According to my nearly three year old kidlet, bunnies are out & dinosaurs are all the rage nowadays…who knew?

Any idea what silky item I used to make her newest pal?

*here’s how to create one of your own before the dino-trend goes extinct…

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Satin Cami Top
  • 4 Button(s)
  • Embroidery Sewing Gear

Steps (11 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    raid your lingerie drawer & grab that never-worn satin cami

  2. 2

    *this one was the top from a PJ set that looked lovely online but turned out to be awkwardly backless…the bottoms were awesomely comfy & only needed shortening so the set was kept + I knew the top would come in handy some day…

    onto the step-by-step:

  3. 3

    chop off the schnicky schnacky frou frou bits

  4. 4

    add an eye to each cup…erm…side of the head

  5. 5

    fold in half right-sides-facing

  6. 6

    stitch together leaving one side open for turning & stuffing

  7. 7

    give your almost a dino some fluffy filling & stitch up the open edge

  8. 8

    create 4 legs from some coordinating scraps & snag 4 mid-sized buttons (I used the chopped bottoms from the shortened PJ pants)

  9. 9

    hand stitch the legs to each side (sewing straight through the button holes, into the body & out through the other button on the opposite side allows the legs to move back & forth)

  10. 10

    add some simple embroidered features & present it to your little dino-lover!

    Wheeee!
