Fabric carrot master class
To “harvest” such a “crop” with your own hands, you absolutely need to prepare the following working tools and “seed”:
- All kinds of pieces of fabric in orange and green tones;
- Sintipon for filling carrots;
- Paper, pencil, pattern ruler;
- Needles with thread;
- Scissors;
- Pins;
- DESIRABLE, but not required – a sewing machine.
When you are “armed” with all this, we will begin our “hard” work on sowing, and then collecting the “crop”:
1. Draw patterns for carrots on paper, cut them out with scissors;
2. We put the patterns on the fabric, folded with the face in the middle, pin it off with pins and cut it out, leaving seam allowances of about 1 cm:
3. Sew the workpieces on a sewing machine. If you do not have such “luxury”, then we sew a needle forward with a specially invented seam;
4. We turn out the details, carefully with a pencil we straighten all the bends and corners;
5. We stuff the craft very tightly – carrots with synthon:
6. Sew the very top of the carrot with a basting stitch. We insert the “curly forelock” carrots into the tightening hole, tighten everything well on a thread. We fasten it on a knot. If you wish, you can fix the “forelock” even more strongly by stitching the green “forelock” of the carrot with the carrot itself at the junction of the green “forelock”:
Having completed five to seven carrots according to the same principle, you can safely prepare your own kitchen composition or a whole garden bed with your own hands from felt.
