Firstly, thank you to Whip Up, The Toy Society, and Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh for the linky love and mentioning Softiemaking.com! Welcome if you have dropped in via these fantastic websites!
Ku of Shishi Girl kindly emailed me about a few other free patterns she has on offer for you! First up, felt fruit - a strawberry (ichigo) and a persimmon (kaki) {image credit for both: Shishi Girl}:


These are easy to make and are hand-sewn. I’m looking forward to making these for my girls’ felt food collection.

Do you love apples? I love apples! Delicious to munch on and great in cakes. I also like apples in artwork and they seem to be a favoured motif in many indie craft designs. So perhaps it is no surprise that softie apples are pretty popular too - and here is a free pattern for you:

How awesome do they look all grouped together like that?! This is a fun way to use up your fabric scraps and you can also use this as a pincushion.
The instructions for the apples are in Japanese but the diagrams provide enough information so you don’t need to be able to actually understand the words. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the PDF template.
