Fullhouserocks23 I realized afterward that the fabric strips were way to much fabric width wise for the smaller sizes and not enough fabric width for the large sizes.
I have a little puppy that is still going to grow. I want to make it so I can change the size about 10cm both neck and belly would i just make the straps the longest measurements or is there some math going on? Really love this tutorial!
Hello. What type of needle should I use because my machine hates the thickness of the webbing and it always gets stuck and creates nests underneath. I have a singer heavy duty but it doesn't like thickness
Hi, if I make this harness for my big dog that's also pretty strong, should I strengthen it a bit more or does it do okay? Also with like the plastic buckle should I worry if it breaks?
If anything I would make sure you go over your stitches well to reinforce them. Although, I do know for a fact, harnesses are not going to give you control for a pulling dog because harnesses were made for dogs to pull. People use them in dogs like husky’s when they pull sleds so actually it’s going to help your dog pull more because it lefts them bare down into the ground easier. To help with a pulling dog you will need a slip lead and you want to make sure it sits high on their neck near the head for the best control and so it doesn’t hurt any of the throat.
@@Blacksheepmeet Thanks, I'll reinforce the stitches when I have things to make them, and yes I know harnesses make a dog pull even more. Thanks for your answer!
I am just attempting this for the first time and I am confused why are are adding on inches? If we measure, yes we times bu 2 for the other side but why are we adding more on again? Is it because it’s adjustable or?
I’m not totally sure what part you mean but each measurement is only calculated once. Once you have calculated your measurements, you aren’t adding more to it again later. You should have lengths for 4 different straps (collar, top connecting strap, bottom connecting strap and belly strap.)
You can follow the chart in the beginning of the video for the size to cut fabric strips for 1”width straps or medium size. Hardware and finished strap widths will be the same size no matter what.
Sorry, just realized I did update these measurements. I have it pinned in the top comments and description. The size your doing hasn't changed but this in just in case for future reference. ** UPDATE** Strap width cutting sizes for strips: XS-2.25" (old was 3.25") S- 3" (old was 3.5") M- 3.75"(same) L- 4.5" (old was 4") XL- 5.25" (old was 4.25")
@@stellarawakening9734 Following the pattern from the measurements adding .75" each size , I assume it would be 6.75 width strips. You would need 2 inch wide cotton webbing as well.
I love this design because you can adjust the neck and the waist to fit quite a bit so it helps accommodate different shapes of dogs so I hope it does help! I know how annoying/ scary it can be when you dog randomly gets off the leash😅🤞🏼
I haven’t personally put any harnesses on a mini pig so with that being said, they are so similar with small dogs and this pattern is so customizable with sizing that I don’t see why not. Should still fit perfectly If measurements are accurate.
I live in Germany at the moment so I got it at the local craft store IDEE but your can find plenty in many colors on Etsy if your search “plastic buckle”. Hope that helps!
I've been looking for a tutorial since its hard to find the correct size for my dog. thank you. Instead of doing material can I just use the webbing to create this harness?
Exactly! Dogs are just like people and come in all shapes and sizes yet they only make 3-5 generic sizes. 🤷🏼♀️ you can definitely just make it without the fabric, that’s a really great idea too. The webbing is also made in different colors too so you can still personalize it. My only concern would be the edges after cutting. I’m not sure what would work exactly but you can just play around with a scrap piece to see what works best.
@@Blacksheepmeet i was thinking the raw edges could be tucked or I put a zigzag stitching on those edges - getting excited to do this project . my dog is tiny he is yorkie -toy fox terrier mix - only 4lbs his birthday is july 29th - 13 years old - appreciate the video and follow-up response thank you
Those are great ideas to try! Let me know if whatever you decide to do works! Awwww!!! I have a little chihuahua mix that will be 16 in October so I have a very soft spot for old dogs 😍
No problem, I’m happy to help when I can!! Pretty much you just want to wash the fabric the way you would normally wash whatever your making when it’s done. I usually do just a basic light wash with a little detergent. (Assuming it’s not a fabric that you normally wouldn’t put in the washer and may need to be dry cleaned, then you don’t have to do that step.) cottons and knits are good to do especially since they shrink and to help get extra dye out of the fabric. Make sure to wash it alone or with like colors!! I’ve learned the hard way and lost fabric cause the darker fabric stained my lighter ones. Think red sock in your whites 😂
Hello! I actually used my basic universal needle, but a brand new one so it was sharp. I did have to sew super slowly though, but it was possible. I would recommend using a needle for thicker fabrics though like for jeans or leather, I just didn’t have any on hand at the time. 😊
**** UPDATE****
Strap width cutting sizes for strips:
XS-2.25" (old was 3.25")
S- 3" (old was 3.5")
M- 3.75"(same)
L- 4.5" (old was 4")
XL- 5.25" (old was 4.25")
Whats the reason for the change? Just curious so I know when I attempt it :)

Wow, amazing. Such clear instructions, I'm definitely going to give this a go. Thanks for posting 🐾🐾🐾
Thank you!! 😊 Be sure to check out the measurement update in the description box.
Should i measure around my dogs neck for her neck size? Great tutorial! Cant wait to make it ❤
Thank you! 🤗 Yes, I measured where my dogs normal collar sits on her neck.
Do you have a size sheet guide? Instead of just getting measurements.
What is the size for the cotton webbing? The link in your description isn’t working😢
Thank you for your instruction and sharing.
This is a fantastic tutorial.

Xxs small hard to find sizing for new tiny puppy we will be getting. Any meassurement?

I have been needing one of these!! Yeeess!!
I’m happy I took the time to figure it out because It’s sooo much cheaper to make one then buy one! Hope you like it!!

My dog is half breed half bulldog and askal and she always slipped her harness..hope this will help thanks

Can this harness be used for a mini pig also

Thank you for replying to my last comment, also had another question. How do you pre-wash? Is there any specific way you do this? Thank you
No problem, I’m happy to help when I can!! Pretty much you just want to wash the fabric the way you would normally wash whatever your making when it’s done. I usually do just a basic light wash with a little detergent.

You can also just boil the fabric and webbing. It is what we used to do in the 70s will definitely do the job.
