St Jude and Nurse Chansey

In November we did a Gotta Stitch Em All Stream to make a Nurse Chansey for St. Jude. It took a few days and we had so much fun, but also raised over $250 for St. Jude! So here’s your official Chansey pattern. Thank you all so much for hanging out and making the cutest little nursey lady!
