Need a helping hand encouraging your kids to eat their greens? Little chefs will love playing with these fun foodie friends by Chloe Hailwood. It might even make them a little more inclined to eat their greens at dinner time, too! Feel free to experiment with the templates – you can play with both the size and the colours to create a whole trolley full of yummy veggies.
Stitch a carrot
Download and print the templates from sewmag.co.uk. Cut out one carrot from orange felt and three leaves from green. Make long snips in all of the leaves down to the stem to create a feathered effect. Pinch each stem in half and make a few small stitches to hold.
Embroider a face onto the centre of the carrot. Attach two small pink circles for cheeks. Stitch randomly spaced, horizontal lines all over the carrot. Fold in half lengthways, right sides together. Sew the longest edges together and turn through to the right side.
Using a continuous length of strong thread, make small running stitches around the top opening and pull to gather. Insert the leaf stems into the opening, with the folds facing the front. Pull the thread tightly and make small stitches to hold in place. Add some more small stitches through the stems.
