supremely silly satinosaurus tutorial an upcycled DIY dino

According to my nearly three year old kidlet, bunnies are out & dinosaurs are all the rage nowadays, who knew?

Create a groovy dinosaur pal from an old satin cami with the simple yet supremely silly satinosaurus tutorial an upcycled DIY dino:

Raid your lingerie drawer & grab that never-worn satin cami.

*this one was the top from a PJ set that looked lovely online but turned out to be awkwardly backless…the bottoms were awesomely comfy & only needed shortening so the set was kept + I knew the top would come in handy some day.

onto the step-by-step:

Chop off the schnicky schnacky frou frou bits

add an eye to each cup, erm, side of the head

fold in half right-sides-facing

stitch together leaving one side open for turning & stuffing

give your almost a dino some fluffy filling & stitch up the open edge.

Create 4 legs from some coordinating scraps & snag 4 mid-sized buttons (I used the chopped bottoms from the shortened PJ pants).

Hand stitch the legs to each side (sewing straight through the button holes, into the body & out through the other button on the opposite side allows the legs to move back & forth).

Add some simple embroidered features & present it to your little dino-lover:
