Felt Food: Sandwiches

Here is the first of a series of felt food tutorials. I have been wanting to make felt food for a while, and finally did it today. Miss Mia is going to have a surprise toy to come home to from preschool today!

I thought sandwiches would be a good thing to make, because there is actually some roleplay involved in making the sandwich as well as pretending to eat it. I am pretty happy with the results, and with the exception of the bread slices all the pieces were very easy to make, beginner sewers project!

The tomatoes, cheese, ham and lettuce were all made simply by cutting out the shape from felt and then top stitching. The tomato and lettuce are a little but more complicated.




The pita pocket is exactly what it looks like, 2 half circles stitched together to make a pocket.

The bread was a little bit more complicated. Here are the instructions:

1. For each slice of bread you will need 2 rectangles for the outsides of the slices and a long strip for the crust. You may need to sew 2 thin strips together to make it long enough.




2. Pin and sew the "crust" to one of the 2 sides, right sides together. Pin and sew the other side to the crust to make the slice, leaving a gap to put the stuffing into.




3. Turn it the right way out and stuff. Handsew the gap closed.




Now you are ready to make a sandwich!
