Armie the Dragon/Flying Armadillo

I graduated from college 2 days ago and I have now made this dragon.
 I got the free pattern from:
http://www.wyrm.org.uk/cuddly/beanbag.pdf

I doubled the pattern when I printed it and did not make it into a bean bag.
All of the top pieces I did on gray fleece. With buttons for eyes
All of the bottom pieces I did with white fleece
I then added a red fleece ribbon for some color
Making a dragon for my first post works well with sewing there and back again... Bilbo's first adventure involved a dragon named Smaug....

It is a friendly dragon/flying armadillo which boyfriend named Armie for me.  He has his flaws but I'm happy.

Merry Christmas and Happy Sewing!

I got my first sewing machine for Christmas and I am really excited to learn how to sew.
It is a Janome 8050
This blog will be dedicated to my progress and projects in learning how to sew. I have done hand sewing before and I made a twin sized log cabin quilt... so I do have a tiny bit of experience.
I can't wait to learn something new and I will post as I work on and complete projects.
