Help your favorite four-legged friend show off their patriotism this summer with a new dog leash featuring red, white and blue! No more settling for the size options at the store – you can make the exact length you want for your dog. This is a great way to use your fabric scraps and create a custom leash that’s perfect for your furry friend.
With a few strips of fabric sewn together, folded using a bias tape maker and sewn onto nylon webbing these dog leashes are durable and sew up quickly. You could make one for each season or even every month – why not use the prints for each month from my Monthly Placemat Panel program?
In this video, we’ll show you how to create a stylish and sturdy dog leash using fabric scraps and 1″ nylon webbing.
