Bandana 2.0

So, Toast has grown out of his old Bandana. This time, I wanted to make one that didn’t need anything to go onto him like a collar. So, I invented a pattern specifically tailored for Toast. It had to be reversible, fit him when he grows up and with an easy attachment.

I started off by measuring his neck with a shoelace.

Then, I started to make a rough sketch of the Bandana with the seam allowances onto a newspaper, keeping in mind the length of the shoelace.

Then, I wrapped it around his neck to see if it fit him properly. With, lots of room to grow. Like so:

Now that it fit him perfectly, it was time to start stitching!

I chose a peach and a neon yellow fabric. After seeing how translucent they were, I decided to put a layer of white fabric between them to make the colours pop. I cut the pieces according to my newspaper template and started sewing!

I finally finished sewing the 3 pieces of fabric together and had sewn the velcros on. This is how his bandana turned out!

I was super happy with how the bandana turned out. Thank you so much for following my process of making this bandana and I will soon make a tutorial on how to make the pattern for this design. See you soon!
