Alrighty - I finished my baby shower gift for my good friend Brigitte who is expecting next month and I'm very excited to give it to her! Here are Elouise & Elmore, made from the same fabric patterns that she chose for making her baby's quilt (...or at least I think they are!).
Boy was it tricky getting the ears on these elephants. I kept accidentally sewing through one of the ears while the heads were inside-out, and then I'd have to spend 10 minutes with the seam ripper to undo the error. They took about six hours each to make from start to finish but were worth every ounce of effort.
I must say I'm getting tonnes of sewing practice this month which is great. In addition to Elouise and Elmore I'm making a red summer dress in my Intermediate sewing class and I'm helping to sew decorations for my friend's wedding in August. I hope I'm not in over my head!
