Description
Part 2: [link]Alright! Here's the first part of my Toothless plush tutorial! I'm already working on part 4 of the tutorial, so it's gonna be a big one. But it covers every step you need to make a Toothless plush! You're welcome to make some modifications to it if you want, as long as you give me credit for the base pattern.
This part only covers materials and how to piece the pattern pieces together. The links to the pattern pieces will be provided with each part of the tutorial as they are needed.

I actually made Toothless from this pattern, two or three years ago, but I just realised that I never uploaded some pictures. I just remembered because I had to reopen him this weekend to change the filling (my fault, not the pattern's) and now I have to finish the prosthetic fin (I made the red one, and I have to draw on the skull design yet) but I guess I will upload some pictures of my Toothless soon!
The tutorial was very easy to follow, even for a sewing-novice like me, and the end result is just sooo lovely and cuddly!
Thank you (belatedly) for the tutorial and the pattern!

Where can I get the pattern itself? I have no idea where to look...

Oooh... I was trying to figure out the seam allowance, and I just found the comment saying it's 1/4" and you have to add it to the pattern. Drat. I already cut the pieces for the head. :/
Besides that, it's an adorable little pattern, and not too difficult!

Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial.Β I'm looking forward to giving this a try.Β One part of the tutorial I don't see in the patterns is Β the pattern for theΒ claws.Β I can't find that shape anywhere.Β I printed out all 5 pattern pages and don't see it.Β Also when I print the pattern out on computer paper is that the proper size for the pieces?Β Thanks so much for this and sorry for the questions, I'm not very experienced at sewing.

Hi Guys, probably a really stupid question but when you draw on the patterns to cut the fabric, are you marking on the inside or the outside? I'm using faux fur and don't know if I need to flip the paper or not before tracing?

I really don't get the wing veins, the tutorial is really good but... Help? *thanks for the patterns and everything*
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh hey! I did this sewing project a few years back and I think I can help you with the veins. (That's if you still even need the help. XD)
Once you sew the two sides of the membrane together, just pinch a clean line from the top of the wing (the point where it shows all the veins are gathered) to the wing point and sew. Make sure the pinched side is on the bottom of the wing.

You're most welcome!! Glad I could be of some help. ;D

Thank you! Awesome pattern! I'm going to make it for my lil sister for Christmas.

Do you have to cut the fabric exactly the size of the pattern, or does it have to be a little bit bigger, because of turning right side out? thank you!

Β i am so confused because Β of the head pieces ...they dont really seem to fit together. HELP :'D
i think i am doing something wrong ._.

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial! Β I've made a couple minor changes for my version of your plush. Β I added another "finger" to the end of the wings b/c in the movies Toothless has six of them in his wings, and I'm changing how the wings attach to the body. Β I'll send you a link once I finish!

By the way, I wanted to let you know I finished making mine. Β Here he is.

What are the dementions. How big should i make each piece? Feet, Inches?

Thanks so much for the post! Toothless is my daughter's FAVORITE dragon and I just know she'd snuggle this one to death! (Lol, she's 2 and this will be bigger then her!)

Thank you so much for posting this! A fairly easy pattern to follow if you know your way around sewing. I changed the claws, eyes, and prosthetic tail to make them slightly easier, but seriously, it's great!

I know this question has been asked a couple times, and it may just be because I'm on a tablet that I can't see it, but is there a link or download for the actual pattern part? I'm sure there is, I just can't find it and would appreciate some help π

How long would you say it turns out from head to tail? I want to make a 25 inch long one for a friend and want to know if I can use the materials list or if I need to calculate new amounts and enlarge the pattern
π: 0 β©: 1
For that size, I would buy about 2 yards or so.

become this Β pattern the same as your toothless plush Β ?

I just got everything to make one! But I am a bit confused still with how to resize the patterns. Some of them don't say that they're scaled to 73% but those that aren't are perfect sized for the toothless I want to make. So how do I resize them? I don't have Microsoft word and when I stretched it in wordpad all it did was distort it and I didn't know how to make sure that the other pieces would be the same...
Can I just put each picture and rescale them all to the same size? Or is anybody able to explain what I am supposed to do?

I don't have word either, when I downloaded the images I saved them as jpg's and had my printer setting resize them to fit the page when they printed.Β I am not sure if they came out too small or too big as I do need a bit more then 2 yard of fabric, but all and all that worked well for me.Β I hope this helps good luck!!

Hmmm ok. Thanks! Yea my mom doesn't know a whole lot about sewing this kind of project but when I right clicked on the picture and printed from there she said they were out of proportion and that I'd have to adjust most of them so I threw them away and will try again.

I LOVE this, its helped me so much!! thank you

I was so very sad when the Build-a-bear toothless ran out of stock, it won't be back until next fall! And then I found out the next best thing, the t-shirt from Hot Topic, just sold out too!Β
Β
But, I'm keeping my hopes up, 'cause I still want some HTTYD merchandise... Thank you very much for posting this! <3 (I agree, the official plushies are not very cute at all...)

Your tutorial is great! I gotta try this once I get darker fabric!Β
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm going to try my hand at this.
I'm assuming that the pieces are printed to A4 paper?
Also I know you said no felt, but what about using it for the prosthetic tailfin?

Hi

Of course I'll link it to your page

hello, i'm working on this parting, do you have a link for the wings, belly and body?
π: 0 β©: 0
May I ask what kind of fabric you used for his eyes? Or is that in the pattern instructions? I haven't had a chance to go over them yet so if it is in them sorry XD I can be very stupid sometimes

Those store bought ones are oh so very ugly DX WHY? Oh and thank you so much for puttingΒ this on here, hopefully I will be able to convince my mother to help my with it

Wooah this is really great and awesome.
I think I have to buy some black fabric and sew a little Toothless for me.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful pattern. Β

Awesome idea. Β If I can convince my wife, we'll so be doing this. Β
You mention Katy-A's tutorial for the eyes. Β Is that a username here on DA or something else as you have no address or link to it. Β

I'd stitch by hand. It helps more and helps to make it you're own. Machienes are OK, but have no accurate usage. By hand takes more time, but it's worth it. :3

do you need a sewing machine to do this or can you stitch by hand?

This is probably a silly question..but how do I get the pattern for printing? Do I copy it from this and cut in the computer so it fits onto a piece of paper to print out, or do I have to go to a different post of yours for the pattern? Sorry for the silly question I just want to make sure my plush looks as wonderful as yours!
