I just did this entire project by hand as my second sewing project ever. A little daunting (I can’t afford a machine right now) but it turned out really cute! I think the most important part is really sticking to that 5mm seam allowance. Thank you for your thorough instructions! I’ll definitely be looking at your Etsy as I look for new patterns!

I haven't stuffed the elephant yet, bare that in mind while reading this. I increased the seam allowace a little less than double 5mil. The only place it caused issues was the ears, with the little divvit under them being quite a bit larger than it looked in the video. I used slightly-felted probably-cotton fairly-thin fabrics for it, and the divvit probably looks more prominant because of the thinner, less fluffy fabric. But for my first machine stuffy project, it's quite cute! The ears are slightly lopsided as I tried to fix the divvit by moving them up, but that just adds to the charm :D! (It also did not fix the divvit, by the way. It made it worse. I don't really mind though :] )

What grain line does the elephant need to be cut on? Does it matter?

@RedRockingBird 4 ай бұрын

I never worry about this too much as I more likely just use up my scraps!!! But parts cut parallel to the grain should not stretch out of shape when stuffed.

@harcoonlove4291 4 ай бұрын

@RedRockingBird Okay, thank you! I just finished sewing the body of my first one not even an hour ago! I cut it so the stretch was from trunk to tail. I think that works just fine so far. I don't have the stuffing for it yet, so it isn't finished finished, but I'm very happy with how it's come out so far! It's pink with light pink ears and underbelly, and I'm using this first try for practice so I can make one for my grandma! (She l o v e s elephants :3).

Hi! I have a question: how do you make a elephant without that white fabric? 🥰

@RedRockingBird 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, do you just not want to make it white? Then do it all the same colour. If you don’t want to insert that underbelly piece then you can leave it out and make more of an elephant pillow with 2 legs?? Does that help? Or do you mean something else? Thanks, Sarah

Do you mean what is a seam allowance?? A seam allowance is the area between the fabric edge and the sew line on two pieces of material being sewn together.
