Upcycling rugby shirts for 2/3year olds

My son sent a box of grandson's 2/3 year old clothes for me to play with in my sewing room. Quite  a few rugby shirts like this.
He really loved this style and wore these shirts a lot so they were very washed out and some stains!
I choose two in slightly different red and blue strips and turned them into quite a large stuffed elephant. You can get quite a bit of material out of these shirts as they had long sleeves!


Pattern from the internet, stuffing is a mostly an old pillow innards and some left over batting for the trunk and feet.

I shall have to offer to do the same for the other son's two if they want to save memories.

    Adorable and a lovey remembrance of something they loved.

    God bless.

    Perfect toy, it looks good. I have seen teddy bears with cut down first school uniforms, but nice idea to do a soft toy.

    Love, love, love the elephant. I'm sure your grandson will be very happy with it. Would love to know the web address if you still have it.
