How to participate: One Yard Wonders Sew Along Details
I decided I was going to buy this book in time to do Steggie with your stitch along. My book arrived last week, but I just don’t have the time to do extra sewing this week
What lovely colors to use for the animals! Kaffe’s fabrics make them look so whimsical and fun!
Okay, now that is the coolest fabric for that dino! I can not wait to see the finished project! This sew-along is the most fun to watch. Thanks for taking the time and effort of blogging this!
Great fabric choices for both projects. Love that Steggie is on wheels!
Oh, I do love a good stuffed elephant! I love the fabric choices and can’t wait to see the result… thanks, as always for the inspiration!
These are adorable!
LOVE that elephant!
These things are so cute…are they hard to put together??
Ohh, both projects are adorable!
Both are very cute, looking forward to seeing how your versions turn out!!!
WHAT A YEAR OF One Yard Wonders! Kathy, it’s great to see all of the creations! I haven’t seen the book yet, but feel as if I have at the same time! I’ve gotta get it now that I’m a grandmother of a sweet baby girl!
Cool fabric selections!
I have GOT to crack open that book!
Yay for Kaffe Fasset week! And I love the softies. Great ideas for gifts for the holidays!
I can’t wait to see how the elephant turns out – I am fond of them!
Both of these would be wonderful Christmas gifts, but I just have to make the Elephant for my new niece Elianah! Also, I was just wondering if there is one central location to find all the corrections to the book? I noticed you have corrections listed for the dinosaur project. Seems like a lot of corrections. Is there a place I can just print out everything and tuck it inside my book?
I love both of these projects but the dinosaur intimidates me some with the wood base. I’m hoping you make it easier.
Love these projects, can’t wait to see how cute they’ll turn out!
That Elodie the elephant is adorable! Thanks for sharing!
It is fun to see the stuffed toys done in different types of fabrics, especially with gift giving season.

Cute animals and what fun to pick out different fabrics to use for each critter.
Would someone please, please, please make an Elodie elephant for me?
Love these!! I made the dino for my son without the pull-along part, and I actually have the fabric cut out from old receiving blankets to make into elephants for my kids, just have to sew them!!
