Stuffed Elephant Toys And I Won A Giveaway

By -
Hello everyone,
Look what I've made! Two very cute stuffed elephant toys for my DS :-) 
 
 
Pattern     : free elephant toy pattern from stitchcraftcreate.co.uk
Materials : I used two fabric scraps from stash - both of them are printed cotton, fusible interfacing for the ears, polyester stuffing, buttons for the eyes and threads.
The sewing process is very fast and enjoyable, I did two of them in two hours. The only tricky part is hand sewn the elephant body but the rest is so easy.
Here is a picture of my sewing in progress,
a. My fabrics after cutting
b. Sew  all the edges according to the instructions
c. Turn it inside out
d. Stuffed with polyester stuffing and ready for hand sewing the opening area, done!

More pictures of the final project,


And I have a very good news that I want to share with you all, I won a giveaway from Sew Melodic - Thank you so much Melody Murdock, I will make some pretty garments from the pattern :-)
