stuffed elephant

After I made this contoured changing pad cover (see post from June 2013), I had the idea to make a stuffed animal with the leftover fabric. 

 

I traced out a pattern for an elephant, and sewed the right sides together (attaching the ears first, of course) until I reached the lower half.  I then sewed on the belly and inside of the legs in a different fabric. 

I also made a stuffed hippo with the leftover fabric from the blue changing pad cover, but it's not quite finished yet.  Plus, I like the elephant better! 

 

changing pad cover and crib sheet

Because I’m posting this while out of town, I’m going to keep it short and sweet.  These are the changing pad cover and crib sheets I made for my youngest.  Most of the things I've made for his room are gray, because you can't find that color (yet) in baby things.

The tutorials are here and here.
