Dragon Pattern
Size 22" or 55cm from head to feet.
Cut out all your pieces .cut 2 leg pieces approximately 24"x3" or (60cm x 8cm) the feet are stitched to both ends then folded to make 2 legs.
Sew around your body circle sewing in the dark green long zig zag piece as you go , begin at the cut line behind the head and finish at the end of his tail remembering to face it inwards .
Stitch across one end so you can turn .
Turn and fill with wadding , (nice and firm.)
Now stitch both ends together ,this join will be at the back of the head.
Next stitch both your pieces of the head together stitching in the ears , remember to face them inwards. Sew completely all around then make a small cut at the back , so you can turn and fill it. Once you have filled your head sew up the cut, this will not be seen , as it will sit at the back .
You can now stitch on the face features .
Now stitch your feet , only stitch half way around and set to one side.( do this to all four feet)
Now stitch one feet at each end of the two legs, they should sit so that the front seam of the feet is in the centre of the leg, so that when you stitch down the back of the leg you carry on down the back of the feet until you join up with the stitches you did at the front of the feet leave a gap halfway along so you can turn and fill ,only fill the feet not the legs.
Now stitch up the gap and sew them into position , stitch the leg to the body half way so that you end up with two legs both the same length .stitch both legs onto the flat section at the bottom of the body.
To finish off stitch the head to the body .
That's it ,(easy )and lots of fun check out the other handle toys , or create your own.
