I NEED a dragon pattern. Does anyone have a dragon pattern that I can make Colin some dragons out of. I love Danielle's dragons but when she put up her last batch of dragons right before Easter, dh said no when I asked to get one. And really his excuses were valid (trying to pay off bills, fixing to move and need to spend money on repairs for house, you could make it yourself, LOL). So Selena is dyeing me wool felt and on thing I want to do with the felt I get, it make a dragon.

I know I could eventually figure out a pattern (I've done stuff like this before) but I thought I'd ask first. Save myself some trouble. I'm trying to start on their Birthday and Christmas presents early so I'm not rushing (like I always do) when I'm trying to make them.

A good way to figure out a dragon is to adapt a dinosaur pattern... or a horse pattern... unfortunately, there are no simple felt dragon patterns out there.

There is a seller on eBay who always ends up for selling around $10 and her pattern is based on her horse pattern, looks like it.. shorter leggs, longer body and big wings and tail...

I have a pattern that I made cut out but I have never had a chance to sew it up... hopefully someday....

There is a dragon pattern in the book called ¨Sewing Tiny Toys¨, but it is Chinese dragon and you´d probably want to adjust the pattern ( use less colors and therefore have less pieces to sew together).
Also ¨Sew a dinosaur : 21 playful prehistoric beasts to follow you home¨ / written and illustrated by Michelle Lipson has some dinosaurs that look like they´d make perfect dragons.
Check your library!

Thanks Guys!!!

Anu, I almost bought Sewing Tiny Toys and flat talked myself out of it. I'll have to go ahead and get it. I'll check out the dinosaur book too. Thanks!!!
