For an easy sewing project, try making a Fleece Bandana. You can choose any fabric that you want. It’s as simple as cutting and hemming a triangular-shaped piece of fabric, then tying it around your dog’s neck. This one can be lined, decorated, embellished, or embroidered as you desire.


2. DIY Easy-Sew Dog Bandana by Lia Griffith

Skill Level: Easy

If you’re new to sewing or don’t have a sewing machine, this Easy-Sew Dog Bandana can be sewn entirely by hand. The free PDF pattern gives you the perfect template to cut from. Once you’ve sewn the bandana out of festive fabric, you can thread your dog’s collar through so it won’t fall off.


3. DIY Dog Scarf from Charmed by Ashley

This Dog Scarf is carefully sewn onto a collar for the perfect fit. If you’re feeling extra crafty, there are even instructions to make your own collar. For this project, you’ll need sewing skills and interfacing knowledge, so it’s not the best choice for beginners.
