I’m so excited because I have been invited by Kristin and Beth from Sew Mama Sew to be a part of their blog series on SOFTIES, obviously this is right up MY alley!
I was more than happy to design a FREE soft toy pattern as my contribution and immediately got to work… I have been asked by soooo many people for a sewing pattern for an elephant with it’s trunk UP so that’s what I decided to design. I had so much fun making my toy elephant,

I had to make TWO!

My FREE elephant sewing pattern and photo tutorial is going to be available as part of the 6 Weeks of LOVE for Softies on Sew Mama Sew.

Yeeeeeeeeeehar!
