Hi
I've been sewing dog bandanas and decided the curved 'bib' type are the best fitting. I do my best in terms of following the rules. I know about making little cuts into the curve ( in my case, it's a gradual concave curve), but I wonder if I can avoid doing that - because the seam allowance will be 6 mm and I don't want to finish the seams.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that (for research purposes) I deconstructed the same 'bib / boomerang' type bandanas by a big seller on 'Etsy'. I noticed that she didn't appear to have finished her seams. She had zero puckering around the concave curve of her bandana. I wonder how she achieved that? How did she end up with no puckering without making snips? You see, the seam, when opened-up presented no evidence of having been clipped.
If you google suitable fabric for making dog bandanas, you get "100% cotton." Would any of you use fabric other than cotton to make a dog bandana? I don't fancy using anything which would irritate or cause harm to a dog, nor do I want to sew with something with a lot of stretch, because I'd struggle sewing with it.
Any suggestions?
