🧵 How to Make Your Dino Tooth Fairy Pillow
This design is part of my Easy Stitch range — meaning it’s beginner-friendly and fun for all ages. Here’s a quick overview of how it comes together (your full illustrated instructions are included with your download):
-
Cut Out Your Pieces – Use your cutting machine and the SVG file to cut your faux leather pieces. The design includes pre-cut stitch holes for easy hand sewing. If you prefer to machine stitch or glue, use the no-hole version included in your files. Always do a small test cut first to ensure your settings suit your material.
-
Sew the Features – Start by stitching on the little details: eyes, cheek, teeth, and the front pocket for the tooth.
-
Add the Hands – Use a straight stitch and leave the edges free — they’ll get caught when you sew around the body later.
-
Assemble Your Dino – Sew around the outer edge, adding the spikes as you go. Leave a small gap for stuffing.
-
Stuff and Stitch – Add polyfill until your dino looks plump and even, then close the gap.
-
Finishing Touches – Add a ribbon loop if you’d like it to hang, and some heat-transfer vinyl (HTV) for a custom touch.
Once your dino is finished, print the included Tooth Fairy Certificate and Poem, and you’re ready for the big visit from the fairy herself!
