Children’s Felt Vegetable Garden
Garden Party
There’s just something about a fresh summer garden that really sparks your creativity. The planning, prep work, and labor before the reward of a final product remind me of the process we undergo when crafting. This handmade Felt Vegetable Garden is a charming way to bring those two worlds together, and honestly, what could be cuter? Whether you’re growing your own delicious greens or just dreaming of sun-drenched days in your garden, this charming felt set makes for a whimsical, outdoor escape or a sweet gift for the little green thumbs in your life.

Because this Felt Vegetable Garden is a slightly larger project, it’s best suited for our intermediate crafters or confident beginners. And since each veggie is stitched together using a simple blanket stitch, you can achieve a beautiful, handcrafted look with ease. If you're new to embroidery, don’t worry — check out our handy stitch guide to get you started.
What I love about this project is that it’s perfect for slow, cozy crafting. Bring it with you to your garden for a little afternoon delight, or stitch away while watching your favorite show. Also, these DIY Felt Vegetables offer an excellent opportunity to teach your little makers some embroidery basics. Once complete, these veggies make a wonderful addition to imaginary kitchens and playroom feasts while guiding them through the fundamentals of hand-sewing.
If you’re itching for more garden-themed projects to fill your summer craft calendar, we’ve got you covered! Take a gander at this Felt Tomato Plant, Fabric Vegetable Basket, and Garden Signs to create a whole play-garden scene!

Leave a CommentI absolutely loved making this project with my girls! One thing though is there are svg files for everything but the lettuce. Do those have a template somewhere? My girls really want to make them.
Thanks Tessa! I realized the old file was still being used – go ahead and redownload to get the updated template!
I used the SVG file and felt I purchased from here and even when I set it to put more pressure to cut it didn’t cut all the way through. Any tips?
We (and a lot of others) are finding that when Cricut does a software upgrade, the cut settings are wonky for a bit. Frustrating. We do recommend using the rotary blade to cut felt which sometimes the settings say fine point blade. You can change this. I do recommend that you use a test piece first. Then try their felt setting and if that does not work, use a fabric setting to find that sweet spot. Here is a mini course that Krista created that might have some tips for you in the cutting section. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/8-steps-to-create-any-felt-stuffie/
Hi this is Cami, I really want to make these, but wish that you didn’t have to sign up to be a member, to print the food templates!
Hi Cami, thanks for your comment. We have to charge for our work– how else would I pay myself and my staff to keep on designing these awesome projects for our members?! 🙂
Darn it, I bought the membership just for this! But this seems to be only pdf and not set up for SVG? =(
Hi Heather! Many of our felt projects were posted before the Maker came out, so we have to add SVG files to these older projects as requested by our members. All you have to do is ask 🙂 The SVG file for these vegetables is now available to download.
This is adorable! I’m far too lazy to blanket stitch each vegetable so I’m afraid the fabric glue will be making an appearance (again) here at my house. I love it and I think my girls will as well.
I understand! Fabric glue works great 🙂
We love these! Do you have a pattern for the dirt?
Thank you! No pattern for the dirt, but you can see a better photo of it here: https://liagriffith.com/printable-garden-sign-and-diy-garden-markers/
Love this so much! Just finished the beet and my stem was a little wonky. Any advice for covering the wire better/ more precise? Love this idea. “)
Hi Celeste. We love wonky! Nature isn’t perfect so we embrace imperfection in handmade work. However, if you’re really not happy with it, I would suggest cutting a thicker strip for the stem so that it covers the wire adequately. We would love to see pics of your finished project! Pop them on Facebook or Instagram and tag me @liagriffith so I can see how you got on. Good luck! Lia
I made this for my little girl for Christmas and I just LOVE it! But I just had a thought… A watering can would be perfect to go with it. Has anyone made a felt watering can and if so can I get the pattern?!?!?
Not yet but that is a great idea!
Has anyone made a felt watering can to go with this garden? I have made this garden for my little girl for Christmas and would love to have a watering can to go with it. If you have can you send me a link to the pattern?
This is such a cute idea Jennifer!! I will work on this for a craft for spring/summertime 😉
Where did you get your embroidery thread and what type of fiber fill did you use?
We got our embroidery thread from lots of different places, but you should be able to find some at any fabric store. I think we picked this one up from Joanns! And we used polyester fiber fill, which you should also be able to find at Joanns. Happy Crafting!!
I’m dying to make this for my daughter’s 2nd birthday and I was hoping you could tell me what the colour of the felts you used were. I can see felt pile in the “gather your materials step” of the tutorial but I’m having trouble making out which colours they are!
I can access the Woolfelt by Benzie site but the colour range is a bit overwhelming and I’m not sure where to start! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We used over 30 different colors, I would recommend mixing and matching as you wish. Hope you love it, we had so much fun with this project.
receive your emails, somtimes would like to do, but, can never find patterns, or a link to patterns.
how do I find them ?????
There is a button at the bottom of the posts, if you click it it will download the pattern for you. Enjoy!
Love this project — the colors are great and the idea is so simple, but elegant! I love the variety of projects that you share!

A small thing, but the link to the designs is labeled FELT VAGATABLE PATTERN instead of VEG….
