House Hippos
Dive into the world of crafting with our Easy Hippo House Sewing Pattern. (This is a paper pattern)
This pattern provides a step-by-step guide that takes you smoothly from the beginning of your project to the end result: an adorable house hippo! House Hippos were part of a Canadian TV campaign to warn people not to believe everything they see on the TV. I love the idea of mini-hippos making nests in our closets and coming out at night to eat chips and raisins !
Perfectly sized to live happily in your home, the House Hippos could be used as pincushions if you could bear to put your pins in them.
Perfect for beginners, the easy-to-follow instructions and diagrams ensure a hassle-free crafting experience.
✂️You can use cotton, linen, felt, velvet, polar fleece or even vintage embroidered doilies to make up these lovely hippos.
✂️The hippos are approx. 5 & 6 inches high.
