10 Minute Dog Boots

Step 4 Sew the Boots

First you will need to sew the wear pad in the foot area of the boot material as shown. A straight stitch around the perimeter of the material is sufficient, you may stitch across the wear pad if you dog has a huge foot, this will prevent slipping. The placement will be below your dogs foot pads when the boot is on.

You will now need to attach the boot strap in the narrow portion of the boot material above the wear pad. This will place place the strap in the narrowest part of your dogs leg. I like to make a box area with the straight stitch with at least one diagonal. Neither I nor my dog has ever ripped one off.

Now you will need to tightly roll the Velcro strap up to take it out of the way for final seam sewing.

Fold the material over at the toe edge so that the wear pad and boot strap are on the inside.

Sew along one edge from the toe fold to the top of the flare. I use a straight stitch no more than 1/4 of an inch in from the edge. Again neither I nor my dog has ever ripped open on e of these seams. At the flare run your machine in reverse about 1/2 to 1 inch to lock the edge.

Cut the thread and flip the boot around and sew the other seam in the same manner.

Repeat this for the other boots needed.
