Elephants On Parade

It's amazing what you could get for 25p back in the day. One thing was this set of patterns complete with a rather 70s looking elephant.

I bought this in a charity shop about a year ago for about 50 pence (inflation!) and finally got around to creating my own little 70s elephant ( who has now been named David).

It was a gift for a little baby girl and comes complete with retro fabric ears, plaited tail, granny doily back deco and mellowy yellowy button eyes.

Well it took me a while to complete this one ( a few months seen as i had wee Florence in the meanwhile) and every time I began on the sewing machine to get him finished it got me thinking about these other psychedelic elephants:


Now that I'm elephanted out I think that the next project should be the sausage dog which could double up as a rather chic draft excluder!

Enjoy what's left of Monday!
