Simplicity 8715 Children's Stuffed Animal Dragon Toy Sewing Patterns by Beezee Art, One Size Only

When I cut out the pattern pieces, I realized some of the pieces (tail end and legs) would be too small for my not so nimble fingers. I enlarged the pieces by 140% and made a mock up to test fitting. It actually came out pretty good and I am pleased with it. Looking forward to making the actual.

Excellent instructions, clear guidelines. Recommend reading them thoroughly a few times. I’m an advanced craftsman and I found it helpful to double check multiple times. Very clever regarding how the legs are attached. I will be doing embroidery work for the eyes, mouth and nose to add a bit more expression. I find eye buttons not to be satisfactory. The package suggests plush fleece Minky, I strongly suggest you buy it on Amazon because I looked at five stores here in Boise and they average anywhere from $18-$24 a yard. I could have chosen to use a regular fleece, however, I liked the Minky fleece the best. When I’m done, I will take pictures and update my review.

I made several these as gifts to my friends, unfortunately I did not take a lot of photos. I will say i did the dragon style and it took about 3-5 hours each one. I would not recommend for absolutely beginners but I am also semi a beginner, but Im ok with things not being perfect. The size is great and they do fit on the shoulders. If you do this I highly recommend you use fleece or mink fleece as they are easy to work with.

This pattern for dragons looks neat and the dragon turned out great once I figured out the directions. The directions ere hard to follow and could have been more detail not only with words but with the drawings.

I have a LOT of scrap fabric and I have decided to use it up making these for the delightful children that live in my neighborhood. You couldn’t ask for nicer children as neighbors. The pattern is easy to follow. As with most things , I made the first one following the directions exactly. After that I simplified the sewing and assembly to make it easier to make. If you sew you know what I mean. If this is a first for you I suggest ignoring the complicated directions for the limbs and simply sewing them on by hand. Looks exactly the same but is so much easier. Also leave a small gap in the seam near the tail’s end to make it easier to stuff. So far the recipient’s have been very happy with their dragons.

I'm a beginner so my dragon isn't perfect but I think with practice this pattern will be great!! I still ended up with a cute Lil guy.

As pictured.

I bought this for my 16 year old, and she absolutely loves it. It's a fairly easy pattern, and turns out really nice. She has made about half a dozen dragons in multiple colors of plain cotton fabric, fleece, and flannel. It all works great.

Made up easy nice pattern

Los patrones están muy claros, sin embargo el producto ya estaba usado o devuelto, pues estaba en condiciones de deterioro, más allá de un empaquetado deficiente, lo recibí abierto y usado, cuando se supone lo compre nuevo, pues revisé bien antes de ordenar.
