Yea I did use a pattern And it took about 5 hours straight to make. I made a few mistakes so I had to remake stuff. But in te end it was still fun!

How do you make a belly band I was thinking of making one for Andy.

i use fleece that doesnt stretch too much cause it is softer....you can do cute material on top and fleece on bottom.....if you do all fleece.....you just cut the material 8-10 inches wide....according to the age of the dog....if under 9 months probably 8 inches....if close to 1 or older then use 10 inches....cut it the entire width of the material which is about 60 inches with fleece material......fold in half length wise which is gonna make it 4-5 inches wide......seam down the dntire length of the piece 1/2 inch wide seam allowance......turn it inside out/shich makes it now the right side out....then you measure around little man including his "man hood".....then add 3 inches to that measurement.....turn in 1/4 inch on bothe ends and sew across.......then sew all around the outside at about 1/2 seam allowance......you need to get velcro that you sew in.......turn the piece of velcro side ways and cut it just before the edges....sew it all the way around the piece.......put the scratchy piece at one end...flip the piece over and put the soft piece at the opposite end.......that should be it....if you have any questions feel free to pm me....
