Elephant

This one is a bit more of a challenging one if you feel like stretching yourself.

You need
- Material  - 1 meter should be plenty
- A sewing machine ( you could do it by hand)
- Buttons for eyes.
- Stuffing
- The pattern also calls for interlining but I chose to make mine without as I wanted floppy ears.

I got the pattern from this site.

I found the instructions a little bit too broad for my basic sewing skills to have added some more below.

Cut out the material as per the instructions.  Make your ears and tail as per instructions.




Sew your legs to the body, turn right side out then sew the two short leg parts together (to make the under carriage of the elephant)



- Then place the two body parts back to back and place the tail between them and sew along the back.



Sew the two head pieces together and turn right side out.


This next part I found to be the trickiest.  Pin the ears into place against the body and then pin the heat to the body and sew around leaving a small gap at the bottom to put the stuffing in.



Finally fill your Elephant with stuffing, sew up the hole and sew on two button eyes and you are done.
