Free pattern: Kimono dog harness

by 2 Comments

Jill Myslinski from Acorn Market shares a free pattern at Sew, Mama, Sew! for making her kimono dog harness.  It works like the nylon webbing style harnesses you can buy in the store, but made cuter and softer out of a fabric print.  The pattern she gives was made to fit her 10 pound Pomeranian/poodle mix.  If you needed, I’m sure you could adjust the size larger.    Get the tutorial.

    • Unfortunately that site is no longer around. I tried looking for a similar dog harness pattern but couldn’t find one that was the same. You might try searching Etsy for a sewing pattern to buy. (I’m a cat lady so I don’t know enough about dogs to recommend a particular pattern.) –Anne

Sew a Pincushion for Pins, Needles, and Fabric Clips

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion.  You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again.  There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from.  Some magnetic, some fabric.  Some cute, some purely functional.  This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing.  Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins.  The bottom section is for your regular straight pins.  Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them.  The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles.  I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion.  It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it.  So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips.  Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin.  They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth).  You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
