I added an eyeball area to create a more animated face and sewed that onto the head top.
#TICK TOCK CROC TOY FULL#
Then stuff them until they are full as you'd like. I cut teeth out of fleece and sandwich them between the pink and green head to sew. I sewed the edges of the green like a pin tuck where I folded the paper on the wrong side of the fabric. I folded the paper pattern where I wanted the jaw to wrap down and made the pattern for the pink from the inside of the folded paper.
It didn't turn out exactly right but looked great enough. You can always make it smaller later.Ĭut the top out in the dark green fabric and do the same for the bottom of the jaw.I chose to scallop the edges of the jaw, attempting to make it similar to a real crocodile. This is where the holes for the child's legs will go so you will want a lot extra. Make the bottom jaw larger with a longer green neck area. You will have two separate pieces that mirror each other but are different sizes. Paying attention to the proportions is really important here. The first thing I did was sketch a pattern shape of what I thought the crocodile head should be. Then I stuffed the body until it was full and taut. I did three rows that went all the way to the end of the tail.Īfter the details are done on the dark green I sewed the light and dark green together with right sides together. You can place these where ever you'd like, and add more if you want. When you turn the fabric upright the spikes will stick straight up. You take the dark green body pieces and sandwich the triangles between the right sides of the fabric with the triangles facing inside. Then I cut the dark green body where I wanted the triangle spikes to be placed. Take these strips and cut triangles out of the fleece on the top half of the strip. Next I cut 3, 1.5 inch wide 6 feet long(as long as the body) strips of the dark green fabric. Using my sewing machine I sewed straight lines an inch or so apart along the entire length of the dark green fabric top. After I cut the pieces out, the next step was to do the body details. I wanted the dark green body to be larger than the light green. I chose to make the dark piece an inch wider, so I cut an inch away from the pattern. I used this as a pattern.Ĭut one dark green body piece and one light green body piece. The first thing I did was draw a general crocodile shape onto wrapping paper.
