If you are using a sewing machine be sure to use a stretch stitch! The one that looks like a zig zag or a triple straight stitch.Use a 1/2″ seam allowance unless advised otherwise.A walking foot makes it much easier to sew this project, which feeds the top and the bottom, keeping it all even, and a serger makes the construction faster but is not necessary.I used microtex needles for this thin, stretchy fabric.I broke these into 3 different parts wings, spikes, and tail!.I used a free kid’s pattern from Bella Sunshine Designs, join their Facebook group and check the announcements for the free code/link to download your own. Step 1-Create a wing pattern! I marked where the cuffs met on the body and the sleeves, then free-handed in between those. You’ll then want to draw a seam allowance (the area you’ll be sewing and then trimming) around the shape you want for your wing. Lay it on the fashion fabric (this is NOT felt, it is just the wrong side of the scale fabric) and cut two, mirrored.
Layer the pattern pieces right sides together and pin, you will sew with 1/2″ seam allowance all the way around leaving a 4″ open gap at the short, straight end. Step 3- Trim down the seam allowance and cut off the corner tips outside the stitching line. Pull the wings right side out, poking out the points, and pin all the way around. Sew with a 1/4″ seam allowance, which will help define the wings and close the gap. Step 4- Sew on some gems! I bought these in store at JOANN but couldn’t find the exact ones online. Step 5- Sew the wing on! I used a simple slip stitch and attached it to the seam allowance of the arm & bodice. Pay attention the direction of the scales if you care that they look the same! Just match it up with the edges of their hoodie. Step 1– Cut! Cut & sew leggings according to the pattern. Cut 2 scale fabric pieces, from the large spike pattern, for each spike you want to use (my 4t hoodie used 7 spikes) and then 2 felt pieces, from the small spike pattern, to correlate with each spike. Step 2– Use your scissors to trim down the seam allowance and cut small notches to make the curve super smooth. Step 3– Turn the spike right side out, poke the top out gently, and slide a stack of 2 felt smaller spikes inside. Use a long basting stitch to secure the bottom and keep it all even.
Step 4- Place your spikes along the hood to determine placing and then use your seam ripper to rip out the center seam far enough so the main scale can slide in. This shows about how far to slide it in, roughly 2″ deep. Step 5: Sew the openings back together! Just like a sandwich with the spikes in the middle, sew along the edges.
