These are the larger scale strawberries I made for my sister Kim's day care kids. I embroidered seeds on the outsides of the berries then stitched them up the sides and stuffed them with fiber fill.

I stitched the tops closed then stitched on the green stem caps. They didn't look nearly as cute until I put the stem caps on them.

Now those I would have done different.

More like the little strawberries you'd buy for your pincushion to sharpen the pins.

Something like, not a half circle but a third circle, seam up the straight side, stuff it and then gather the top. Put the stem on it to cover the puckers and then do french knots for the seeds. It would be more 3D.

I'll try that.
