So, with tons of friends having babies and lots of kids all around, I thought I'd share the sewing that I've been up to recently as my Make-It Monday post today. I came across a couple of patterns for stuffed animals at Magical Scraps (amazing fabric/kids items store in Breckenridge) by Valori Wells from Stitchin' Post and couldn't resist getting Elsa the Elephant and Leonardo the Lion! Here are some pictures of the steps in making the Elephant. The pattern was very easy to follow and it's a good project for a beginning sewer. Basically, cut out the shape, sew the edges with a seam allowance, turn and stuff, then close it up! I can't wait to share Leonardo the Lion with you next week! Until then, go visit Valori's site to order the patterns! (I'm currently swooning over Prudence and Henry, a giant owl and oversized elephant!)
