UPDATE BELOW-Hello Cuties, I wanted to show you this little set. I made it out of a fat quarter and it is the first time I made the burp like this. Does it look okay to leave the edge serged or overlocked like this?
I also wanted to make a little stuffed elephant to complete the set. I would be making it in this cotton fabric, so I didn't want to do Sue's 4 legged elephant.
Someone made a set with elephants before and I would like to know if any of you remember who is was, or where the little elephant came from. It was just a outline, kind of like this elephant, but stuffed,kinda flat if you know what I mean. Not a stand up kind. I remember the ear was a different fabric. Would love to know how to get the pattern, even if its a sewing pattern.
UPDATE-I decided to quilt the burp like the bib and also put my 'Toogie' brand on, as I for got on the bib and later the elephant.
Yes, I had an ellie and it was so simple to stitch. I stitched it twice, reversing, so I would have an eye and ear for both sides. Does his tail need shortening to the knot in the middle? I don't think they have a long tail.....I don't see them here, where I live-lol-I would have liked to put a squeaker in him, but I must be out. Hope you all have a wonderful day-Toogie

Dumb internet in my area messed up---In all the world I watch on t.v. all these people in the remotest areas have cell phone coverage---ME--in rural area America and crappy cell coverage and internet. Your set is just adorable. I have a little elephant I put on my usb and am going to try it out and see what it is. I think it is just a front and back but not sure if it looks like yours. Still got to go out and try to remember to buy a package of diapers to have on hand to use with beautiful strips of fabrics. I love to see all of your creations.

Thank you, that's nice to hear. I asked if anyone knew where I could find one and I re-looked into my files, and lo and behold, there they were.

234501What a lovely set you have made, I'm sure the person that receives this will be delighted. Did you have a pattern for the bib, I really like how it has a snap on one shoulder. Thanks

You know what, there was a Cutie that digitized me the neck part, because I only have a 5x7 hoop and I had to sew the rest, on my regular machine. I just saw the lady whose baby this is for, at the post office when I went to mail the other bibs, but I didn't have it with me.
7873This burp set you've done looks so adorable& sure to make some child wild about elles too. Wondered where you'd found this fabric if you don't mind telling? Thought it might be nice to add a wrist strap to make this elle stay on a baby's hand too. Thanks for sharing your projects. :~D

6951the stippling is a nice addition. Ellie looks great, I love the ears, and the long tail is nice for little hands to grab (or suck on).

I did shorten the tail and if its sucked on, it won't come off. I stitched it over & over & over!

66912What a lovely set. Elephant is a perfect addition, but I would shorten his tail. Hugs Shirley

52686Just a suggestion. if it's for a baby leave the tail off. Everything goes in their mouths and it could be a choking hazard

Unless he sucks the fibers apart, its not coming off. I stitched it so many times and back and forth.
6727166027Very cute! I think this is the same elephant: http://klann-inchendesign.blogspo...

Yes, this is it! Thank you for locating it for us. It stitched really well. I did use a 5x7 basing file first, to hold down my fabric, for the elephant.

I couldn't get the site to come up for the elephant download by clicking on the square in the right hand list, not sure what I did wrong.

It's machine, free motion quilting. I just hold the fabric and move it randomly. I think this method is so relaxing. I was lucky to find a set of these elephants, in a folder I had. I must have downloaded them this year and forgot about them.Thanks for looking.
3034Love your elephant stuffie. He is perfect with that fabric.

360660Very cute set, Toogie...I have done many burps with a fabric panel down the center...sometimes using a couple of different coordinating fabrics...although the serged edge is fine...I still personally prefer adding a binding on the ends...just me I guess...I think the elephant stuffie would be adorable to add...if you can't find one, let me know and I will digitize one for you...

You're so sweet but actually, I had several in a file I overlooked, thank you though. I am trying to get Gus a bib out of this too, is why I didn't bind it....maybe I'll get another piece.
318494This set is adorable. I especially like the font you used for his name and think the serged edge is fine.

Oh, I can't believe I didn't say, but the font is from Five Star Fonts-Teachers Pet. Thanks for the reminder and for commenting-T

3335078119Nice set, and the serged edge looks good to me. I am afraid I can't help you with a link to the elephant, but since you have the pattern, you could use Sue's 4 legged one and leave out the middle parts, making it 2 legged.

I found a whole herd (or set)lol in one of my files! The file says 'geburtselefant- with stars, heart, clover,mushroom,bandaid. I thought I had looked in all of them, so maybe tomorrow I will Update-going to bed now. I also googled and found a large sewing one, but I doubt I make a large one.
I thought the edge would be ok too, but I'm glad to have your opinion. Looking at it here, I should quilt it like I did the bib, don't you think?
