I decided to post this workshop - and who knows - may be it will urge someone to try a new craft?... It's not too easy to make, but nothing exceptional either. I've tried to take a picture of every single step, hopefully it came out clear.
Ok. Step 1.
What we will need?
In that picture I forgot one piece of a pattern - the top of the carrot. But you can see it on step 3.
And don't forget that patience is the most important part.
Step 2.
Cut two pieces of carrot from the orange felt. Allow two millimeters from the edge for the seam.
Step 3.
This is what you have for now.
Step 4.
Now sew together the two pieces of carrot.
Step 5.
When you have finished sewing the carrot cut a few centimeters off the top and turn inside out.
Step 6.
Fill up the carrot with the fiberfill tightly - it have to be pretty springy.
Step 7.
Now make a seam all over the edge:
Step 8.
Close it tightly.
Step 9.
Ok, now we are going to make the green tops.
Cut four identical pieces of green felt according to the pattern. No need to leave an indent for the seams here.
Step 10.
Now it's the hardest part - you have to stitch together each two pieces all over the edge. And it has to be neat. May be you won't get it right from the begining, but don't give up - you need just a little bit of practice. Start stitching a few millimeters above the edge - you'll need it to attach to the carrot.
Step 11.
When it's done, put the green tops and the carrot together and take a look - isn't it beautiful? I'm sure that when you get to this part you'll feel proud of youself!
Step 12.
In step 10 I've said that it's a hardest part, but actually, this is the real one. Sorry.. Your task is to stitch down the green tops to the body. Be very accurate.
Step 13.
Now give your carrot a bit of realistic look - take a brown string and make a few eyes all over the carrot's body.
Congratulations! You've made it.
