Help attaching D-rings? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

another option that will not spoil the look of anything really nice is to buy a step in choke free harness, Then sew button holes in the outfits. The choke free harness does not show through most of the clothes Lola wears and it is not bulky. I have done this with many of her more fancy dresses that I did not want d rings on.

Yes, this is what I do now, but I want the d-rings on a lot of the outfits.
BTW, Couldn't find the rings at Walmart this AM. They just had huge ones, & no space on the display for small ones. Home Depot didn't have anything. Has anyone bought them at Hobby Lobby or Michael's?

they have several sizes and colors at JoAnn's Hobby Lobby probably has them as well

Yay! We found something!
(Okay, so I know you ladies are pros when it comes to making dresses & such, & you really have something to be proud of, but I'm kinda proud here, too.)
After a hopeless search for welded D-rings we found something we like better! We found these cute little heart "beads" at Michael's. Since my dogs are so small & I use very lightweight leashes, these hearts are working great-& they're so cute!
Thank you for all your help, & just maybe one of you will want to try these, too....

Hi - I am Annie's sister who now has the job of sewing on over 50 hearts! It's a good activity while watching a movie. I am impressed at the responses Annie received from her friends at Yorkie Talk! What a great group with good, practical advice. I don't write on here much - I let Annie take care of that - but - I do scan and read and love all the photos.

Your Yorkies are all so darling and so are you!

etsy has welded d rings i find it less expensive then ebay. i iron interfacing on my dring fabric first and then iron the seams and place it into the bodice with the skirting and sew them at the same time unless i am doing it the way donna does it and i still use interfacing to make it stronger.
