The sewing calendar 2010 project

Tutorial by Sarah Mikkelsen

I’m late for this project : my son was sick and I didn’thave time to work on it earlier. My son is actually still sick, so I had to take a day off from work. I did this project during his nap and I did it for him !

I was not as careful as Sarah was: I didn’t sew the ribbons first. I just pined them on the first fabric, put the second one on top and sewed everything together, on the wrong side. I just left an opening, returned to the right side and removed the pins. Finally, I seamed all over again and that’s it !

Here are the pictures :

and the result :

What do you think? The pattern will match the stuffed animal (elephant) I did for my baby a few months ago 😉
