I think I sewed myself out, though, with stockings and soft books, so I just now got the motivation to finish it. I was going to go the whole nine yards and get fabric and everything, but I found a nice soft blanket with satin edging at Ross for a good price and decided to save myself some steps.
I cut the dragon apart to make a "body" out of the blanket.
At first, I attempted to use the sewing machine. Unfortunately that just resulted in a broken needle, so I had to abandon the machine in favor of sewing by hand. It worked well though. The type of materials the blanket and dragon are made from do not show the thread (which is good since it doesn't really match).
Eventually I'll learn to edit my photos to take out all the background garbage...but that day is not today. Hopefully my little dragon will like his little blanket!
This is just precious! I love it!! I hope to one day soon learn how to sew an operate a sewing machine! =) Yes, it's sad that I cannot even sew on a button and have to ask my hubby to do it!
