I made this stuffed dragon for my niece for Christmas. She’s a little over a year old and hopefully she likes it. This was my first attempt at something three dimensional and animal-shaped. I think it turned out pretty well. I got the pattern on Etsy about three weeks ago, after making some small plushies for my cousin’s baby that were incredibly simple but cute.
I don’t think it is fantastic. The wings aren’t aligned correctly, the head is slightly turned, and the neck feels weak to me, but I ran out of time to make a completely new second dragon, so it will have to do. I would definitely make another dragon for friends with kids and think that the next time around I will be able to correct some of the mistakes I made this time around. Hopefully despite its flaws it’s well received.
it looks great, and she will love it! i wish i were a little kid so you would make me one…true story.
i think the tilted head/alignment of the wings give the dragon character, btw…
Pretty sure she’s not going to care if its “perfect”. I think it looks pretty awesome :)
I think it is friggin’ AWESOME!! Well done Shannon! :)
