3 CLOSURE OPTIONS
The three closure methods are all constructed using the same casing, so you can choose the hardware you already have or try something new.
The finished pouch measures approximately 4¾” wide × 4½” high × 2″ deep and comfortably holds more than 1 cup or a 6 oz bag of training treats.
This is also a great scrap-friendly sewing project for using favorite quilting cottons or canvas. The pattern includes information for using a moisture-resistant lining, making the inside easier to wipe clean after carrying dog treats.
PAIR A DOG TREAT BAG WITH OTHER DOG ACCESSORIES
These are great to pair with other dog items like:
• A dog poop bag holder
• A leash: with fabric on nylon webbing or using fabric scraps
• A dog bandana: Scrunchie Dog Bandana, Over the Collar Dog Bandana or a dog bandana made to your dog’s size to tie or snap
• A dog collar
