Overview
Make a Michaelmas Dragon for storytelling, to display in your seasonal table, and for everyday play!
This project is a challenging one! It is not *difficult* but requires you to embrace *slowness*.
There are many pattern pieces, lots of sewing, many steps...and will take you several days to make it.
The result is SO WORTH IT! An heirloom quality dragon to enjoy for years to come.
Make a Dollhouse Doll or Standing Puppet Knight and a sword and shield! How about a cave??
