Step 4:
The dog measured 14" around, allow a 2" overlap on each end, so the finished diaper will measure 18" high by 3 1/2" wide.
Step 5:
Using a marking pen or chalk, draw the measurements of the Doggie Diaper that you need allowing a 5/8" seam on the long sides and 1/4" on the short ends. Be sure to mark where the Velcro will be stitched, as you will want the design stitched below it.

I hope you have fun selecting fabric and designs to make these. Maybe you do not have a male dog that needs one, but they would make a nice gift to give to a friend that has a small dog that can not control it's self.
