Eyes: Free (given to me by a friend)
Thread: Free (from my stash)
Pattern: Free (found on the internet)
Total Cost: $4.49
Project Rating
Difficulty: Hard - due to the size of the project. A larger proportion would have been easier to do.
Enjoyability: Good - I knew I was making this project for a friend's son, so it made it totally worth it.
Final Product: Decent - I failed to consider the bias of the material when cutting the back, so the tail twists a little to the left. However, this is a minor detail and the recipient seemed to not mind at all
Overall Rating: Okay - Despite some errors, the project ended up quite decent.
Because I'm starting my 101 crafts from three projects I've already completed, I did not take pictures of the process.
I used the pattern that can be found at Deviant Art. The creator of the pattern was Katy A. It can be found HERE.
The pattern is straight forward. I suggest increasing the size of the pattern by 1.5. I have created Toothless before, increasing the dimensions and found it much easier. Since the eyes I received for this stuffed animal were small, I did not increase the size, nor did I cut with a 1/4" seam allowance. This made the project incredibly difficult, but well worth it, proportionally.
I used a black fleece as the pattern suggested.
