We are so lucky here at Birch Fabrics, to be able to partner with some very talented ladies from the crafting community. Here we have an Elephant Plushie Pattern and Tutorial by Christina McKinney, a creative contributor to our Birch Fabrics blog, momma, photographer, and all around awesome person! Check out her adorable pattern and tute! .......................................................................................................................... I’m so excited to share this fun tutorial with you!! Growing up, my mom collected elephants - so I have always loved them. These make great little snuggle buddies for little ones or decorations for a nursery. And since they come together so quickly, they make great gifts. The pattern is available in two sizes, large and small - so you can make one, or a whole little family of them! Tips: Use a 1/4in seam allowance throughout. Read your pattern pieces BEFORE cutting, two of them require you to add a seam allowance along one edge. Pinning will really help keep seams matched up, but I DO NOT recommend sewing over pins! Press all your pieces well before and during sewing. Supplies needed: 1 fat quarter in main fabric print 1 fat quarter in contrast fabric scrap piece of iron on interfacing polyfil stuffing Printed pattern pieces PRINT PATTERN PIECES HERE! Fabric Shown: From Just For Fun Collection and Mod Basics 2 by Jay-Cyn Designs for Birch Fabrics Organic. You need to add a seam allowance to a couple pieces. I don’t measure them exactly, eyeballing it is just fine! This is how mine are pinned - about 1/2 in between - then I just cut up the middle. (My fabric here is folded wrong sides together, so I’m cutting both the left and right pieces at the same time. I recommend doing this to keep the pieces exact.) They should end up looking like this: So, once everything is cut, you’re ready to go! First, start with sewing each set of ears. Take two and put them right sides together. You’re going to sew just the curved edge, leaving the straight side open for turning. Repeat with second set of ear pieces. Turn your ears right side out and press. Using your pattern piece as a guide, place one ear on one of the main body pieces. The raw edge of the ear will lay against the raw edge of the body piece. Lay the corresponding face piece on top, sandwiching the ear in between. Pin in place and sew along the straight edge. Repeat this step with the second ear, face, & body pieces. Press your seam toward the elephants trunk. (It should naturally face that way when you flip the ear back.) Using your face pattern piece as a guide, line up where your eye will be, and iron on your interfacing piece. Just as a side note, there are a couple options for the eye. I use a stitch on my machine that just happens to look a little like an oval: You could also stitch an eye by hand, or leave it off entirely. I strongly recommend the interfacing if it’s machine or hand stitched - otherwise the fabric could tear. (Since these are meant for little ones, I would avoid button eyes.) Once I have the interfacing in place, I like to mark a small dot on the front where the top of my stitched eye will start. This helps keep things even! Once the eye is stitched, I pull the top and bottom threads from the front to the back and tie a small knot. Since reversing/securing the stitch isn’t an option with decorative stitches, I do this to make sure it doesn’t pull out over time. Then snip your threads The front should look something like this: Now, you need to stitch up your little tail piece. ***Quick note in regard to sewing this in the smaller size. I still cut the tail piece the same size and sew it the same way. I just shorten it when I’m finished.*** Fold over and press each long edge 1/4in. Fold in half and press Sew along the open side, staying close to the edge, but making sure you catch both sides. As close as you can to one end, tie a small knot for decoration. Using your pattern piece for placement, lay your tail piece in place and pin. Keep in mind that the tail will hang whatever direction you stitch it. So, decide if you want it angled up or down and place it accordingly. Leave about 1/4 inch out, just to make sure it gets caught in the seam correctly. Lay your second body piece on top, matching up all the edges and seams. Pin in place. You’ll need to decide what edge to leave open for turning and stitching. A straight edge is ideal for this - much easier to sew up once you’re done. Mark your start and stop points with double needles or different colored pins. Stitch around the edge taking care to follow all the curves. Take your time! Be sure to secure your start and stop stitches near the opening so it doesn’t unravel when you turn it right side out. Before turning, snip the inner and outer curves. BE CAREFUL and don’t snip through your stitches!! The inner and outer edges of the trunk and belly are the most important curves to cut. (Though I tend to just snip almost the whole way around. It goes a long way in helping things lay correctly when turned.) Turn right side out, poking out all the rounded edges and corners. I use a chopstick for this, it’s perfect!! (I don’t know about y’all, but I always have more than a few of those laying around! Take out anyone?) Once all your seams are pressed, you can start stuffing! I like to take small pieces of filling and push them into the trunk first. I then use the chopstick to poke filling into all the nooks and crannies. Fill to your desired firmness. (I recommend less filling if it’s meant for very little ones. Far easier for them to hold on to!) Once you’re happy with the filling amount, sew up the opening with a blind stitch. And you’re done! See? EASY!

I have been wanting to work on a design with lantern sleeve, and finally I have it to share! The Romy lantern sleeve is a cropped blouse with ¾ structured sleeve. It is a fun and simple project even for beginners. Let’s have a look at how it would be in different colors and prints: As usual, my pattern is made in 10 sizes from XXS to 5XL so you may find a suitable size for yourself. If you are not sure which size suits you, take a look at the measurement table before doing anything here: SIZE GUIDE. The pattern is made using layered PDF, please check for your desired size before printing so you won’t waste your paper. I have included a first page with many details about sizing and printing, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size you need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for the printing instruction in this post: PRINTING GUIDE. My patterns are now made in both A4/Letter paper and A0 paper format so you can print at home or at any print shop! For home printers, you can print this using your home printer and either A4 or Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be able to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always print the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing at the right scale before you print out the whole pattern – avoid waste of ink and waste of paper, save the earth! Some PC may print smaller than actual size even when you choose 100% scale – I don’t know why this problem exist, but my HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the right size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to size, if not, scale up a bit. I was informed by a reader that you can also print the pdf as image to get the right scale, however I never tested it on my computer. SEWING INSTRUCTION You will need Fabric of your choice. This pattern is intended for woven fabric. Scissors, pencil or fabric marker, ruler, pins Sewing machine/Serger or needle and thread Printed pattern How much fabric do you need for this piece of garment? To be precise, you may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or 35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don’t forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. Cutting instruction: After printing out and taping all the pattern pages together, you will get something similar to this: You will see that there are 2 sets of lines on each pattern piece. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along these lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along these lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric before cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam allowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam allowance is about 1/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch (2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the pattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to give at each seam. The fabric will be cut into following pieces: Front: cut 1 on the fold Back: cut 1 on the fold Upper Sleeve: cut 2 Lower Sleeve: cut 2 Sleeve Cuff: cut 2 Bias strip for neckline finish Place the pattern pieces on the fabric, pin the pattern pieces to the fabric to secure them in place. Using sharp scissors, carefully cut out the fabric pieces along the outer lines of the pattern. Take your time to ensure precise and clean cuts, as this will affect the fit and overall appearance of your garment. Make sure to mark all notches and other design features such as darts, pleats, draw marks etc. from the pattern pieces onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Sewing instruction: 1. Serge/zig zag stitch the raw edge to prevent fabric from unraveling. 2. Fold and sew the bust darts on Front piece. 3. Place the Front and Back pieces right side facing. Pin and sew the shoulder and side seams. 4. Place the Upper Sleeve and larger end of the Lower Sleeve right side facing, pin and sew to join. Staystitch the seam allowance toward the Upper Sleeve. 5. Gather the other end of the Lower Sleeve to match the measurement of the Sleeve Cuff. 6. Sew the underarm seam of the Sleeve. 7. Sew two short ends of the Sleeve Cuff. Fold the Sleeve Cuff in half (right side out, hiding seam allowance inside). 8. Attach the Sleeve Cuff to the Sleeve by pushing the sleeve opening in between two layers of the Sleeve Cuff and topstitching, catching both layers of the Sleeve Cuff and the Sleeve inside. If you find it too difficult, just pin the Sleeve Cuff to the right side of the sleeve and sew to join. 9. Turn the Sleeve inside out, place it right side facing the right side of main garment, matching notches. Pin and sew to attach the sleeve to the main garment. 10. Use bias binding to finish back neck slit and neckline. You can refer to this post on How to finish edge with bias tape. Method 1 – bias binding, method 2 – bias facing. 11. Fold and sew the hem of the garment. Attach button and loop for back neck slit closure.
