  Step 1

  Cut out your felt. You will need yellow and green (for the top).

  You will be cutting out a vaguely butterfly shape and a long skinny piece with a bulbous bit at the end from the yellow to make the body of the squash.
  From the green you will cut a small circle and a short skinny bit for the top.

• 

  Step 2

  Fold the yellow in half pin it together to avoid slippage, and cut out a shape something like a summer squash. When you open it it will look like a butterfly (see above photo)

  The long shape in yellow should be approximately the length of the edge the shape to the left.

• 

  Step 3

  Begin sewing the long skinny shape to the butterfly shape with the bulbous end at the bottom of the squash shape. (the big end) Like this.

• Step 4

  Once you have stitched up one side start back down the other. Make sure to leave a space to stuff and flip.

• 

  Step 5

  Stuff as full as you like.

  Stitch shut. (I recommend a hidden ladder stitch for this)

• Step 6

  Straight stitch the green circle to the skinny green rectangle.

  (I am so sorry I don't have a photo of this... I forgot to snap it in my rush to complete the five squashes I was making)

• Step 7

  Flip the little "cap" you have made inside out. Place a small about of stuffing within.

• 

  Step 8

  Backstitch down the cap onto the summer squash on its head (the small end) wherever you feel is best.

• 

  Step 9

  Voila you are finished with your little squash. Ratatouille anyone?

  I guess I will have to post a zucchini next yeah?
