Learn how to add a peplum and full bodice lining to the Ogden cami with this step by step photo tutorial!
I was recently asked by a long time client to make some matching dresses for her two girls, eight in all. The first six were made pretty quickly, and were such fun to put together! The last two however, required some element of patience because the fabric (Betsy Lemonade), which is exclusive to a shop...

so, yes this is doable. You will want to measure from the torso to the back of the neck, and that’ll be your length there. You’ll also want to measure around the neck (and keep several inches for the harness to overlap on the closure). Do the same with the measurement around the torso. I recommend cutting the smallest size, then making your adjustments using that as a base.ReplyCancel

Each page of the pattern has a number and letter indicating where it will line up. Cut off the excess, and line up the pattern. all of the A’s will line up vertically (there is no 1a because it would have been wasted paper), and all the B’s will line up and so on. you will line up 1b->1c then 2a->2b->2c then 3a->3b->3c then line up those three rows. You will then have your full pattern piece and you can cut out the size that best suits your dog, or grade between them if you need a more customized fit. :) I hope this helps!ReplyCancel

Having a good strong Velcro is key, and if your dog is very strong, you could totally add clips in the front as a secondary line of defense, so to speak! My girl is only 17lbs so this is more than enough to keep her near me. Thankfully, you can adjust this pattern pretty easily to suit your needs! Just be sure your machine needle is large enough to handle a heavier Velcro as that is generally the trickiest part to sew, I’ve found. ReplyCancel

I’m making harnesses for my son’s cat. He’s an indoor cat but likes to go out for a walk. At my son’s request I put a buttonhole in the body under the tape on the back so the D ring can slip through to make it reversible; I’m going to try that with your much better pattern! This pattern is great and I’ll be using it for the next harness I make. Thank you.ReplyCancel

Yes! And I just like to mention that you will want to compare measurements to your dog as you go. My dog is a Boston, and while small they tend to have greater chest girth than other small dogs. If you have a dog as large as a Great Dane or Irish Wolfhound, you may need to adjust the measurements a little bit. Happy sewing! ReplyCancel

Thank you for sharing this pattern and tutorial. I am working on making one for one of my grand puppies. I want to add wiffle balls to keep her from escaping through the fence. I thought she would be one size, but that didn’t work, so I am printing this again. I am thinking about making it a step in harness with the neck permanently closed and then snapping closed on her back. Since I haven’t started it yet I don’t know if this will work. Anyway, thank you again. I can use this as a jumping off point.ReplyCancel
