Felt Food Kiwi Tutorial

I actually remembered to take pictures while I was sewing the kiwis.It's similar to this one here. This is my tutorial for them.

Supplies:
Green Felt
White Felt
White Embroidery Floss
Black Embroidery Floss
Green Embroidery Floss
Small amount of Poly-Fil or Felt scraps 
 


 I used those tiny glass bowls (The ones for spices when cooking) to make the white portion. The green was cut out using a drinking glass.
  

Sew the small white circle to the green circle using different lengthen stitches with the white embroidery floss.


              Sew in small stitches with the black embroidery floss around the white circle to make the seeds

Fold the circle in half and close with either a blanket stitch or a whip stitch. I used a whip stitch just because it's a little easier. Leave a hole for the stuffing


Stuff the kiwi with a small amount of poly-fill or scrap felt pieces. Make sure to push the stuffing into the corners. I like to leave my needle in while I'm stuffing, but feel free to knot it off while stuffing


                         Finish up by stitching the hole closed by continuing the whip stitch or blanket stitch
                                                             Looks good enough to eat :)
