Today’s video shows how to make a velvet tomato. This is the same shape for making a pumpkin or apple as well.

Remember, you don’t need to cut these exactly. If you don’t have a printer, draw these by hand as big or a small as you want. Cut 3 or 4 or 5 leaf shapes for your tomato or apple or pumpkin.

I want to thank everyone who purchased an e-publication this past week. It was a nice relief to see little orange Etsy icons appear on my screen. Support like this is both helpful financially and emotionally for artists & craftspeople right now.
I hope you are enjoying the videos I’ve been doing. I find they help motivate me to do something each day. I am trying to balance what I talk about between millinery, FanU, and other things. The videos are single takes. So, I hope you don’t mind the raw footage. I could do fully edited videos with picture in picture, but I let my Wevideo lapse.
If you or someone you know is looking for something to read or a project while they can not leave home, I have a few e-publications available. The balloon bag and the pillow ball pincushion can be made out of most people’s stash or even scraps.
I have been sewing straw millinery the past few weeks. I am going slower than usual. After much indecision and some guidance from friends, I ordered a printer and scale so I can ship from home, with the Post Office picking pieces up. I will start listing millinery as soon as my new printer and scale arrive.
In the meantime, if you are interested, I started a Patreon account:
Today is the first day of a multi-video look at recreating velvet vegetables and fruit. Today, I show you the basket of velvet vegetables I made in 2016 for the Agricultural Society Fair. In the coming days, I will share how to make some of these.
