Rebecca's Wee Elephant

Rebecca's Wee Elephant

Rebecca is a knitter who has been thinking about sewing for a while. She was participating in Secret Pal Swap and needed a gift. The first time she visited our shop she came up with a plan to make Peanut, the Wee Elephant from Last Minute Patchwork & Quilted Gifts for her Pal. She picked fabrics and was on her way.

Then she had a sewing machine malfunction, and came to use our machines. It was so fun to see this project come together right before our eyes. There were some difficult seams to sew, but she got through it beautifully. He was all stitched up, but a little deflated without his stuffing. I asked Rebecca to send me a photo when he was all done, and she did! He is SO CUTE! This little guy was gifted this past weekend and I hear that he was the hit of the party.

Now, not only is she a talented knitter but a great seamstress too. Well done, Rebecca!

    Ah, I wanted to buy this book just to get the pattern for Hillary Lang’s “Peanut”. I have her handstitching patterns & most of the embroidery ones, and love them.
