It’s always nice when I get to make something that will have a special purpose rather then just for my own enjoyment. So I was super exited when I heard that someone needed a birthday gift for their child and they like the stuffed animals I’ve made in the past. The kid’s favourite colour is orange and he likes dragons. Easy right? I decided to buy a new pattern for this project. This reversible dragon that turns into an egg, made by CholyKnight/SewDesuNe.
Egg? 
What’s that? 
Oh a face!
I’d bought some weird almost striped stuff on a fabric market that didn’t have a goal but I just thought it was cool. I decided it would probably work pretty well for the egg portion of the dragon. It was a little thin, so I did put some fusible interfacing on it and got on with sewing the spots and other markings on the different pieces. The pattern is very clear and explains what you need to do in great detail. I always love how CholyKnight makes patterns as both the free and the paid for versions are really good.
Look it’s a dragon! 
With wings. 
And some more of the egg.
The dragon came together nicely and it does turn into a egg pretty well. I’ve recorded a little video how he goes from dragon to egg. You can find it here. It does feel a little weird when you are actively stuffing something into itself. But it’s a lot of fun to be able to actually do it and then put the little loop around the orange button and have a completed egg or dragon.

Its belly, scritch-time!
The pattern has different options for horns, wings and different types of spikes. I chose to mainly do the spiky spikes and pointy horns. The dragon wings where the most obvious option for me as I didn’t really think butterfly wings were appropriate in this specific case. I think I want to make another one of these for me, but perhaps not yet. Need to first empty out the bin of plushies some way or another.
