Dress Me Bestie is the name of our sewing pattern series which is all about dressing self-sewn cuddly friends. Elephant EDDY is 16 inch (40 cm) from head to toe and one of the characters for whom you can sew matching clothes and many great accessories – and all of them are interchangeable between the characters in the series! To sew the stuffed elephant, you should have a little sewing experience and 2-3 hours of time.

What’s special about our Dress Me Bestie rag doll sewing patterns: Compared to other plush patterns or stuffed animal sewing patterns, Dress Me Besties are quick and easy to sew. The arms and legs are attached to the body pattern piece, eliminating the need to cut and sew small pieces! The ears are also not sewn separately and then attached to the head, but are part of the head pattern piece. You can sew everything together with a sewing machine, so no hand sewing is necessary. That make’s it particularly safe in terms of tear resistance.

• Sewing time: 2-3 hours
• Difficulty level: simple

Embroidery designs and cutting files for the stuffed elephant sewing pattern

Important: You don’t need an EMBROIDERY MACHINE to applique the face elements! You can do the appliqués with a simple sewing machine and a double-sided iron-on adhesive webbing like Heat’n Bond. We explain how to do this in great detail in the sewing instructions. You can also find video instructions for doing appliqués with a sewing machine on our Youtube channel. However, if you HAVE an embroidery machine, you can also buy the elephant plush pattern with the matching face embroidery design!

If you have an digital cutting machine like Cricut or Silhouette, you can also buy matching cutting files. You can use them to create iron-on transfers for the facial elements of the teddy bear. This saves you from having to sew appliques with the sewing machine (as described in the sewing instructions).
