out the pattern; Go to Pattern, then
click on "print". He should print out about 3-1/4" wide; your browser may
make him larger or smaller. That's OK, this isn't rocket science!
Cut out the pattern.
Fold the fabric wrong sides together. Trace the dragon’s body onto the back of the fabric, but don't cut it out. Use a tiny stitch length to sew along traced lines, leaving about an inch open in the belly for stuffing. Use pinking shears to cut out the dragon’s back, from top of head to tip of tail, just outside stitching line. Use regular shears to cut out the rest of dragon. Cut open the mouth, too. Cut a pipecleaner in half. Fold one piece in half, and insert the fold to the tip of the dragon’s tail. Fold the second piece in half, the fold down 1/2 inch of each end. Insert the two folded ends into the dragon’s jaws, and bend the rest to fit inside the head/neck/body. Stuff the rest of the neck, body, and tail. Machine stitch the opening closed. Wrap the tail around a skinny dowel or pencil, then arrange in an attractive spiral, with the tip pointing out. |

Teeth:
Cut white paper once with pinking shears (solid line in illustration below),
then cut again with the scissor teeth halfway between the previous cut
(dotted line). Trim off excess from the straight side, and glue the teeth
in place.

| For the wings, use fusible web to fuse two pieces of fabric wrong sides together. Cut out two wings. Trace the vein marks on the wings with felt pen or stitch or embroider them. Glue or sew the wings to the body, one on each side. Add a seed bead eye and a pin back. |
