Over the years, as friends and family members have brought new kiddos into their lives, I’ve gotten in the habit of sewing a stuffed animal for these wonderful new additions. Usually an adorable elephant, sometimes a monkey.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I’ve filled the animals with buckwheat hulls<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sometimes I’ve used organic fabrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’ve always used Burda pattern #7904<\/a>.<\/p>\n And I always try to make them (as well upholster things!<\/a>) with my mom. We just made another elephant for some dear friends, and in the process made a 2.5 minute time-lapse film, below. World’s Best Mom!<\/a><\/p>\n
