I make paracord leashes and long lines for my boy. I've sewed a coat for him but it didn't come out too good, and the one time I tried crocheting a sweater for him was a monumental failure, so I stick to the paracord.

Thank you! I've made a few more collars already, but I didn't take a pic of them before giving them away as gifts, haha. xD I made a big oops with the one I was working on, I was so frustrated with my sewing machine that I forgot to loop it through the ring before sewing it together. -facepalm-

I have an industrial sewing machine so I make my oun leashes. I probably have at least a dozen from 12" to 100'. It's not too hard just be careful of fingers when working close to the needle. I put three stitches in a finger when I was trying to turn a corner. Ouch! I just clipped the thread and pulled them out. Lucky I didn't hit the nail.

I can do leather nut material is too expensive. It's better to just purchase those.

I make snuffle mats, fleece toys, and the occasional odd thing like potty bells or bandanas.

cool topic!
I have made a few toys for Baloo. His little teeth are really razor sharp and tiny so he manages to hook any small stich in fabric toys and boy once he has gotten a "in" the toy is pulled apart in minutes. He thinks the stuffing inside is the best thing since sliced bread and will do anything to get to it. so as a result I have been playing around with finding materials that is more durable. And since cotton stitching is his way in, I decided to cut up a old jersey and make a long wormy kinda toy and stuffed it with strips of a towel. its working beautifully! he has not been able to undo a wool stitch yet. (note I say "yet" my little monster can be very determined! lol! ) and when he undoes the knot I tie loosely at the end of his "worm" he has a blast pulling the towel strips out. and then he has even more fun watching me run around picking up towelling and re stuffing the worm while im making a huge fuss that his toy is now mine. then he cant grab it from me quick enough and the whole game starts all over again. total bliss to watch him enjoy it so much and the toy stays in tact. I am now busy knitting him another one.
