A small collection in different colours would look so lovely, or perhaps you can make them as giveaways for your daughter’s party, or even as little ornaments for the Christmas tree (which is only a few months away - eeek!).

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.
