Elephant Softie from Six Months of Softies

March 16, 2013

Wendi's Elephant
Happy weekend to you!  I just finished sewing the first pattern from Six Months of Softies and I had to show it to you! This is Polly. The baby is in love with her…

…has made off with her…

Baby and elephant

…and refuses to give her back.

I can't say I blame her!  Wendi has done an outstanding job with this design. He's big and squishy, like a pillow.

This pattern is the first of six brand new designs from six indie softie designers. I'm finding it incredibly enjoyable to sew these one by one, and I've already learned a smart trick for neatly attaching footpads from Wendi's pattern.
