Skills: Cutting fabric from a pattern // sewing with laminate fabric using a walking foot using bias tape for binding // sewing through multiple layers of laminate and felt // attaching a magnetic snap

Step 1 -  Cutting:

• Download the free pattern
• Cut out PDF pattern and place on fabric. 
• Cut two (2) of main fabric and two (2) of lining fabric.
• Cut a 4” x 2” rectangle from both main and lining fabrics.

Step 2 - Sew and assemble:

• Pin and sew center seam (rights sides together) for both the main and lining jacket pattern.
• Top stitch ¼” on each side of seam.
• Add binding to the edge of the main jacket edge.  Clip the curved seam allowances of the binding tape so to lay flat.

• Pin the 4” x 2” rectangle on the main jacket pattern. Place at center long ways to the back seam. On the long ends, sew 1” down, across and up to form a box. Add this rectangle piece to the lining to make the jacket reversible.
  
  
• With wrong sides together, lay the main and lining fabric on top of each other.  Spray 505 Spray Adhesive to help the fabrics from moving while sewing.
• Fold over the binding tape encasing both the main and lining fabric to finish off the edge. 
• Place and sew on magnetic fasteners on the over-lapping neck flaps of the jacket.

Step 3 - Belting and Strap Buckle:

• Measure and cut the belting between 25”- 30”.
• Slide the belting through the sewn tab on jacket.

Follow the instruction to add the buckle to belting. Pre-measure around the dog’s waist to ensure the proper fit.
