My Last Years Birthday Cakes

These were my birthday cakes last year. I got the idea from Bakerella's website!!!

Dog Collar Bandanna

I'm going to show you how to make a homemade dog collar bandanna.

1. First you lay out the fabric and lay the collar on the fabric and measure the collar to the fabric to make the collar pocket a little wider than the collar to make sure that you can fit the collar through.

2.Then you fold the pocket over and pin it.

This is just a picture of my pin cushion that my Nana made me.

3. The next thing you do is you measure with a square or a yard stick, we ended up having to use the square, and measure.  We measured twelve inches because we have a large dog named Libby and she's a Great Pyrenees.

4. Here are the marks from measuring to help me cut.

5.In the picture above you also have to iron it then you unpin it and re-pin it to look like this and you sew it up

6.This is it what it should look something like when you have finished sewing for now.

This is just a close up of the collar pocket all sewn up.

7. Next you take some cupcake fabric and cut out a cupcake that has at least a little bit of  the same color as the original fabric color.

8.Then you hand sew both sides and the top but leave the bottom open and stuff with a cotton ball or nail polish remover pads that are torn up.

9.Then you sew up the bottom.

10.Next you measure and pin seam binding to both sides and you sew it up.

This is me using my sewing machine.

And then your DONE!!!

This is a close up of the cupcake.

And this is it on our dog Libby (back)
