New project: Ember the Dragon Plushie

    I've been working on making a plushie of Ember the Dragon, my original creation.

 I used this tutorial to make the pattern for my plushie : http://nataliaserrano.deviantart.com/art/Plushie-Pattern-Tutorial-179305255

  I built up the form using newspaper and masking tape and instead of using clear plastic wrap, like the tutorial said to use, I cut up a plastic grocery bag and pieced it together to fit around the armature. I made the pattern for one half of the plushie like the tutorial said to do for a symmetrical plushie.

 Here are all the finished pattern pieces, and the fleece fabric for the main body.

  I cut out all the pieces. I used scraps of white fabric for the horns and claws and went to the thrift store and bought a silver shirt for the fabric for the wings and belly. :)

  I just finished embroidering both the eyes of my plushie. I haven't started sewing yet.

  I get easily distracted when it comes to crafting, I need the motivation or someone to remind me to finish my work. I just really like starting new projects! I lost track of how many projects are waiting to be finished. It's not that I don't finish what I start, its just without motivation I take a long time to complete things.

  So if you read this and like my work, please remind me in the comments to complete my other projects if I haven't shown you the finished product already. I need other people to motivate me.

  Thanks for reading!
