Tots can play baker with this Felt Mince Pie Trio. Little chefs will adore playing the role of Christmas host with this plate of mouth-watering pies – and it comes with none of the stress of burnt pastry and missing ingredients!

To make up each pastry case, take one end of the inner curve of the felt body and machine or hand stitch it to the outer edge of the circle base by placing the edges together, then sewing all the way around. Allow the ends to overlap by 5mm, sew up the seam and cut any excess off. Leave the wrong side out. Fold the whole piece in half and at both ends, sew a straight seam from the bottom edge of the body that starts at 1mm and ends at the top edge at 4mm; do not sew into the circle base.
