Your elephant is so adorable, thank you for sharing.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, I hope you give them a go ❤️😊

[@readreamcatcher7492]

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!

[@RedRockingBird]

Wow well done Rea, I love to make them by hand sometimes too and it can be very therapeutic, yes do please have a look on my Etsy store, there are also even more of my sewing patterns here: rockingbird.square.site/s/shop

Can you make the elephant into a door stop as well

[@RedRockingBird]

@@susangray2258 yes definitely, you could always make larger on a photocopier, and fill legs with some dried rice or beans. Check out my new FREE template and tutorial : ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJa0fnlsjdeVrK8

[@harcoonlove4291]

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

[@RedRockingBird]

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]

@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).

[@RedRockingBird]

[@bezatsige2870]

so about the pattern, can I just print it on A4 paper or actual size?, and thanks a lot for the video

[@RedRockingBird]

It’s set to print as A4 so should be fine thanks

[@zoetiarav]

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

[@RedRockingBird]

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

[@zoetiarav]

@@RedRockingBird yes that's what i mean. Thank you!

[@RedRockingBird]

Great, enjoy your project 😊

[@zoetiarav]

@@RedRockingBird i will!!

[@harcoonlove4291]

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 :] )

[@RedRockingBird]

He sounds wonderful, so well done, thank you for sharing with us, best of luck 😊❤️🌼

[@rebekahsimpson2891]

do i have an old pattern my underbelly template looks nothing like this😂

[@kathys71201]

What seam allowance?

[@RedRockingBird]

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.

[@harcoonlove4291]

In the video they said 5mil for the whole thing will be just great ^u^

[@patwells2639]

Has anyone tried to make a mammoth from this pattern?

[@RedRockingBird]

Good idea, you should try and let me know how you get on Pat, have a great day, happy sewing
