Never force your pet to wear something if he or she does not want. that said, this costume is very simple and something most dogs will accept the wear and tear.It consists of two parts: a Cape and two leg bands. you can choose to omit the leg bands and just do the Cape, and you still get a funny, costume credible.
You must use some structure. I chose fleece, because it is easy to work with strongly and you do not have to finish edges. in contrast to most other textiles, when you cut them, start the edges do not resolve. you can simply cut the structure and use it as is.
Cut out a piece of cloth intended to cover your dog's back enough to look like a Cape. that the straps to tie around their necks cut I seam from the bottom of a fleece jacket. It is a piece of fleece is folded back on itself and sewn, so I cut straight past the stitching. Preserved piece intact, and it will keep its shape better than a single layer of fleece.
Ensure that the S logo, I cut a small shield-shaped piece of yellow fleece.Make sure it is small enough to fit on the dog back and is clearly visible. You can use the width of your dog back, near the shoulders, as a gauge.
Then cut a Democrat out of red felt, medium-sized to fit inside the shield. Sy'S on with red thread and a straight stitch on your sewing machine, or by hand.Alternatively, you can use the tacky or structure glue. make sure that you allow time for the glue to dry, if you stick to it.
Then sew shield onto Cape by means of a zigzag stitch.Again, you can use the glue, if you prefer.
You can stop here or mode some leg ties to your dog in the yellow fleece. used and cut simple rectangles, long enough to wrap around the dog wrist with sufficient overlap to sew on the hook and loop tape to use for the shutdown.
There you have it you can do this simple homemade dog Halloween costume superhero in about an hour or less for a mere fraction of the cost to buy a predefined. One final safety tips: never feed your dog human treats. chocolate and xylitol can be toxic to them, have a good howl-oween!
