It’s Just The Right Time To Make A Patchwork Elephant

A Keepsake To Make from Outgrown Baby Clothes

Elephants have always been a favorite and not just for kids and this one is sure to become a cherished keepsake. Perfect for turning loved ones’ clothing or outgrown baby clothes into a cuddly memory toy.

 

Bring out favorite scraps with small flowery prints, mixed and matched in all sorts of summery colors for a jolly greeting. A sturdy 10 inch fellow to display prints or solids alike. Sew a unique elephant plush, whether it’s for a nursery, a heartfelt gift, or your own collection.

Add the elephant to a baby quilt project, and when complete will make a charming set. Left overs can be put together to make up the matching addition, and is sure to be treasured long after.

Use any of the three different style trunks included in the pattern. Choose the Curly trunk, low trunk or raised trunk, or all three to display a trio.  Buttons for the eyes can be substituted for stitching as a safety precaution for little ones.

The pattern from Ric Rac Sews is ready for download, and along with your bag of scraps, provides a ton of patchwork fun. The pattern guides you through elephant construction and includes directions for making the patchwork version as well.

Choose your own fabrics, personalize every detail, and create a keepsake that’s truly one-of-a-kind. A scrappy patchwork creates a different expression for each one. No two are alike.
