Dinosaur #1


This is just a simple enough little dinosaur that I made as a gift. The pattern was a free pattern I found online while doing a google search for sewing pattern. The soft brown material I used for the body has a nice stretch to it, allowing for a plump and rounded dinosaur figure, and the scales along its back bring a nice bit of colour to this otherwise bland dinosaur.


While the body is made from a soft and squishy brown fabric the back scales and feet pads are from a more stiff colourful material. This was done to allow the scales to stand upright on their own and to ensure the feet to remain flat while standing. The dinosaur was given a pair of black safety eyes before being stuffed and sewn shut.


The finished size for this plump little dinosaur is about 18cm from head to toe and about 29cm from nose to tail. Although this size will vary depending on the material used, as I mentioned I made this dinosaur with a stretchy material so it was stretched out a bit while being stuffed. This was a simple little project to hand sew and the end result is super cute. I can imagine a number of these little dinosaurs, all in differing colour.
