Image includes pattern shapes for a dragon-shaped pin cushion. It tells how many pieces to cut out for each shape, and whether to use print or solid fabric. Overlay says, "ChellyWood.com: Free printable sewing patterns." — Visit ChellyWood.com for free, printable sewing patterns.

This is the first of two patterns you’ll need, in order to make the dragon pin cushion I posted yesterday. This link will take you to the first pattern’s download page. Below is the second pattern:

Here’s the link to the page where you can download that pattern as well. These are re-posts, but as I have said before, with Christmas inching ever closer, I thought it would be wise to post a few craft projects that you could work on, to give as gifts for friends and family. If you know anyone who sews and loves fairy tales, or someone who sews and plays medieval video games, this could be a fun gift for him or her.

Tomorrow I’ll post the tutorial showing how to make this dragon pincushion.

If you’re searching for a different pattern, have a look at the Gallery Page. That’s the easiest way to search through all of my patterns to find what you want. Each image on the Gallery Page takes you to links for patterns and tutorials.

Need help printing my patterns? This link will take you to a tutorial showing you how to download my free, printable patterns.

Please note: you must enlarge the pattern to fit a full-sized piece of American computer paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 216 x 279 mm) before printing. My designs use a 1/4 inch seam (standard for fashion doll sewing projects).

When you print my patterns, it’s always friendly and kind to like it on FB, tweet about it, and/or pin it to your Pinterest page.

If you’re wondering why I make patterns and videos without charging a fee, please visit the “Chelly’s Books” page, and that should explain my general motivations.

In case you haven’t heard, I have also designed commercial patterns for Lammily LLC. They have some new dolls in their line, including a new male doll, so you might want to visit the Lammily website to see what they’ve got going on.

I’ve also got a series of tutorials for the beginning sewists on my YouTube channel. It includes video tutorials showing you how to do a basic straight stitch when sewing by hand, how to gather fabric, how to use the whipstitch to hem a garment, how to sew on snaps, and even how to design your own doll clothes patterns, just like I do!
