We used our wool blend felt in light peach, ruby, cherry, and juniper to capture the yummy flavors of summer but feel free to make this creation your own. Don’t like Swiss? No problem.

Crafting Tip: Most of the elements of the sandwich are “flat,” making it ideal for learning basic embroidery stitches.
