Gideon the Elephant Shrew Patch

An adorable elephant shrew patch is a fun way to add your favorite animal to any piece of clothing. Our felt appliques are ready to be sewn or ironed on to any iron safe cloth surface. For best results we recommend doing both.

• Made of layered eco-fi felt
• Patch has iron on backing
• Needle and color coordinated thread are not included, but highly recommended for the best results in securing the patch
• Measures approximately 5.25 inches (12.7 cm)  tall and 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) wide 

• Not intended for young children or animals. This is a decorative item.

For more details on how we tested the patches, examples of patches in use, and how they hold up over time and to being washed please visit this blog post.

Gideon Elephant Shrew's Story

Gideon has been trying to learn to play 26 musical instruments, one for every letter of the alphabet. Currently the only hole in his collection is the banjo. At first it was just difficult to find an elephant shrew sized banjo, so he just moved on to the cello. However, now that he’s learned the zither, he’s come back to that elusive banjo and it’s proving quite difficult to master. Gideon is determined though, no matter how long it takes.
