Plush dinosaur
He's top heavy. But I'm getting there.

    Very cute! Max would love this because he’s fascinated by zipping, but has a hard time getting the ends together at only three and a half. But this eliminates that step, and is combined with a dinosaur. Genius!

    OMG, love him! 3d construction & zippers boggle the mind. But I remember having a stuffed animal when I was little that had an invisible zipper on a belly seam & I would store my most prized stuff inside! Candy, hello kitty erasers, etc… Lol I would love to be able to sew a softie that has room for secrets.

    He’s really adorable–has a lot of personality! Can’t wait to see the final-final version (although I’d adopt this one if he needed a home–just sayin’)! 🙂

    I never would have a guessed a dinosaur from yesterday’s picture, but he is magnificent!

    Adorable! My son would totally love it if I made him something like that 🙂 I’ve been reading a library book called “do-it-yourself dinosaurs” but their patterns aren’t nearly as cute as this guy!

    Looking very very cute! I had an idea to make something like this, but knew I could never figure it out. You are just too too clever!

    Awesome! I love it! Hey, you could morph this into a big mouthed dinosaur (robot, alien, fish, etc.) and it could gobble up other little creatures and hold them inside it’s mouth – I was thinking of doing that with handles – something fun and carnivorous for my (all-boy) boys! (I’d do it, but I have NO CLUE about zippers – they totally scare me 🙂

    Too cute! The first thought I had was…’zip the lip’!
