Tips for a Classic Dragon
The classic dragon needs three things: spikes along the back, little wings and a tail with a pointed tip. Work the spikes as a strip of triangles sewn along the spine. Keep the body chubby and the head big for cute over fierce. Small nostril embroidery and a smile make this dragon a friend, not a monster.
