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. |

I am afraid I can't take credit for any of the patterns. They were all masterminded by other clever Craft Group members.
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?

I think they are very cleverly made and you are very very patient! The strawberry is really quite life like - in fact all of them look very real. Lucky friends who receive these as gifts!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evi. You say the loveliest things x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! xx
ReplyDeleteYour fruit looks so great! I also had made some felt food for my kids, and got so addicted, that now I've sold some and can't stop the felt creations. Your banana is particularly awesome! I can make sandwich sets, but for some reason, the bananas with peel have intimidated me too much to try yet... maybe I'll have to try now :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sunshine Mama!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand where you're coming from. I have looked at many blogs, photos and etsy~ and seen some beautiful Felt Food! I can see it could become very addictive.♥
would said patterns be available to rest of us at any point?! these are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Regina :)
ReplyDeleteI need to speak with my crafty ladies.
I'm not comfortable with posting patterns that I didn't create. But I'm super pleased you like them. I think they turned out well.
oh these are just wonderful! i really love the orange and the banana x
ReplyDeleteWow, these turned out wonderfully! I love working with felt- it does take a little extra time- but it is so worth it. I look forward to checking out your blog!
