I started with the bodysuit. I used Jalie pattern 3135. It was a surprisingly easy sew! I measured my guy's torso before I started though, because he's cursed with his mommy's long torso. At 3 years old, I had to add 3" and really could have added another. CRAZY LONG CHILD! There's a crotch gusset thing (back with my technical terms you all love) was great for movement, but was VERY uncomfortable for him. I had to sew the seams down to add comfort. After I did that, he loved it.
His Mask was made using this Dragon mask pattern from Oxeye Daisey patterns. Her patterns are SO COOL and she is incredibly sweet. Buy all of her patterns. Seriously. Go do it. Anyway, I covered my felt with the scales fabric in order to keep it cohesive, so that added way more time to the project. But it was so incredibly worth it. I also used glitter foam and glitter sheets instead of felt...so more layers...so more time...and more blisters.
The Tail, gloves, wings, and breast plate were my own creations. I won't be doing a tutorial because I will never make them again. Nopety nope nope nope. They weren't hard, but they took forever and I got blisters on my fingers from all of the hand-stitching. My hands aren't dainty anymore! What the crap?!?! I need my dainty hands! They're the only dainty thing I have....er...had.
Also...yes, my son is covered in glitter. But it's manly glitter. And if you're my child, there will be glitter.
