My Welsh Dragon


I was recently asked if I had a Welsh dragon pattern. I looked in my filing cabinet and found a pattern and uploaded it to my computer. I scanned it and enlarged it. I trimmed the pattern and pinned it to two sheets of red felt. I cut it out and embroidered the markings with black embroidery floss. The pieces were sewn together using the buttonhole stitch while stuffing the dragon lightly. He turned out well and my son, named after his Welsh 2nd great grandfather, loves him. My next project will be to make a shadowbox minus the glass enclosure and then hang it in my son's room.
