Gorgeous Strawberries

These strawberries only took minutes to create. The beauty of these is that you can create them any size you wish from any fabric you wish and add your choice of embellishments. Each strawberry is a half circle folded in half and sewn down the straight edge. Fill with fibre fill and secure by sewing a running thread around the top, pull tight and secure off. Add embellishments of your choice.
