Dinosaur Tag Toy

Making a tag toy in the shape of a dinosaur for a little one.

With the friends’ spawn officially entering air-breathing life, time for a visit. One cannot show up empty handed, so I sewed a little gift. Found this project and decided that would do. Not only was it a dinosaur, but apparently tag-things are much fun for tiny humans or something. So I printed the pattern and got out some of the leftovers of making owl pajamas many years ago. I definitely don’t keep leftovers in my hoard for too long, nooooooo. I also found some ribbon-bits from eons ago and set to work.

It’s very straightforward, just pin loops pointing to the dino tummy along the backside, and sew those down on the right side. Sew the other dino-side to the loopy-side while leaving a section open. Turn, stuff and sew the hole closed again. Easy peasy lemon-squeezy. It’s also funny how all the ribbons feel just slightly different. In conclusion, easy and quick project that was fun to make!
