Fat Dragon Pattern

I forgot to say that if you add the ears/horns, you'll want to fold them under when you sew the top of the head on.  They remain hidden until the plush is turned out. 
If you use a material that is only one sided, be sure to take then into account and either have the top side facing out, or fold it over so that it is double sided.  
Same with the tail.  If you use the forked edge, just turn the tips inward so they'll show when you turn it out.

I have not yet made a part two for this tutorial.  But it's pretty simple.
With the underside pinned on and the back left open, (but pinned to hold it in place), just sew the underside onto the top parts. 
Remember, I clubbed the feet, so don't bother cutting and sewing toes unless you're more ambitious than me. 
Underside is now sewn into place, plush is turned out


That's it!  Turn him out, sew on your spikes/ridges/whatever (same way you did the ears), stuff him, sew the back shut, and sew on your wings. 
All that's left after that is to decorate your dragon.  googly eyes, fabric paints, and beads work great.

Now your dragon is finished and ready to go make some friends!
