Description

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…

Instructions

  1. Small dscf8813

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

  2. Small dscf8814

    *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. Small dscf8816

    chop off the schnicky schnacky frou frou bits

  4. Small dscf8817

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

  5. Small dscf8818

    fold in half right-sides-facing

  6. Small dscf8819

    stitch together leaving one side open for turning & stuffing

  7. Small dscf8820

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

  8. Small dscf8821

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

  9. Small dscf8822

    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. Small dscf8823

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

  11. Small 5

    Wheeee!
