Felt fruit
Dec. 9th, 2013 02:20 pmI made F some felt fruit for a gift this year. She asked for more soft toy food. I used McCall's 6572 and the wool/rayon felt from Treadle.

I loved the way each orange half looks alone, but they were supposed to stick together into a whole orange, and that totally didn't work. They look like 2 donuts stacked up.
( oranges )
But, separately, they still look okay, so I'm gonna go with it. And I love the way the banana and strawberries came out!
I thought I was done with felt food for a while (because every one I make will just add to the mess in the living room) but I think I might do a couple fried eggs. We'll see.
