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

You Will Need (3 things)
- Satin Cami Top
- 4 Button(s)
- Embroidery Sewing Gear
Steps (11 steps, 90 minutes)
-
1
raid your lingerie drawer & grab that never-worn satin cami
-
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
chop off the schnicky schnacky frou frou bits
-
4
add an eye to each cup…erm…side of the head
-
5
fold in half right-sides-facing
-
6
stitch together leaving one side open for turning & stuffing
-
7
give your almost a dino some fluffy filling & stitch up the open edge
-
8
create 4 legs from some coordinating scraps & snag 4 mid-sized buttons (I used the chopped bottoms from the shortened PJ pants)
-
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
add some simple embroidered features & present it to your little dino-lover!
