Bring gentle nursery charm to baby makes with this sitting female baby elephant, stitched in a cute cartoon style with a bow on her head, big soft ears and a neatly curved trunk. Her blue eyes, eyelashes and blushing cheeks give her a tender, wide-eyed expression, while the ruffled dress and layered tutu skirt make the design feel dressed up without losing its babyish sweetness. It is an easy choice for anyone sewing for a new baby, a young child or a nursery with soft pinks, greys, mint and pastel accents.
With 13 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has a rich, filled look that shows best on stable fabrics where the detail in the face, dress frills and skirt layers can really stand out. It suits baby blankets, bibs, quilt blocks, changing bag panels and the front of sweatshirts or little jackets, especially in pale cotton, fleece or towelling. The grey body, pink dress and small touches of yellow, blue, black and white give you plenty to coordinate with without overwhelming the item underneath.
