Looks cute, and I made it that way, then realized that the first time the kid pulls on the green felt it's just going to rip apart. I like your idea much better and will make another one with a clip top!Beverley Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116488431999831233.post-16745222813941640112010-12-15T12:04:54.728+11:002010-12-15T12:04:54.728+11:00I love my felt carrots Kym!

They are to be used by a 5 year old doing a character ballet dance in a competition. She is Peter Rabbit. Tutorial is fab!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116488431999831233.post-57906528519594666882010-08-20T07:24:42.990+10:002010-08-20T07:24:42.990+10:00Sheer perfection.

I push the stem in through the carrot opening, then pull tight on the gathering thread so that it is closed up around the stem. Then I hold it in place with one hand while poking the needle through the stem with the other hand. Once it's through the stem, if it has come open a bit you can pull on the thread again to close it up more. Just hold on to it fairly firmly for the first couple stitches through the stem, then it should stay in place pretty well. I hope that makes it a bit clearer!Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785815044604548330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116488431999831233.post-32622400773694386892010-07-17T08:13:05.408+10:002010-07-17T08:13:05.408+10:00Love this pattern.

Do I tie off the running stitch and then attach the stem or not tie off and use the orange threaded needle to attach the stem/close up the hole?<br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116488431999831233.post-7424541770874598462009-07-28T17:49:37.063+10:002009-07-28T17:49:37.063+10:00oh fun!!oh fun!!tantehildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497444632194337983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116488431999831233.post-66012635032561722562009-05-12T08:16:00.000+10:002009-05-12T08:16:00.000+10:00you and I seem to be on the same page at the momen...you and I seem to be on the same page at the moment!!!
