Mini Elephant Giveaway

It's not Spring, not just yet. But as we are thawing out from (yet another) winter storm here in Indiana, I can't help but daydream a little that it is just around the corner. And so, as I prepare for warmer weather (right, Mother Nature??), I'm doing some Spring cleaning in my sewing room. A few pattern samples are hiding about in here and they are eager to make room for new goodies--so I thought a little giveaway would be fun. Let's start with a tiny Tilly softie!

This cute little polka dot pachyderm is such a cheery companion that I thought she might like to brighten your day, too! Standing at 6" tall, she is a mini version of my elephant softie pattern (you can make your own by photocopying the pattern at 75%).

sweet little elephant softie from Retro Mama

If you'd like to win this cute little elephant, leave your name and e-mail address in the comments below or in the comments under this post on my Facebook page (one entry per person, please!). International entries are welcome :) I will draw the winner Friday, March 14. The winner has been drawn, thanks to all who entered!

Best of luck to everyone!

    Hello!

    What an adorable little elephant! Just as adorable as everything else you make - your blog has inspired me for a long time, and finally I have made my own blog just a few weeks ago, with a lot of "retro-stuff" :) I will keep my fingers crossed for the little pink one!

    Best wishes from Liv Iren in the middle of Norway :)
