Tip 3: The dragon is created with a straight body and tail first, and then at the end the end of the tail is sewn to the bottom of the head to create its lovely curled up position.
Tip 4: As you are sewing on all the different body parts to the head and body, curl the dragon up to check that you are happy with the positions you are sewing everything.
