Elephant sewing pattern

This is a paper sewing pattern to make an elephant. I have designed it to be perfect to make toys or keepsakes. It will look fabulous made in fur or fabric.

Your completed elephant will be 35cm tall when seated to the top of the ears, 28cm wide from side to side, and 21cm from front to back. When standing he or she will be 47cm tall.

*** Please note this a paper pattern that will be posted to you (uk only). If you would prefer an instant download they are also available in my shop ***

This pattern includes 5 pages of description with some photos of the more complex steps, and 5 pages of pattern pieces. There is a photo tutorial with EVERY step of this pattern at
www.cwtchandbloom.com/how-to-sew-edgar-the-elephant. Please note there is a video of how to sew the ears, but there is not a video of the full making of this pattern.

I have a Facebook group for makers of my patterns at Cwtch and Bloom Makers Club I would love you to join and show your completed makes, there is lots of support and tips to help you there too.

I will post your pattern to you in 1-2 business days. All my patterns are printed on recycled paper

Notions:

Fabric: 1/2 m will make the whole elephant.
To make the hands and feet a different colour you will need a piece of fabric 15cm across x 15cm tall
To make the ears in a different fabric you will need a piece 30cm across x 20cm tall
Ears: If you would like stiffer slightly plumper ears use iron on fleece 30cm across x 20cm tall
Interfacing: I have used a medium weight iron on woven cotton interfacing
Eyes: 18mm craft eyes
Buttons: 4 buttons. The ones I have used are 22mm wide
Dental tape or strong upholstery thread to attach the arms and legs and create the gathered section at the bottom of the elephant’s trunk
Doll needle to attach the arms and legs
Toy stuffing and a plastic chopstick, or something similar that is long with a blunt end, to insert the stuffing
Plus: pins, cotton thread that matches your fabric, hand sewing needles, scissors, plus pinking shears if you have them
