1. 1
   

   Cut out your felt. You will need yellow and green (for the top).

   You will be cutting out a vaguely butterfly shape and a long skinny piece with a bulbous bit at the end from the yellow to make the body of the squash.
   From the green you will cut a small circle and a short skinny bit for the top.

   
   
2. 2
   

   Fold the yellow in half pin it together to avoid slippage, and cut out a shape something like a summer squash. When you open it it will look like a butterfly (see above photo)

   The long shape in yellow should be approximately the length of the edge the shape to the left.

   
   
3. 3
   

   Begin sewing the long skinny shape to the butterfly shape with the bulbous end at the bottom of the squash shape. (the big end) Like this.

   
   
4. 4

   Once you have stitched up one side start back down the other. Make sure to leave a space to stuff and flip.

   
   
5. 5
   

   Stuff as full as you like.

   Stitch shut. (I recommend a hidden ladder stitch for this)

   
   
6. 6

   Straight stitch the green circle to the skinny green rectangle.

   (I am so sorry I don't have a photo of this... I forgot to snap it in my rush to complete the five squashes I was making)

   
   
7. 7

   Flip the little "cap" you have made inside out. Place a small about of stuffing within.

   
   
8. 8
   

   Backstitch down the cap onto the summer squash on its head (the small end) wherever you feel is best.

   
   
9. 9
   

   Voila you are finished with your little squash. Ratatouille anyone?

   I guess I will have to post a zucchini next yeah?
