I found the pattern on Clothdollpatterns,com. I searched for a long time for a free pattern, but no luck. But this place has everything. I could have spent a lot of money there. Over 1500 patterns they say. And lots and lots of different designers. I had to look at every single pattern. There are lots of dragons there. I chose him because of his kind face. But I may make some of the other types of dragons later when he is older. This one is for his fifth birthday.

I did learn some new techniques, so that was fun, but he was a lot of work. I think if I made another I would make him fatter and his head a bit bigger, but that is just how I am. I have a hard time following patterns.

Oh, the pattern called for green, but my husband decided red would be better. He picked the fabric. It is suede cloth, and the belly is a scale print in cotton.

Looks great to me and will to him, too! Too small of a head! It's perfect.

Oh, and the color really is red, a good true darkish red. He looks pink in the pictures.

I never thought much about dragons before. He is amazing! I have made a lot of dolls but nothing as intricate as your dragon. Wonderful work! :thumbup: :thumbup:
