Hand Crafted Large Stuffed Animal

Large Animals

Hello everyone, my name is Emma and these are just a few of my fun creations that I create. In this post I have just a few of my favorites displayed. I make fun large dogs, donkeys, and horses. Now the Donkeys have quite the story behind how they were created. Click here to learn more ( https://tenderstepswebsite.blogspot.com/2017/07/donkeys-for-kalecia-fundraiser.html ). 
These animals are made with differnt fabrics, some with denim, and some with out. I have attached buttons as the eyes and on some of them they attach the ears as well. The button legs allow for movement of the legs. You can make them stand, sit, or lay down. I will tell you for a fact that my dear son who is almost 2 absolutely loves this about them. He plays with the ones I have made for him all the time. Also in some of my animals the legs are weighed down with rice to help the animal have support all on its own. But unfortunately those are ones that cannot be machine washable. Although we are working on a few ideas for future patterns. The large animals all stand over a foot tall and are over a foot long as well. Size ranges from 12 inches long/tall to 17 inches long/tall.




I love how the denim and the poke-a-dots just fit together so nicely. 
This one is on Etsy and we only have one available. 

This was my October Horse that I made for 2016. He sold at my very first boutique! 
No more available.

This is a absolute favorite. He is one of a kind, and on my Etsy account.

This fun blue pony is one of a kind and on my Etsy.

This is another top favorite, that I love.

Donkey's For Kalecia (Fundraiser)

Donkey's (For Kalecia)


In September of 2016 I was working on some fun animal patterns. Playing around with a few differnt fun ideas. I sewed on together and took it to show my mom and sister. My sister raised her eyebrow at me and informed me that it did not look like a dog, but more like a donkey. I was frustrated, I did not see how a donkey would be cute. I couldn't see it in my mind. Kalecia, my sister took it and created it into this cute little guy right here. 

I immediately fell in love with her donkey idea. They have been a favorite of many differnt people and turn out twice as cute as some of my other ones. I took Kalecia's idea and I ran with it. 

I was working on getting stock for my very first boutique and didn't think I had time to experiment with very many ideas.  But I kept having this one idea play in my mind over and over and over again. So finally two days before my boutique I sat down and experimented with it. I will tell you what it was a success! A big hit, and I sold a few at my boutique....more then that stuffed animals. Wish I had tested this idea out sooner then a few days before. This ideas was a purse shaped like a animal.
