Instructions:

• Basic Leash
• Cut webbing and ribbon to length indicated in size chart.
• Carefully melt short ends of webbing with lighter to prevent fraying.
• Turn under ¼” on short ends of ribbon; press.
• Lay webbing right side up; lay ribbon right side up over webbing; pin in place.
• Topstitch ribbon to webbing 1/8” inside edges of ribbon.
• Thread right end of leash through clip so there is 1” of leash on wrong side of leash.
• Topstitch ¼” from end.
• To form a handle, on the opposite end of leash, fold 6” to wrong side.
• Topstitch ¼” from end of leash.
• Flower Trim
• Rotary cut three strips of tulle to the following measurements: 3”x16”; 2.5”x16”; 2”x16”.
• Right sides together, seam the short ends of each strip together.
• With a warm iron, press seam to one side. Begin folding the 3” wide strip in half
horizontally with right sides out, pressing fold in place. When pressing, use extreme
caution- a too warm iron will melt tulle.
• Repeat for remaining two strips of tulle.
• Layer the strips one on top the other, with the widest on the bottom, then the middle strip
and the narrowest strip on top. Pin together.
• ¼” from raw edges, sew one row of basting around strip, through all layers, keeping raw
edges even.
• Sew another row of basting ¼” from first row.
• Pull up gathering tightly, until there is no hole in the center. Tie off threads.
• By hand, sew button to center of flower; sew elastic band securely to back center of
flower.

To finish leash, thread flower over handle end of leash to desired position.
