About this pattern

Corinne Bradd’s thrifty elephant project is a great way use up remnants of fabric, and create a special friend for your little ones at the same time. Just remember if you are intending to make Nellie for tots, you’ll need to replace the buttons with embroidered eyes and sew the tail on securely to avoid it coming loose during playtime.

Essentials

  • Fabric: selection of coordinating printed cottons
  • Embroidery thread
  • Safety toy stuffing
  • Scrap paper
  • Small buttons

    Make an elephant

    1. From a selection of coordinating printed cottons, cut 81, 4.2cm squares. Lay out the shapes in an alternating pattern to create a panel eight squares in width and 10 squares long. This should leave you with one spare square, set this to one side.

    2. Stitch the arranged squares together with a 5mm seam allowance and press on reverse with an iron. Using the template cut out two elephant patterns from scrap paper. Now pin them to the pat
