Skill Level & Sewing Time
Skill level: Confident beginner
Estimated sewing time: Approximately 4–6 hours
This project is suitable for makers who know how to thread a needle or operate a basic sewing machine and sew simple seams. The included video walks you through the construction process, making the pattern approachable even if this is one of your first stuffed-animal projects.
A sewing machine is recommended for faster assembly, but patient makers may also sew the elephant by hand.
Finished Size
- Printed on A4 or US Letter: approximately 16 cm / 6.3 in tall
- Enlarged to A3: approximately 28 cm / 11 in tall
The finished size may vary slightly depending on your printer settings, fabric choice and how firmly the elephant is stuffed.
Recommended Fabrics
- Short-pile minky
- Plush fleece
- Velboa
- Soft faux fur
Use one main colour for the body and a coordinating or contrasting fabric for the inner ears and other details. Short-pile fabric is the easiest option for beginners because the pattern markings and seams remain easier to see.

- Contrast fabric for the inner ears and details
- Polyester fiberfill stuffing
- Matching sewing thread
- Fabric scissors
- Needle and pins or sewing clips
- Fabric marker or tailor’s chalk

Printing Instructions
