RECOMMENDED MACHINES/TOOLS 

PRINTING PATTERN



  1. When printing your sewing pattern, it's crucial to ensure that the pattern is printed at 100% scale or "actual size" in the print settings. This step is important to maintain the integrity of the design and ensure that the dimensions are accurate for your project. Not adjusting the print settings accordingly can result in a pattern that is either too small or too large, leading to potential issues with the fit and final outcome of your sewing project.

  2. Trim the top and one of the side edges up to the margin box. This will make it help when line up the pages for a perfectly aligned pattern.

  3. Layout the pattern lining up the diamonds and pages in alphanumeric.

  4. Tape pages together.

  5. Cut on the outside of the black line.

 
How to Measure you Pet and Choose the Correct Size
 

NOTE: This pattern is based off 3 measurements NECK, GIRTH, and LENGTH. These measurements can be adjusted very easily to fit at size pet. We will be going over what size to choose and how to adjust the size to fit correctly. Keep in mind pets do not go off of standard sizes and the sizes found and the store are just for large scale manufacturing purposes. It is best to use the information below to adjust the size for your pets exact measurements. It will fit way better than anything found in store. The last key thing to note is that the neck and stomach strap overlap. This helps dial in sizing for a better fit. We will go over this in future steps.

 
 

How to Measure Pets NECK

  1. Use a soft, flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.

  2. Position the tape or string around the pets neck, where a collar would usually sit (between the base of the skull and the top of the shoulders).

  3. Ensure the tape/string is snug but not tight; you should be able to fit two fingers underneath.

  4. Record the measurement where the tape or string meets itself. If using string, measure it against a ruler to find the neck size. Add 1-2 inches so the end product is not to tight.

 
 

How to Measure Pets GIRTH

  1. Use a soft, flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.

  2. Locate the widest part of your pets chest, typically right behind the front legs.

  3. Ensure the tape/string is snug but not tight; you should be able to fit two fingers underneath.

  4. Record the measurement where the tape or string meets itself. If using string, measure it against a ruler to find the neck size. Add 1-2 inches so the end product is not to tight.

 
 

How to Measure Pets LENGTH

  1. Use a soft, flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.

  2. Locate the base your pets neck. From the base of the neck measure straight back along the back to the center point of the hind legs.

  3. Record the measurement where the tape or string lands. If using string, measure it against a ruler to find the neck size. Add or substract from the over length for a custom fit.
