Hand-Stitched Dinosaur

The second I saw this kit by ThreadFollower at A Child's Dream, I knew my kids would love it. I purchased the Brontosaurus Kit (featured here today) and the Bunny Kit (featured on A Child's Dream channel). The kit is fantastic! It comes with everything you need to make a super adorable stuffed animal. You can squeeze two projects out of the kit with just one spare piece of green felt which I had on hand.

I made one dinosaur for my daughter and as a sample for my 10-year-old son. I also made a lot of mistakes! But now I know, and hopefully this video tutorial will help you avoid the mistakes I made.

The kit comes with a pattern you cut out, high quality embroidery thread, a needle, three pieces of wool felt and wool batting. It's all packaged in a beautiful box with color print of final project as well as detailed directions.

The brontosaurus kit is a Level 2 kit intended for ages 10 and up and up and up ;)

This project took me almost 2 hours whereas my son's took about an hour. Though his is less precise, it turned out just as nice and most importantly, he loves it! As I write this, my 6-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son are playing with their stuffed dinosaurs.

I made a number of mistakes with this projects, and some of them I caught in time to explain what to do in the video and others I didn't! For instance, when sewing the legs together, knot the thread on the outside of the felt, not the inside as I showed in the video because you will be turning that piece out and the knot will end up showing on the outside.
