Step-by-Step: How to Sew a Dinosaur Tail

Step 1 – Cut Your Fabric

Place your pattern pieces on the fleece fabric and cut out the tail shape. Cut spikes from a contrasting fabric for a more playful look.

Step 2 – Prepare the Spikes

Sew the spikes right sides together, turn them out. Arrange the spikes along one side of the tail. You can baste or pin them in place to keep everything aligned while sewing.

Step 3 – Sew the Tail

Place the two tail pieces right sides together, sandwiching the spikes in between. Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing.

Step 4 – Sew the waist bands
Sew the waist bands and baste them in the middle of the tail. Pin the tail back circle and sew all around.

Step 5 – Turn and Stuff

Turn the tail right side out through the opening. Gently push out the curves and corners, then fill the tail with stuffing until it reaches your desired shape.

Step 5 – Close and Finish

Close the opening with a invisible stitch by hand.
