This week AFC introduces our second in what we hope will be a long line of Downloadable PDF patterns, and we know your going to love it. We proudly introduceShrimp Stir Fry! Yes that’s right the very same Shrimp Stir Fry that sold out as a kit THREE times in pre-sale and was our #1 best-selling kit over the last year! We just could not keep this one in stock, take a look and I am sure you’ll see why.
We now have the pattern in a full color INSTANTLY downloadable PDF, Paper pattern(with full color photo booklet) and the ‘just enough’ felt pack, which does not contain the pattern but all the felt needed to make everything in all the right colors at a great price!
And what’s a great meal without dessert? Included with both the PDF and Pattern you will find our Felt Fortune Cookie pattern. But as loyal blog readers you’ll also get it here, plus read on to find out how you can win the PDF Shrimp Stir-Fry pattern FREE!
Supplies needed: (will make up to 4 cookies)
1/8 yard or 1 9×12 sheet cream colored felt
Scrap white felt
Black fabric marker or embroidery thread
Coordinating thread
Optional: Felt highlighter and shading kit in Fresh Baked.
Step 1:
Cut your cream felt into 2 circles for each cookie (template at bottom of post)
Cut out white scrap into fortune size if using marker you will only need 1 per cookie if embroidering your message you will need 2.
Step 2:
Write or embroider your message on white fortune; if you are embroidering it you want to add another white piece to back to hide stitches, you can either stitch or glue these pieces together.
Step 3:
Attach completed fortune to the right upper side of one of the circles as shown:
Step 4:
Place both circles together and fold two rounds together as shown and sew along rounded parts leaving bottom edges open. (trim top part so it looks even if needed)
Step 5:
Push bottom center inward and push cookie together until your happy with the look then place a stitch or two to hold. (You can also use felt glue for this but you will need a clothes pin to hold it in place until it dries.)
Highlighting:
Highlighting creates an amazingly realistic look here’s how using our new Felt Highlighter in Fresh Baked.
Lightly highlight entire cookie with ‘golden’ adding a bit more to edges and curves.
Follow up by highlighting where the cookie meets and a small portion of the edges in ‘toasted’
Highlighting will become permanent in 2-3 hours.

it’s a tie for me between:
you will find love on flag day
and
help! i’m being held captive in a chinese bakery!
I found so many fortunes in cookies that I either really liked or thought were way off the mark for me that I made a little book of them. This is my favorite off-the-mark fortune so far: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladerunnerpdx/2829299181/in/set-72157607121627269/
Suffice to say, I’m not “quiet and unobtrusive”.
I love this one: Don’t waste your life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.
I got one one time that said ask your mother.
I still have the fortune I got that said: “A scholars ink lasts longer than a martyrs blood.” I got that one at just the right time. I was wondering if I should go back to college and take some writing courses or keep working at a well paying job I hated and it helped modivate me to go back to school. I now have it framed in my den.
Great Idea American Felt and Craft! My 10 year old daughter and I like these:
“You are free to invent your life.”
“You are going to have some new clothes.”
“Your mother loves you”
The very best one i ever got was,
Don’t look where you fall, but where you slipped
Words to live by!
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
There is yet time enough for you to take a different path.
A friend is a present you give yourself
I like “None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.”
Eat Cake First!
Be careful in the choice of your enemies.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
You will receive a fortune cookie
Wonderful things are coming to you
Cute Project. Here are my suggestions
Have a beautiful day.
If you continually give, you will continually have.
Say hello to others. You will have a happier day.
I appreciate a good lesson when I read my fortune cookie, here is one I got a couple years ago that I keep in my wallet.
Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.
GREAT WORDS TO LIVE BY!
A truly rich life contains love and art in abundance.
Make things use FELT!
Love this Blog! Thanks for all the inspiration!!!!! Thanks for the GREAT STORE TOO!
A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.
