Thank you! Yours was the only one I saw online that used fabric scraps and that's exactly what I want to do.

@patrice8257 3 года назад

This is a fabulous idea. Dogs with separation anxiety might benefit from this also.

@@TheCraftsChannel maybe if they’re good 😉, but it took me ages to make the one. I cut up old socks and fabric plus backed the mat fabric. It certainly kept them amused, especially Finn. 😊

A piece of sticky tape will help keeping them out the way while you stitch the next row. Love this. Thank you !

For something this size (which would be purrfect for a kitty) fold them over, put a strip of painter's (low tack) tape to hold them out of the way...I think my lady cat will like one of these.

Can you also make your own connected ruffles using a gathering stitch?

Do you mean sew all the pieces side to side first, then gather, then stitch to the backing? You could do it that way, but then there is twice as much thread in the construction, c x

Taping the strips back out of the way. So not to chance leaving a pin in the mat.

@swapnaeleswarapu8269 3 года назад

Do we need to cut the scraps uniformly or would it be fine to use oddly shaped scraps? I make bags and clothes and those have curves and my scraps are always oddly shaped, not neat or easily trimmed to neat rectangles. I know it would affect the final look perhaps but technique wise?

@TheCraftsChannel 3 года назад

Technique wise odd shapes are fine, I'd recommend you try to keep them about 3cm wide where you're going to stitch, and not too long in case your dog likes to eat fabric, c x
