Dragons, Dragons, Everywhere! The Rebecca Page Dino Dragon Stuffed Toy Sewing Pattern






Always be yourself.

 Unless you can be a dragon.

Then always be a dragon!

I love whimsy and magic – dragons, fairies, and unicorns.

Rebecca Page brought out the whimsy in me with her Dragon(and Dinosaur) sewing pattern – and gave me a great way to use all this felt I was gifted by my aunt-in-law a few years ago.

Included in the pattern are options for:



  • Making a dinosaur or dragon
  • Spine horns
  • Feathered Wings
  • Head horns
  • A mix of Hand sewing and glue gun, or machine and hand sewing – whichever way you want to create your creature with!



 


These dragons are SO adorable - and worth the time and effort they take to make.  I love that it's the perfect lazy-day sew - with my trusty glue gun, little scissors, felt, glitter, and embroidery thread. 

My blue dragon was 100% to the pattern with respect to making the dragon.

I love the different colours I used, and the end result.












Now, this pattern is time consuming, so get ready to Netflix and Chill!


Cutting out all the separate felt pieces, ironing double sided interfacing for each piece, and a mix of glue gun work and hand sewing.


But the end results are rather magical!
 






I doubled up my feathers on my 2nd & 3rd dragons, for a more dramatic wing effect - and added glitter, because GLITTER!  




I did find that stuffing the tail in small sections after every 6 stitches helped me stuff the 2nd & 3rd dragon tails a LOT easier than sewing it all up, and THEN stuffing the tail. I did the same with the body - a little bit of sewing, a little bit of stuffing - and there were no stretched stitches or uneven stuffing doing it in this manner. 





Overall, it would be a great summer project for the kids, fantasy lover, or someone like me who is working on their eye-brain co-ordination and keeping track of the little detailed things in life again. 

Grab yourself some dinosaur and dragon magic here.

Affiliate links help with the hours, fabric, and tears that go behind testing each pattern in order to provide a real-person view on the patterns for you (and me!)
