On my previous post I have shared what are the main purposes of having a belly band for dogs. And it is pretty interesting, right? But if you find it really expensive to buy and you do not have the budget for it as of the moment, don’t worry; you can make you own belly band for dogs with just a minimum of the price and just a fraction of your time. Here are the ways on how to sew it.

The first thing that you have to do in making a belly band for your dog is to measure the size of the band. You can obtain it by using a measuring tape to measure around his stomach. Make sure that the measurement is well-fit; not too tight and not too loose.

Use any kind of fabric that is 20 inches wide. You can even use a fabric that belongs from an old shirt or any other garment that you don’t wear anymore. Cut the the rest as per measurement you have obtained. After that take a wash cloth and cut it an inch smaller than all the sides of the fabric we previously measured and cut. This will serve as a good absorbent; it will be much better if you can line the band with sanitary napkin.

Now all you have to do is to fold the band in half, making it 10 inches wider now. Stitch the three remaining sides.

And voila, you have your very own belly band for dogs!
