designer dog collar

 
 
This Victorian craft for a dog collar is from an 1872 Harper's Bazaar magazine. The collar consists of a strip of blue cashmere sixteen inches long and an inch and a quarter wide, which is ornamented, as shown by the illustration, with application figures of red cloth and with button-hole and herring­bone stitching of red saddler's silk. 
 
 
The appliqué figures are set on with point Russe stitching of red silk and knots of blue silk.

This strip is lined with red enameled cloth, and trimmed on one side with a box-pleated muffle of red worsted braid seven-eighths of an inch wide, which is set between the material and lining.

A button covered with blue cashmere and ornamented with an appliqué figure, and two loops of red worsted cord, close the collar. 

These loops at the same time cover the seam made by setting on two pieces of blue worsted cord each four inches long, and which are trimmed with clipped red worsted balls and small bells.

In the middle of the collar is an oval brass ring covered with blue silk, and on this ring is fastened the ribbon designed for the line with a button and button-hole.

The line or leash consists of a strip of blue cashmere seven-eighths of an inch wide, which is ornamented with point Russe embroidery of red silk and a piece of red satin ribbon an inch and a quarter wide, which is stitched on the cashmere strip.
