There are so many harnesses at the store. What size do you get? Which one is right? Don't worry, in this post I will guide you through making your own custom harness. So today I will show you how to make your own dog harness. Follow along with me and you will have a harness for your pet in no time!
Step one Cut two of the body pieces out. Cut a strip of fabric for the back, you will need one metal D ring or a keychain ring.
Step two Sew the strip on the back of the outside piece don’t forget to put your ring under it before you sew.
Step three Sew the front and back of the fabric together, with the wrong side out, sew them around the edge leaving a ½ inch margin leaving a hole to turn it right side out.
Step four Turn right side out using the hole you left open.
Step five Iron the fabric flat, so none of the edges are curling.
Step six Sew the hole you left open closed and edge and stitch all the way around it.
Step seven Sew the Velcro on the neck and waist.

Hi! I came to your blog by way of Google while searching for a pattern to make a harness for my cat. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for posting detailed directions and linking to the pattern. Your harness turned out great! It was an especially nice surprise to find this posted by a fellow homeschooler as I am a home educating mother of four. Keep up the good work!
