Dinosaur and Loch Ness MonsterStuffed Animal Sewing Pattern - Digital Download
The instructions were easy to follow and the plushies turned out so cute!
Perfect! Exactly the pattern I was looking for!
The pattern is super simple, but it is really hard to sew around the eye! I had to hand sew some of it. If it'd be slightly bigger, it'd be a lot easier. I even cut it out 1/4” out from the original cut line. Anyways, turned out pretty cute at the end!
It’s a Awesome and Cute Pattern for the Loch Ness/ Nessie and Dino.
I mostly liked making the Nessie Pattern I had made two so far.
It’s Super Cute.
Would Recommend if You Like Dino and Loch Ness.
It’s Super easy for me to make with my years of experience of sewing plushies with just hand Sewing.
Thank you BeeZeeArt
Overall, I liked the pattern. I’ve made 5 dinos from it so far... but there was a huge learning curve in getting them to look right from this pattern and instructions so it took that many attempts to finally make one I considered good (not Frankenstein-ed back together or derpy because the eyes were crooked). 1. The pattern has no seam allowance; this was noted in several places in the pattern, but adding in a consistent ¼” seam allowance myself was time-consuming. 2. It was suggested that I add safety eyes at step one, but I could never get both eyes back through the neck. I finally ended up adding them after flipping the dinosaur (which also helped me hide imperfections in my construction and still get the eyes centered on each side of the head). 3. Instructions included many pictures to assist with understanding, yay! – until I got to step 5 and it said “fold the leg darts in on themselves” and nothing in the pattern was labeled as a “leg dart.” However, I contacted the artist and got a very fast response which included a link to a very informative blog post and this made total sense afterward. 3. I think it should be labeled as a hand-sewing pattern. This was my first pattern from this artist, so I didn’t know that the artist often sews these patterns by hand. Once you put in the safety eyes, the sewing machine can’t maintain a ¼ inch seam allowance for the head sewing UNLESS you use your machine’s zipper foot. There is no hope for the feet of the long neck dino, however. There’s simply no way to attach a ¾” circle with a machine. If I’d known, I would have enlarged the pattern before beginning. 4. The suggestion was to leave part of the body open to flip the dino, but this never gave me enough room. I ended up either leaving the tail open or making a cut along the center of the belly to flip the dinos right-side out. 5. I upcycled a T-shirt when I tried the long neck dino at the original size. Since I backed it with interfacing to prevent stretch when I traced the pattern, I needed to clip corners to help it lay right (this isn’t necessarily the pattern’s fault since it calls for fleece which doesn’t need corners clipped like a non-stretchy fabric). Just yet another note to self I had to make to get the dinos to look good from this pattern.
