Done Dragon

Here is what this guy looks like completed; now he just needs a name!

Dragon Whelp update

Here are the updated pictures of the little guy. Zane is so excited! I need to make the wings and sew on the spines and then he'll be done. It wasn't as hard as I thought and it didn't take as long as I expected!

Dragon Whelp pt. 3

Snout, head, body, ears, legs, arms, spines, feet, eyelids (from back left to right)

body, head, and snout together

So, I have most of the red pieces done and started sewing them together (so I don't forget which pieces they are!). What do you think?

Dragon Whelp pt. 2

Here are the legs and feet for the little guy. I just have to figure out how to attach the feet. I will have to stare at the directions a little longer to see if I can figure it out!

First attempt

So, my oldest son fell in love with this dragon when I was looking at pictures. Crossing my fingers that I wasn't overestimating my abilities, but positive that I was, I decided to purchase the pattern and hope for the best. I just kept telling myself that he is 2 1/2 and as long as it vaguely resembled a dragon it would make him happy. I got the body done and I wasn't quite happy with how it came out because my marker hadn't looked right while it was working up. I decided to redo it and realized that I had neglected 5 rows (the neck!) anyway! Good thing I decided to go back....

Here are some pictures of what it should look like when I'm done. Pattern is by April Draven and can be purchased through Etsy.
