What to do
1. Draw around a small plate or bowl on your fabric, or draw a circle with a pair of compasses. Cut one quarter of the circle out.
2. If you use red polka dot fabric, you won't need to add the "seeds". If you just have plain red stuff, make little stitches all over your material, or sew on tiny little glass beads. It's easier to do this now than when it's sewn up.
3. Fold the red fabric in half, right sides facing.
4. Back stitch along the long edge of the strawberry until you get to about 1-2cm before the point. Instead of continuing to sew along the edge, sew a curved bottom on to your triangle, so once you turn it inside out it'll have a nice rounded end.
5. Fill with toy stuffing (or chopped up old tights if you're on a budget).
6. About 2mm from the top edge of the strawberry, do a running stitch all the way around. Now pull the thread so that the top of the fabric gathers together. You should be able to see your strawberry taking shape. Stitch across the top to hold this gathering in place.
7. Cut a few "leaves" from the green felt (I made two: one smaller, one larger), then sew them on to the top. Add a "stalk" and voila! All done.
