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

Hi there, Joyce! Each page of the pattern has a number and letter indicating where it will line up.

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

I take this method one step further and thread fusible thread through the lower looper and when I press that first 3/8″ up it sticks – sometimes I’ll also change the differential to a slight gather so when the serge is finished it’s pulled the fabric a bit so it’s slightly tighter than the garment I’ll be “fusing” it up to :) Try it! I think you’ll love it even more.ReplyCancel
I have been on a serious Ogden making kick. Everyday Layla asks me how many I plan to make that day. Yep, it’s that addicting. But good addicting. It’s a great staple piece for the wardrobe and a great stash buster. I’ve been using so many fabrics I love but didn’t have a purpose for...

Such a brilliant plan – I’ve seen something similar but couldn’t figure out what those hangers actually look like and where you can buy them! Thank you :) also keeping your instructions in binders is a brilliant idea too. I keep mine in boxes but there is going to come a day when that just isn’t practical space-wise.ReplyCancel
