I saw a picture of these on a swap I was involved with on another craft site and decided my daughter had to have some oranges.

I made my own pattern based on what I saw. Hope this helps you bring joy to someone who likes play food.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Felt
  • Thread
  • Polyfill
  • Needle
  • Scissors

Steps (7 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Assemble your supplies.

  2. 2

    Cut out one circle in white. A slightly smaller circle in the color of the citrus fruit you are making. And a lozenge shape whose sides are the same length as half of your larger, white, circle in the color of your fruit's rind.

  3. 3

    Put your circles together! The color on top of the white.

  4. 4

    Now sew them together. A running stitch around the edge, another down the middle and then the detail running stitch to make sections in your citrus wedge. You will end up with a spoked wheel as seen to the left.

  5. 5

    Sew the lozenge rind to the circle making sure you line up the center stitch with the points on the lozenge. Leave a space to stuff!

  6. 6

    Stuff your almost complete citrus wedge with polyfill (or whatever other stuffing you think is appropriate).

  7. 7

    Stitch your wedge shut and try not to eat it!
