we have we said we have cats my granddaughter has nine Siamese
Love your personality and I love love KAFFE FASSETT!!! Glad I stumbled upon your video; so thank you for the step by step tutorial! Going to make one for my Max who is an Italian Mastiff and whom I love more than anything. Have a great day. ✌️
Italian Mastiff?! How fabulous! I LOVE big dogs. Wish they could be with us longer, but there is nothing like the love of a big dog. xo
@@DandelionStitches you are so correct! We actually had 2 Italian Mastiffs. Samson passed away in mid January so it's just Max for now. Hopefully the spirit of Samson will come forth and guide us to another puppy or rescue because he sure was one of a kind! Thanks and peace be with you!
EXCELENTE EXPLICACION ,ME ENCANTO TENGO 9 PERROS VOY A HACERLES A CADA UNO .
Matches or a gas lightly thing 😅 thanks for the video! I am trying to do something slightly different for my girls, but this gave me a great baseline! Thanks again. 😊
This is Marcella. I wanted a fun internet name like everyone else. I love that you showed every step of collar making. I'm gonna make some for Spyder. I should have taken a picture of the gazillion bowl cozies I made from your other tutorial. It was Christmas and I just didn't have time for picture taking.
Also, that is hilarious that the coyote has a doodoo schedule 🤣 Boy, coyote howling just almost makes my heart hurt from the sad sound. There are coyotes by our quilt retreat and they are so mournful.
Also I vote for the teal thread with the tan as my second choice.
Love your cool new name! Good thinking! The coyote howling does sound mournful and sad. Drives Dandelion nuts. (like she needs another reason). When they come into our yard as a pack they run around and play like puppies. They chase each other and yip and bark. It's a joy to watch. Our neighbors are terrified of them, but I just love when they come by.
@@DandelionStitches That would be interesting to watch the coyotes play.
Two chocolate labs …neither of them like cats but otherwise are very gentle in nature. I make collars for mine too
We had a chocolate lab once. Best dog and SO smart. Thanks for watching!!
I have an Irish Terrier/German Shepherd cross. He is currently in training to be my service dog! :D
Thank you for this tutorial. Melinda
I love the
Blue
Love Miss Dandelion!!!
Hey can you plz give us a tutorial on how to make a dog harness❣️
That is a new one for me, but I'll do some research and see what I can do. Thanks for watching!
I have tried many times to make a harness and just wasn’t able to get it.
so very cute!!! I love it!
Hiya Holly! I just found you and I feel like we could be friends! You had me cracking up! I am going to try to make Chaucer a collar and a leash. I am so glad that I found your channel and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I'm always up for a new friend!! Give Chaucer some love and a treat from me. thanks for watching!!
@@DandelionStitches I sure will! 🥰
You could put rivets in there too
I live IN TOWN and coyotes came in my yard during the day and ate my cats, they dug underneath their enclosure, it’s nature yes but we were devastated, our cat’s enclosure is now 8’ off the ground and their safe
I'm so sorry that happened. Of course you were devastated.
@@DandelionStitches thank you
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you!!
Aww I have a labradoodle her name is chloe and she is a service dog for ptsd and diabetic alert and she love other animals I have a pet rabbit that is litter box trained and runs around my room and chloe love her they both cuddle on my bed plus she love guinea pigs cats dogs etc.
I'm diabetic and even though our doodle isn't trained, she often alerts me if my BG is very low. There must be a smell they pick up on. I love that your Chloe and bunny are buds. I used to have a litter box trained bunny, too. So much fun. We are so lucky to be blessed by out animal family members.
Wow! Thank you from Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦
You are so welcome! Stay safe!
We have a 3 year old goldendoodle
Binge watching all your videos 😅 I have 6 cats one is outside and only half claimed I feed him but I'm not allowed to officially have him all of my cats are black except the out side one he a Garfield
Hello :) beginner here. I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your jolly energy and funny animal stories :) I am wondering what the black and green thing is called on your bench? Is it just called an acrylic fabric ruler? I also wondered if you have any tips for making larger rolls of the fabric for small businesses (I’m just starting from scratch ) thank you so much ☺️🤗💕
Hi Renn! I think you're referring to my cutting mat. It's meant to be used with a rotary cutter. What kind of rolls of fabric are you making?
You can’ t go wrong with a Juki
I have a dog border collie x her name is missy and a ferret coco 😊
Awww, Lynda, thanks so much for sharing. You've got some high energy animals there! Give them some love from me.
Hi, we have three dogs, an African gray bird, a corn snake, and a chameleon.
Hello lady,i say hello from dominican republic
Hello from the USA! Thanks for watching!!
Can you tell me shop name or give link for the cotton webbing (back) of leash, I do not see it in your notes. Also can you tell me what size needle you used in sewing machine and did you just sew along the edges for webbing and fabric?
I got the webbing in a pack with other colors, but Amazon has single colors, too. Link: tinyurl.com/2453kjuu. I used a regular needle in the machine and yes, I sewed along the edges. Hope that helps!
Hei Holly, can you pleae share with me why it is beter to use the Shapeflex? If one has a little thicker/stiffer fabric anad has 2 layers of it, is that enough? Do you use it just to make the thinner fabric kind of stiffer?
Could you use foam
Bonjour
Cela convient a quel race de chiens?
Merci
Grands chiens. Nous avons un Labradoodle.
Is there a reason why the webbing is exposed and not side the leash itself? Does it make it more durable?
I think it depends on the dog. For our dog, I like to keep the webbing against her neck to keep the fabric side from wearing out. She is big and active and we take a lot of on the leash walks. If you have a smaller, or less active dog, fabric completely covering the webbing would probably work just as well. I like the leash to be completely covered just because it looks prettier. 😄
I am trying to find a 1 inch wide clear plastic ruler to no avail. Where did you get yours?
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Creative-Grids-Rectangle-Quilting-Template/dp/B0017R9Q4G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=28Z5948BBGZH8&keywords=creative+grids+1%22+ruler&qid=1692841938&sprefix=creative+grids+1+ruler%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-2
Why don’t you show the sewing part
what kind of sewing machine you have. mine giving me issues when I layer the webbing.
I have a JUKI domestic machine. It does take some power to get through the webbing and fabric. You could try a smaller needle to see if that helps. Good luck!
Hi,great video,do you piece your fabric for the lease or do you prefer one length,thanks Alice in Fl
I definitely piece it.
Absolutely love the video. Can you tell me what brand sewing machine you are using as I am thinking of getting a new one and want to make sure it can handle the webbing ~ thanks so much
It's a Juki and it goes through multiple layers like butter. I also have a smaller Brother that does a pretty good job, too. Thanks for watching!
What type of machine do you use please x
I'm using a basic Brother machine.
👍👏👏🤝
Just curious, where did you get your 1” ruler?
It's a Creative Grids ruler CGR112. Fat Quarter Shop and Amazon both have them.
Hi again do you have a size for small ,med,large dog collars thanks again
These are the measurements I use to cut the webbing for other dog sizes: xsmall - 14.5", small - 22.5", medium - 26.5", large - 32". I recommend measuring your dogs neck and adjusting as need be. Remember the fold over for size adjustments takes up a lot of webbing. Hope this is helpful!
@@DandelionStitches Thanks Holly for asserting my question don’ t have a dog for a model just needed some ideas seeing I am staring to make the dog collars,thanks again your video are user friendly. Alice in Fl.
میشه به فارسی ترجمه کرده
I wish I had a yard to get all sorts of animals visiting me 🥲
hello
could you tell me where did you get the fabric ?
I used quilting cotton and I get it lots of places. Etsy is a great place to find fabric.
What kind of thread do you use?
I use Aurifil cotton thread, 40wt. Holds up really well.
@@DandelionStitches thank you for replying so quickly 😊
So my "heavy duty" singer machine is not liking the thickness if the collar. It gets stuck and is making thread nests. What can I do to make it work better?
@@gkmc2440 Have you tried using a stronger needle....like a needle intended for denim or leather? Does it just get stuck at the beginning? One trick is to start your seam in the middle and work outward to both ends. Makes it easier to get going. Let me know if any of this helps.
@@DandelionStitches I may have to try a stronger needle. The top stitch looks ok but the bottom is a nest. But it does feel like the needle struggles to go up and down both forward and backwards. I will try it out and keep you posted. Thank you 😊
