More details:

With the unique "Elephant Eli" sewing pattern, you can sew a children's sweater where the animal motif is not just printed on, but is a real part of the sweater through the appliqué. This makes it a cool eye-catcher that quickly turns into a favorite item in the wardrobe.

The PDF sewing pattern includes 6 combined sizes (86/92, 98/104, 110/116, 122/128, 134/140, 146/152) and is therefore suitable for children from approximately 1 to 10 years old.

This is a project you'll want to finish fast, just to be able to see your elephant trumpeting around.

What makes the sweater particularly outstanding are the appliquéd elephant legs, the elephant ear, the tusks, and the trunk as sleeve. Together, they form the animal motif appliqué that gives the sweater its very own character. You decide individually how playful it should be. With the appliqué, the sweater is a real statement piece. Without the appliqué, on the other hand, you get a classic, cozy sweater where the chosen fabric takes center stage, whether it's a solid-color, patterned or printed fabric.

With appliqué or without, either way you get a fantastic and unique piece.

Our sewing pattern is also easy to implement for beginners who have outgrown their first sewing projects or simply enjoy appliquéing. The illustrated step-by-step instructions guide you safely through the entire project, including the appliqué. We also provide valuable tips and tricks from over 15 years of experience with appliqués and jersey fabrics, so that the fabrics are processed optimally, whether with a household or industrial sewing machine.

Especially practical: due to its individual appliqué parts, the pattern is also excellent for an upcycling project. A discarded favorite item becomes a one-of-a-kind piece, perfect for a personal gift or a special unique item.

Especially nice for twins or siblings: the pattern can also be sewn mirrored, so that the trunk is once on the left and once on the right. This way, apart from the color, the sweater can be individually designed for each child, and yet it is immediately obvious that both belong together. And when the two hold hands, you'll be even more excited about these unique outfits. Therefore the pattern is perfect for a partner look outfit for twins or even siblings of different ages, as it is included in 6 combined sizes.

The digital sewing pattern contains everything you need for your sewing project. This includes:

  • the pattern sheet in sizes 86 to 152 (6 combined sizes), which can be used and printed individually thanks to the layer function
  • the illustrated sewing instructions that guide you step-by-step through the sweater and the appliqué
  • the files in several formats: A4 and US Letter file for home printing, A0 file for plotting in a copy shop, and projector file for direct projection onto the fabric
  • Cutter and plotter files for small details such as the eye

All files, patterns and sewing instructions, are included in German, English and Spanish.

The "Elephant Eli" sewing pattern with its animal motif appliqué is ideal for creative sewing ideas, upcycling projects or special gifts.

⚠ Note: the sewing patterns are intended exclusively for private use. Commercial use or the sale of sewn items is not permitted.
