More Felt Food Tutoials: Carrot and Snow Pea

To make a carrot you will need these pieces - orange wedge, green rectangle with fringe cut on one end, stuffing

Starting at pointy end of carrot, whip stitch on outside of felt with matching thread.Continue sewing toward the top of the carrot, stuffing it as you go.

When you near the top, lay the carrot greens inside and put the last of the stuffing in.After you sew all the way to the top, secure stitches and sew a running stitch through the orange and green layers all the way around the top close to the edge.

Cinch in stitching, and secure thread ends. To make a snow pea you will need a green ellipse and a piece slightly smaller than 1/2 the ellipse.
Fold small piece inside larger one and whip stitch around outside with matching thread.

Done!
