I found some fab dinosaur fat quarters in my local Hobbycraft and I knew I wanted to make something fun for my daughter.
This is a printable pattern, and some pieces have to be taped together as they're larger than A4. The instructions for this, and for cutting the fabric are all clear and simple.
I made the smallest size, which the pattern says should be 6-12mo, 18" circumference. I think it might run a little small, but it's possible that my printouts were a little smaller than they should have been. The pattern is written with very generous ½inch seam allowances, which are then trimmed; I'd prefer ¼inch seam allowances personally.
I also changed the method a little, as I am not a fan of hand sewing. Instead of hand sewing the second crown on, I machine sewed it inside out, and turned through a small gap which I then hand-sewed. I also had a few tension issues with my machine so I didn't do multiple rows of stitching around the brim.
