Meet Jerry! The most precious little dinosaur, now in plush-form!
My only experience in sewing was watching my mom machine sew many dresses and costumes for us growing up, so he's not identical to the game version, BUT for my very first sewing project he's still pretty cute!
I downloaded and printed a pre-existing pattern of a basic dragon plush, and spent roughly a week and a half after work every day. The first 4 days were spent on the head alone, trying to figure out how to go from a standard rounded head, to include the pointed head like it does in-game. Those 4 days were a LOT of trial and error by sewing what I thought would work for the correct head shape, it not working out and having to start over. I also had to change the pattern of the limbs, the belly and come up with the eyes from scratch buuutt he's finished and he's thriving. I don't own a sewing machine so Jerry is 100% handsewn.
He should have been a little chunkier but we love Jerry.
