The pacifier dragon is a friend to love – in all walks of life. Subtle and puzzled out as it is, it may be a pacifier holder, a toy, a stuffed animal and a crackling and burp cloth in one.
His back spikes stimulate babies to look at and feel. Rustling foil in the feet make babies pay attention. Cheesecloth on the belly make the dragon also serve as a burp cloth just in case. And the ribbon on the tail end can be closed so that the pacifier can be hold or buttoned to the stroller even prevented from sneaking away.
And the best part: It is your choice how your dragon will look like. With this detailed tutorial you can sew with a little experience your favorite dragon quite easily yourself.

Do you know this feeling when something special is created under your hands? Then it tingles in the tummy and a smile appears in your face. Especially when its one of a kind!
Because I love this feeling, I design sewing instructions in my little sewing studio. The ideas for my pieces come to me in my everyday life. Sometimes it is s a wild dragon, sometimes a practical changing bag and another time a buggy garland hops of my sewing machine. Only when working the refinements mature. If everything fits, I develop the tutorial. Step by step, I explain every detail, give additional tips and encourage variations. Numerous photos and a lovly design make each tutorial special.
