Elephants
Let me start off by saying, I'm amazed at how fast the Sewing Stars Elephant went together. I took a bit of time at first to trace off the pattern pieces (I didn't want to lose any for future reference) and get everything initially cut (I was trying to keep the nap in the same direction, making sure I cut everything correctly since this was a kit and had a limited amount of fabric, etc.), but sewing it up went fairly quickly! I didn't even mind the amount of hand sewing that I had to do with this project (attaching the arms and head)..... 
In fact, I liked it so much, I made this one twice - one for each of my kiddos.... the original went to Taylor and the second (for soon to be born, Easton) I made using leftover minky dot fabric (from yesterday's blanket post) and scrap flannel from a burp cloth.
I think I'm now ready to concentrate on making some cute summer tops......any suggestions?

ohmygosh those are ADORABLE! I think it might be the little "I'm so tired!" under-eye lines that really do it for me, though!

Wow - you made TWO of them so quickly! Very impressive and very cute. Elephants apparently were my favorite stuffed animals when I was a tot.

I love the elephants. They look great.
I also love the name Easton! Unusual, I like that. Is it a family name?
