Sew some Felt Fruit! Apple and Pear Tutorial

UPDATE: this tutorial is now available in my Patreon pattern library.

-------

Sometimes it's nice to make things which are useful and practical... and sometimes it's nice to make decorative, whimsical things. Today I'm starting a tutorial series which is definitely the latter: sewing some felt fruit!

 Felt apples and pear

I'm sharing how to make a felt apple and pear today, and over the coming weeks I'll be posting free tutorials for making the rest of this colourful felt fruit.

You can make the whole set (wouldn't they look fab as a mobile or displayed in a bowl together?) or make individual pieces to decorate your space. If you did want to make something practical, the apple and pear would make great pincushions. Please note that the finished felt fruit is intended for decorative use only - it is not a toy and should be kept well out of reach of young children.

This project was originally published in docrafts Creativity magazine and stitched using felt from their Craft Planet range.
