With options for either a Dragon or Dinosaur, your little ones will be training their dragons (or flying them like Daenarys) and snuggling their dinos before you've had a change to finish up your last ladder stitch!
The perfect FREE pattern for using up scraps of woven fabrics and interfacing - and the perfect partner for the Rebecca Page Unicorn Pillow.
I mean, one can NEVER have enough pillows.
Okay, I'm an adult. With no kids. And I'm not giving up either my Dragon or Dino - they're just so stinking cute!
The Dinosaur is like a Stegosaurus Brontosaurus mix, and I'd say the most time consuming part is the cutting - so be prepared for little details here.
I used some random lightweight cotton fabric for his body.
His nails, mouth, and eyes are created from iron-on fabric (I purchased mine at Wal Mart - the only place I seem to be able to find it).
I used my Sharpie markers to draw in the red of the mouth (hence cute little teeth), and the colours of his eyes.
Each spike is hand cut with iron on interfacing between to allow them to stand up straight, made of baby fleece fabric.
In total, there are 14 spikes - so a bit of work to cut out, but worth the end result.
Stagger the spikes as pictured, and voila!
My dragon is pretty magical - created with some sort of teal galaxy cotton fabric for the main body, and sheer shimmery fabric for the wings.
You can be as creative as you want with either the dino or dragon - and I went all out for Draco the Dragon!
He seems to appreciate it - just look at the fun he is having!
His mouth, teeth, and eyes are also made from iron on fabric - the teeth are separate this time to give them that large scary look.
His eyes I drew in with Sharpies, and he has a nice shimmery gold sparkle pen eyeliner that any girl would be jealous of.
His nails are cute and created with velvet scraps - I wanted to keep the shimmery flow throughout my pillow.
And his spikes are made from a purplish shimmery fabric with an inner iron on interfacing to keep them standing upright. Thankfully there weren't as many spikes as there were with the dino. I think that's why I spent the time on the little add ons for Draco.
See how sparkly his wings are? I added on sparkle lines with glitter pens, and I glue gunned a line of turquoise lace where the wings meet his body.
Do be sure to hide the pillow(s) if you do use glitter pens, as they really ought to dry over night before being handled!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed creativng both pillows - it's a nice change from sewing up clothing.
The instructions were well written and the pictures help a lot for more novice seamstresses.
