Large Apple & Pears Softies

I have been so inspired by my last post. It was an apple I made where I used my designs to decorate it. Anyway my mind has been racing thinking I could incorporate them into my shop.

I decided to make them very large, so they weren't as fiddly to sew, and of course use my own designs so they would look exactly as I would like them.

Here is the first.

A large Pear with some happy words, 'smile, 'laugh' & 'giggle', mixed with lots of hearts and my birds of course.

The next a large Apple.

Great for the boys, blue reds and stars, team with a vintage tricycle and an owl.

I am really happy with them both and of course have a few more designs floating around in my head. But most importantly they were so much fun to make.

Mad for Apples and Pears

I have just realised lately I have a thing for apples and pears??

It's funny when a trend starts happening and you're completely unaware of it.

I love these 2 fruits, they are my winter favourites, but didn't really think of them in a decorative sense until recently.

First it started with these wire lanterns from Mozi. So cute aren't they?

You may remember them on a book shelf recently when I blogged about my home library.

Then I bought these adorable fabric baskets from The Spotted Barn.

Now I have decided to make some myself!!! Which is really exciting, I will keep you posted on my progress here as I want to design my own fabric for some.

Patterns from retro mama.

I did a quick search on Etsy and found these other little wonders. I am thinking I need those fruit memo notes.

1. Fruit memo pads

2. Apple & Pear coasters
