Step 8 Sewing the Harness Straps

Here is where I love using the felt: No need to hem anything. :)

Using your sewing machine (Or needle and thread) make the necessary stitches to sew on the straps. Note: Ive sewn my harness with black thread to better show where to stitch and later I'll just cover the stitching with ribbon. Feel free to choose a coordinating color thread to blend into your fabric choice.

I put the cut and measured pieces for the straps around my dog and then marked where on the harness to sew the straps on. I left one strap with a larger opening to enable me to safely put the costume on and off without having to put too much tension on my pup's arms. It looks strange when not on her actual body (You can't tell when shes dressed) but its better to give them enough room so you can dress them easily and not have to bend their little elbows too much.

A note of safety: Please take into account your dog's anatomy when creating anything for them to wear. Putting too much tension or tightness around their bodies and joints can effect them negatively.
