| I had this elephant doll lying around that I'd made years ago (from a beautiful heavy-weight wool). When a certain grandma wanted to buy him for her grandson's third birthday, he needed an outfit. Sam loves "things that go" (I made him the bus pillow for Christmas) so I decided to outfit Mr. Elephant as a train conductor. |

| The overalls came easily and were so fun to make. But the cap was really tricky!! I was having spacial relations problems and it took me the longest time to figure out the folds. It's not perfect but does the trick. |

| There's a loop on his overalls for a tiny set of keys, and then I made up some train tickets in Photoshop. It was all a lot of work but a very satisfying result. I really hope Mr. Elephant becomes a favorite friend! xo |
Oh! How lovely :o) The tickets, keys, cap and overalls are a perfect finish. Anyone would love Mr Elephant. I know I would welcome him with open arms. I am sure he will be much loved.
ReplyDeleteWow Maggie. The hat looks great and Mr. Elephants details are soooo cool. Adore the keys, and the tickets are over the top!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and classic looking toy, wow!
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is so wonderful, my nephew loved keys when he was little that would have been such a plus. I would hate to let my son play with this, I think I would keep it up high, it is so terrific.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Maggie. I want one of your stuffed toys.
