Happy Holidays, Pirate Friends! We are excitedly back for another year and another round of holiday freebies to share with you! Since 2016, we’ve compiled different tutorials and patterns that we think would make *perfect* gifts for your friends and family. Curious about what we’ve already released in the way of holiday freebies? Head right here to see all of them: Holiday Freebies Roundup.
Today, we are bringing you the: Dino Nuggest Plushies!
I have this very strong feeling that we are going to be seeing a ton of these cuties sewn up for gifts this holiday season! Well…and beyond. Because Dino Nugget Plushies have no season to them — they’re just always incredibly adorable! This pattern includes all five of the classic dino chicken nugget shapes: Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brontosaurus, Pterodactyl, and Triceratops.
Make one, or make them all! They’re bound to be loved no matter what.
Fabric Requirements / Recommendations: Sherpa or Fleece fabric. Each dino takes 1/3 yard. If you’re making all shapes, you can get them all out of 1 1/4 yards.

TUTORIAL:
Cut out all of your pieces. You’ll need:
- 2 Dino shapes, cut in mirror image
- Fiber Fill (or other preferred filling)
With right sides together, sew around entire outer edge with 1/2″ seam allowance, making sure to leave a 3-4″ opening for turning.
Be sure to take the full seam allowance at all of the corners and curves.
Carefully clip into the corners, making sure not to cut through your stitches.
Using the opening we left in the previous step, turn the dino right sides out.
Stuff with filling. Make sure not to overstuff, and to get all of the legs and tails and parts filled with stuffing equally.
Pin/clip and hand stitch the opening shut, using your favorite method.
Your first dino nugget is complete! Call it a day and snuggle this one — or go make the other four for a complete set!
In case you consider yourself a more “visual learner” here’s a video tutorial that walks you through the entire tutorial, start-to-finish.
Before you go, take a look at these ADORABLE Dino Nugget Plushies that our amazing tester team created!
I la-la-love when you share your photos with me! Head over to the Patterns for Pirates Facebook Group and show us what you’ve made!
Happy Holidays, Pirates!
