How to Make Fabric Carrots

Create charming fabric carrots by cutting orange fabric into triangles, stitching with green fabric tops, stuffing, and either hand-sewing or using jute/twine for a quick finish.

Now, let’s get started on this creative journey together in step by step!

Materials Needed

  • Orange fabric
  • Green fabric
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Printable template
  • Hand needle and thread (or jute/twine for a shortcut)

Step 1: Cutting the Carrot Shapes

Begin by cutting out the templates. Place a triangle template on top of the orange fabric, ensuring the base faces the long edge.

Cut out one carrot, then flip the template and cut a second. Repeat this process for the third carrot. Sew the leftover fabric pieces together with the right sides facing, creating a fourth carrot.

Step 2: Attaching the Green Tops

Cut the green fabric into 2 by 8-inch strips. Place an orange fabric piece with the right side up, and position a green fabric strip on top with the right side facing down.

Stitch them together using a quarter-inch seam allowance. Fold the carrot in half with right sides facing, aligning edges and matching seams. Stitch along the raw edges using a quarter-inch seam allowance.

Step 3: Stuffing and Closing

Turn the carrot right side out, using a chopstick if necessary to fully poke out the tip. Fill the carrot with fiberfill stuffing to your desired fullness.

Adjust the stuffing away from the opening, and use a hand needle and thread to stitch around the top of the carrot near the seam.

Pull the thread tight to close the carrot, tie a knot, and secure the needle through the inside stuffing.

Tips from the Author:
If you prefer a quicker method, wrap a piece of jute or twine around the top of the orange section, tying a knot and finishing with a bow.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

For added realism, make vertical cuts into the green fabric at the top of the carrot to simulate the carrot tops.
