    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Preface:
    This project takes less than 2 hours to embroider and stitch the diaper together. This works best for toy breeds, and small dogs.


    Step 1:
    Gather all supplies needed and read through the instructions.

    Step 2:
    Print templates of all designs.


    Step 3:
    Measure around the dog's middle.

    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.

    Step 6:
    Hoop fabric with 2 pieces of tear away backing and place template inside hoop. Mark center, remove template and stitch out design.

    Step 7:

    Step 9:
    With right sides together, using a 5/8" seam allowance, stitch along the two long sides. Now stitch 1/4" across one short end.
     


    Step 10:
    Press seams open and turn right side out, turn in 1/4" on open end and stitch across to close opening.

    Step 11:
    Cut the Velcro (both parts) into 3 1/2" pieces long. Stitch Velcro across each end, one on the inside of the embroidered end. The other end should be stitched on the outside.

    Step 12:
    You may want to use the fold over elastic, I have made some with and some without. Cut 2 pieces of fold over elastic 8" long, mark center of elastic and center of diaper between the Velcro. Stitch the elastic to the diaper matching the centers and stretching the elastic so it fits.

    All that is left to do is to attach a pad. (I used a Poise pad).


    Step 14:
    This project was done in memory of our office mascot "Risky Business". A little dynamite weighting less than 5 pounds of total love. We love and miss you so much.

    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.
