Here she is sewn all together, before stuffing
One thing I will do differently next time I make one of these
Make the trunk a bit bigger
This was almost too thin to turn

| Left side |
I might also pay more attention to where the ears are placed
Because they will obscure some of your stitching
 |
| Pink silk bottom |
I did add a lozenge shaped panel to the bottom once she was stuffed
Don't forget to clip the corners!
 |
| top back |
Over all I am quite pleased at how she turned out
 |
| Front |
You also may want to couch down any long stitches a bit more if tyour critter of choice will be handled a lot.
That spider web might get snagged at some point
Here she is all put together with ears and everything!

| Oops, she still needs a tail! |
 |
| Peek-A-Boo! |

| I see you! |
She is beautiful!!!! I am partial to elephants, having collected them in various forms for more years than I care to say. I just might have to make one for myself one day, maybe a companion for Flora the Crazy Quilt Bear I made a few years ago. Love seeing what you are stitching!
ReplyDeleteEllie is way cute! Excellent job, Flora!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteLove her, I missed the earlier part, you drew and designed her all yourself? Did you tell how big she is?
ReplyDeleteThe only designing I did was the crazyquilting and embellishments on a pattern I got from bustle and sew, Ellie is a bitty elephant at 9"x 4"(Plus ears)x 7"tall The pattern I used for her was "Flora the elephant" a free pattern
