Christmas Stylin'
We don't really like to wear dresses for the holidays, but we do like to look special and these bandana-style collar slipcovers and scrunchie neck ruffles keep us looking stylish.
Penny models a Poinsettia and Roses Bandana style collar slipcover. She wears a size Medium - which means the triangle section has a "drop" of about 6 inches from the top of the bandana to the point. The casing that her collar slips through is about 3" longer than her collar so it covers it completely.
Larger or smaller sized bandanas are scaled up or down so that the triangle section is longer or shorter for bigger or smaller pups. Large bandanas are about an inch longer with a 7 inch drop; Small bandanas are about an inch shorter with a 5 inch drop. The channel is custom sized in length and width, depending on actual collar sizes.
Keli (below) models a Large Classic Christmas Plaid Bandana collar slipcover - the plaid fabric is a cotton/metallic blend so it is just a bit sparkly! But, it is also very lightweight and a little bit slippery, so we added a button and elastic loop on the end to help keep it from bunching up on her collar. This button is pretty for the girls, and we have plain gold buttons to sew on for the boys.

Here's Keli again wearing a Peppermint Candy Bandana style collar slipcover.
We have a scrunchie neck ruffle made with a different Peppermint Candy fabric, too.

Penny models this Christmas Stripes and Dots scrunchie neck ruffle. The colors are just a little bit Grinch-y, don't you think?
Penny's ruffles are based on her neck/collar size. Since her snug neck measurement is 13 inches and she wears a 14 inch long collar, we make her ruffles so they fit a 14 inch circle; they stretch a little, but rest very comfortable on her neck.
We make up sample scrunchies in 14- and 16-inch sizes for most, and we make custom sized ruffles for each pet. We even makde them for cats!
Keli and Penny model the Classic Christmas Plaid scrunchie neck ruffles below.
We have several sets of scrunchies in coordinating red and green fabrics, too. Keli models the Berry Red scrunchie, Penny models the Berry Green scrunchie.
Keli models the Green and Gold Striped scrunchie; Penny models the coordinating Red and Gold Striped scrunchie.
One last photo - Penny models the scrunchie we call Santa's Helper, because the gold swirls on the green fabric remind us of one of Santa's elves.
We keep adding to the collection when we find fun fabrics, so if you'd like to see more, browse all our Christmas Bandanas and Scrunchies SewAmazin's Studio blog and SewAmazin on Etsy.
