That is some serious sewing, you did good.

Thanks chuck. I finished up at the head, saddle stitching the sides to the underbelly and I use long needles.

I was just reading threw. Really like the dino pencil case. Very cool. And you say your wanting to do a backpack that he can use even when hes a little older as well. Why couldn't you rescale the pencil case pattern to make it alot bigger? And where the belly of dino  meets the sides that transition could be made out for the zipper more like a backpack zipper works across the top. And you can incorporate the 4 legs into the straps. Hopefully this idea will help.

And you can incorporate the 4 legs into the straps.    :: A while back someone posted a face mask with what looked like wrap around bony fingers.  I had a vision of your dino legs wrapping a few inches further from the pack to up the wearers shoulder and up to mid waist....on the side of the hip.  Being grabbed by the dino...    oh well, it's all in my mind.  

God bless

Thanks guys, an interesting idea and I like it. It would certainly be easier to sew. Thing is I was thinking of something he would wear to school for years. Don't think  you could make him go to school with a dino on his back at 9/10. Of course I suppose I could make two. I do like the idea of scaling it up.

His mum sent a short video yesterday of him opening the parcel and another this morning showing him waking up with it in the bed. He'd slept with it. I wanted to show you guys the video but although very short it's over 3mb and I don't know how to shorten it.
