Etsy Shout-Out -- Felt Food Fun!

I am a felt food fanatic! It's becoming a compulsion really, right up there with my handmade soap addiction. There is no shortage of adorable patterns available for sale on Etsy. One of my favourite shops is Bugga Bugs. Her patterns are so adorable, creative and easy to follow. All you need is a sewing machine and the basic knowledge of how to use it! The patterns are delivered promptly (via e-mail) and are extremely well-organized and easy to read. If you are a beginner, I would start out with the donuts.

 

Normally I do not make every single item in a given set of patterns. Sometimes I can find a non-felt item to substitute. Take the Happy Meal -- My kids received McDonald's gift cards for Christmas and the cards came in mini french fry holders. Rather than make my own holder from felt, my lazy side won out and I just use the cardboard one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did something similar with I made popcorn.  I found this adorable popcorn holder at the local dollar store. 

 

 

 

 

 

Another excellent source for patterns is Gulf Coast Cottage PDF. I really need to get these two new patterns!

Okay, so that last one isn't food, but it's still adorable!

Don’t let me forget about Little Crickets!  I received a PIF pattern from her when she first opened her shop, and it’s simply adorable!  Look at this campout set – I love it!
