Daphne the Toy Dragon

Daphne's name was chosen by some of our lovely members! She's a stunning pink dragon who's ready for any high-flying adventure.

Meet Daphne the dragon! She's a friendly dragon who loves to play, so I'm sure she'd like some different-coloured friends! If you wanted to, you could leave off the wings, and you have a dinosaur!

Finished size: 24 x 14 x 7in (61 x 35.5 x 18cm)

Note: Use a ¼in (5mm) seam allowance throughout.
