Apple Pattern Help
At my local craft shop there is a little display of stuffed fabric
applies. They are made with five or six pieces(like the ones used to cover styrofoam balls), then stuffed. Cinnamon stick inserted in the top forms the stem, and a little quilted leaf is attached. The pattern apparently was in an old magazine (perhaps 10 years ago). I am thinking that the shape of the pieces has to be somewhat different (perhaps elongated somehow) in order to achieve the apple shape (not round). Anyway, sort story made long, does anyone have instructions for this apple, or can you point me toward it. I've googled, but am not having much luck (lots of recipes for stuffed apples that sound delicious, though!) Please help if you can. Thank you. |

Howdy!
here's a pattern for a felt apple: http://www.rusticprimitives.com/ApplesPattern.htm You can improvise w/ the cinnamon stick and make a little leaf. Depending on the color of the fabric/felt, you could make a tomato, pumpkin, apple, pomegranite, orange, grapefruit-- etc.. ;-D Good luck! Ragmop/Sandy wrote in message oups.com...

These are all wonderful suggestions, and I do believe that I will be a
busy girl in the next little while. I always make a Christmas ornament for my nieces and nephew, and I think two or three apples would look nice hanging on a tree. Thank you all. Megan |

My Guild made apples to sell last year. We cut fan shapes, about six
inches high by eight inches wide, sewed into a tube, ran a running stitch on both edges, and gathered to an apple shape. Stuff with a little batting, and run a thread from center bottom to center top to shape.Hot glue a stick (cinnamon or tree) in the center, and add a leaf (two green fabrics fused together or felt). They were green, red, and yellow, and sold like hot cakes. I showed mine in fabric bowls. (They sold, too!) Nancycog in MD |

Thanks, Jennifer, I didn't remember posting this before. Got the
measurements a little wrong, but the idea is the same. Nancycog in MD |
