Tutorial: Sew a bandana for your dog

Find out how to add a touch of style to your canine companion by learning how to sew a dog bandana tutorial .

Our dogs also need a refresh in their wardrobes. 🐶

In this quick and easy tutorial we show you how to sew a bandana for your dog if you want to personalize its collar or match it to your own outfits!

Here is the list of materials you will need:

• Fabric
• A pair of scissors
• Clamps
• Thread
• A sewing machine
• Bandana pattern

Quick tip : For your sewing machine, we recommend choosing a Juki sewing machine . These machines are renowned for their robustness, precision, and reliability, whether you're a beginner or a more experienced seamstress. They guarantee smooth sewing, even on thick or technical fabrics, such as those used for dog accessories.

We also offer a pre-made pattern for small and medium dogs! If your dog is large, then the pattern measurements need to be modified according to the width of your dog's collar and for this you need to increase the height of the pattern. For the Rainbow pattern we measured 24 cm for the length and 19 cm for the height. 😉

Step 1: Pin the dog bandana pattern tutorial to your fabric and then cut 2 times the yoke.

Step 2: Join the 2 pieces right sides together, leaving an opening in the length, then sew everything together, always leaving the length free. For a professional finish, consider using a Juki flatbed sewing machine , ideal for this type of precise sewing.

Step 3: Turn your work over to see the correct side of your fabric.

Step 4: Join the length with an internal hem and then sew. Your bandana should be completely sewn, so there should be no gaps at this stage! You can use a Juki coverstitch machine for a clean, professional finish. This is ideal for creating strong, attractive hems.

Step 5: To create a sort of hem that will allow the dog's collar to pass through, you will measure the collar leaving a small gap so that it can be easily slipped on later, as shown in the image below. Pin and then topstitch along the entire length.

Thread the collar through the tube and voilà! You can finally beautify your dog with this beautiful DIY dog bandana tutorial!
