Ernie the pink elephant. Quicker to make than to explain!!


Stitch all colours except 4 and 5 using thread to match your fabric. Use fleece fabric with the stretch from trunk to tail.

Hoop tear away stabiliser and stitch the first two colours. These are placement lines.

Cover the whole design with a piece of fabric and the third colour will stitch it in place.

The next two colours are the eyes and mouth, followed by a placement line for attaching the ears later.

It should now look like the third picture. Cover the legs with a piece of fabric as shown. The next colour will stitch it down.

Cover the ear area with another piece of fabric and stitch colour 8.

Do not stitch colour 9.

Remove from hoop and cut out leaving a small seam allowance.

REVERSE THE DESIGN and repeat to make the second side, missing out colours 2 and 8. Ernie doesn't need 4 ears!

Before stitching colour 10 very carefully position the first body part over the design in the hoop. (I actually used a needle and thread to tack mine in place.)

Stitch the final colour.

Remove from hoop and tear away the stabiliser. Turn the right way around and stuff. Ladder stitch the opening along his tummy. (Careful he is ticklish!)

Use the placement lines as a guide for attaching the ears.

Stitch a few lengths of embroidery floss to his rear and plait them, finshing off with a knot.

Are you seeing Pink Elephants? Perhaps you've had too many of these:

Ingrediants:

3/4 oz Vodka
3/4 oz Galliano
3/4 oz Creme de Noyeaux
3/4 oz Orange Juice
3/4 oz Cream (preferably fresh)
Dash(es) of Grenadine

Stir in a mixing glass half filled with cracked ice and strain into 5 oz. champagne glass. Garnish with Cinnamon.

And I do like your version of the Pink Elephant, Sue.
