We began making Felt Fruit during craft sessions a while ago.
Any fellow School Crafties reading this will know, it has taken me a while to finish my little collection.
But as you can see, I am now happily there!

On comparison with real strawberries, I decided there was a variation in
the seed colour. Mostly citrus. So this variegated floss worked well. |

Spot the Felt strawberry.

I am afraid I can't take credit for any of the patterns. They were all masterminded by other clever Craft Group members.
Seasonal fruit is of course perfect for our Nature Table.
I just love hand~sewing, & the quality wool felt is so wonderful to touch and work with.

My kiwi has been donated to the School Treasure House.

My felt Banana pieces were cut out for
a looong time before completion. |
Yes, these do take time, but I have loved making each piece of fruit and I think I shall make even more as gifts.
What do you think of these special little wonders?
