delicious!

i have been up late the last several nights making felt food. it is so fun and easy to do. i have not followed any patterns. i do not have a sewing machine so i have to hand stitch my stuff. my stitching is terrible so please don't look too closely at it. i have found some free felt patterns online just by googling. however, for the most part, i have just done whatever i thought i would work. there are certain things that are easier to do so that's what i've done so far. i am wanting to make a banana. my daughter loves bananas. there are pictures of a peeled banana that i would love to do, but i am not sure how to do it.

here's what i've done so far.

a bag of chips (like ruffles), a sandwich, two cookies and a carrot. the sandwich has ham, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomato, and pickles on it. i think the tomato took the longest for me to make. well the bread took the longest but it was easy. i stuffed the carrot and bread with cotton balls. the cookies have two extra pieces of felt between them to give them some depth.

i made a waffle with butter. i haven't made the syrup for it yet. i need to make eggs and bacon too.


i also made a donut. i sewed the sprinkles on the frosting first, then pink frosting onto the donut. i sewed the inside of the donut first, then the outside. when i was half way around, i stuffed it with cotton balls. i just stuffed as i went along.

i made a petit four. i sewed it like i did the bread. i got ideas of what to do when i looked at images on google.

here's a plate of the desserts i made so far. the petit four, chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter cookie (which didn't really turn out as i saw it in my head), the donut, the fortune cookie (which i watched a tutorial on youtube to learn how), and the swiss roll.
this is what i spent most of my time doing last night. a cupcake. i have to make a blue cupcake too, so my son can play too. he would be sad if he didn't get a cupcake.

of course i couldn't make all this felt food without making some kimbobs. i just rolled each individual color in the middle and then wrapped them in white and then the black.

this really has been very fun. i am trying to figure out how to make actual round things (i.e. apples, pears, bananas and such). i am plan on making a hamburger, hotdog, and french fries. also, i need more sushi food. if you have any ideas or know where i can get more free felt food patterns, leave me a comment or email me.
