dinosaur softie

August is crazy birthday month here... SO many birthdays which means many opportunities to make some wonderful things :)

This week I made this really cute little dinosaur for a dear friend's little boy who turned one this week! I loved making this little dinosaur!

dinosaur - green cord and feather arrow screen print
:: dinosaur - fine green cord and feather arrow screen print

The pattern is based on this one here. I had to re-drafted the pattern as it was a bit wonky in parts... and I didn't do the feet as suggested, as it was going to be too fiddly!  But otherwise, it was all pretty straight forward! I used fine green cord and some of my feather arrow screen printed fabric as a contrast. And I made sure it was 1yr old friendly, no loose bits that could be choked on!



I am so happy with how he turned out and now my little man wants one too! :)

Hope you are having a great creative week!
There are lots of creative people over at my creative space...

  1. It's awesome! What a great gift. Cohen would love it too. There is something about little ones and dinosaurs, isn't there? :)

  2. Aaawww - he's adorable, his new owner is going to love him! I second Christina, my girls go nuts over dinosaurs. I thought they might freak out over the scary teeth and slobber etc (in books etc) but it just intensifies the fascination!? I prefer the soft and smiley kind myself. : )

  3. What is it with little boys and dinosaurs? It's like they've read the 'little boys handbook' Rule no. 1: must love dinosaurs! And I love how you've used your fabric for the spines - beautiful touch.

  14. Oh this is so cute! I love dinosaurs, so I totally want one for myself now (I don't think anyone is ever too old for a soft toy- at least that's my excuse for collecting them!)
