I want to make your Toothless for my step son, but I want to double it's size. How do I do that?

There is no seam allowance in the pattern, so you just print at 200% (of course you need bigger paper for it)

What kind of fabric did you use for this wonderful plush? I have a nice wool blend lying aroundΒ I considered using.

Aw cute. Must find time to try this pattern out. Not sewn in a whileΒ‘

That's so cute! Who knows, I might try and make one when I got time.
May I ask what kind of fabric you've used? Just curious

It looks like it's poseable. What parts of it have wire, if any?
π: 0 β©: 1
None of them. No wire at all.
It's filled with a kind of nylon fibre cotton... stuff.
Makes it rigid but, you can squeeze it to remove the filling temporarily, allowing you to change the pose.

Awesome! Thanks also for the patterns, planning on making one for one of my friends.

He is absolutely adorable, I'd love to try my hand at this. How many yatds/meters of material did you have to get?
π: 0 β©: 1
about Β½m x 1.5m
That's 0.75m^2
not much, at all.

Cool, thank you. I cannot wait to get started on it. I may have to contact you again during the course of making it, my knowledge of textiles and sewing is pretty limited.

Mine too. This is my first real sewing craft.
A tip for sewing the head:
When it's done, tie a thread between the innermost parts of the eyes (closest to the nose)back and forth a couple of times (on the inside of the head). This will make them sink a bit into the head so it looks less round/inflated.

Thank you ^_^ Ill try that

You're welcome.
And good luck. If in doubt, do what you feel makes sense.
Always question the recipe!

I really like his stance because he looks like he's about to take flight 
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, he is.
If you get around to it, I wish you good luck
You're gonna need it.
If, however you want to make it a bit easier for yourself, steal Nooby-banana's pattern for the head:

Ok thank you

You're welcome

Unfortunately not. This one's mine.
If it was for sale it would be expensive beyond what's fair :/
I'm sorry.

It's ok, thanks any way.

You're welcome. $100 pus materials and shipping for a made-from-scratch plush commission is quite common, I believe. Instead, do you have any relatives who are good with a sewing machine?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope no one in my family is good with one.

Aaaaaah! This is adorable. I have a friend who is using your patterns to make one of these for Otakon with his Hiccup cosplay. You are awesome for this. ^-^

Why, thanks
Tell him/her hello and good luck from me
If they would ever need advice on the pattern, they can write me anytime.

Wow, your Toothless-plushie is really amazing! 
I'm thinking to make one using your pattern, but I have a few questions:
What fabric did you use for this one?
Do I have to use the same fabric to get a good result, or can I use for example some old jeans and still get a nice and cuddly Toothless?
π: 0 β©: 1
I used black fleece - which is (i learned) a dust and hair magnet.
I believe denim/jeans fabric would work just as well - and probably allow for a cuddly dragon without having to clean it all the time.
Denim does come with the downside, that it's rougher and possibly harder to work with. Also, be aware that denim often has two different sides when you cut out your pieces - always have the darker side on the outside of your dragon.
If you encounter any issues or have any questions, feel free to write again

Quick question before I start, did you use poly-pellets for the feet, and another question, how did you make the eyes? :3
π: 0 β©: 1
1: no. It all synthetic micro-fiber stuffing.
2: Eyes: black piece of fabric on top of yellow piece of fabric with a narrow zig-zag seam to bind the pieces together.
Also - add an inch to the tail - it'll look a bit closer to Toothless, once finished. Having a large seam margin on the hind legs will also allow you to experiment a bit with the length of those limbs.
Good luck.

Thank you very much
No, unfortunately, I don't have any pictures... I did make some drawings explaining the hard parts, but basically, you can usually use the tutorials for the other patterns - the method is very similar.
The main differences are:
1) I cut a long hole in the body to add the wings and hind-fins - those are put into the holes and sewn on the inside. The thick "arm" parts of the wings are hand-sewn on the inside of the body in the same manner as the limbs.
2) The head is made from fewer pieces - but my pictures should show you pretty much how. The underside of the "tentacles/ears" connecting with the neck and the rest of the body was the last seam, I made - it's completely hidden underneath the ears.
3) Tips: Make the tail slightly longer - mine got a bit stumpy/short because of a sewing mistake, I made (It *is* my first real sewing project) - also, don't be afraid of making the ears too large - they'll end up much smaller than the pattern suggests. In fact, making them slightly larger than in the pattern will give you better-looking ears.
Good luck.
