This Narrow Scrappy Dog Leash tutorial is a delightful guide to creating a leash that’s not just functional but also a stylish statement. The tutorial is perfect for those who have smaller dogs or puppies, like Bailey, the author’s new pup. The leash is a slender 5/8″ wide, making it lightweight yet sturdy enough for those little explorers.
The tutorial is a treasure trove of details, guiding you through each step with clarity. It starts off by helping you choose the right fabric. The author used a collection called Penelope from QT Fabrics, which adds a dash of elegance to the leash. You’ll also find a list of all the notions you’ll need, from fusible interfacing to a swivel snap clip.
The sewing process is broken down into manageable chunks, from cutting your fabric and interfacing to the actual sewing and topstitching. The tutorial even includes a section on making a matching cage comforter for your pup’s crate, making it a two-for-one deal! The leash is approximately 7 feet long, giving your pup ample space to explore while staying safely tethered to you.
The tutorial is peppered with helpful tips, like using a walking foot for even stitching and how to secure the swivel clip to the leash. It’s a comprehensive guide that leaves no room for confusion, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned sewists. So, if you’re looking to make a leash that’s as unique as your pup, this tutorial is your go-to guide.
