I cut out the geenral shape of pieces that I needed to make sure I had enough fabric. I used sewing needles as sewing pins for the time being, since I did not have my full sewing kit at the time.
The image below is all the pieces cut out to sizeandlayedoutonthefloor.
Since I did not have my full sewing kit, including a sewing machine with me at the time, I settled with hand-sewing a double running stitch for the leaves. A double running stitch is when you sew a running stitch one way, then you sewing in and fill the gaps on the way back.

I use a sewing machine often, but I’ve never hand-sewn; I’m always afraid that I’ll hurt myself or get too impatient. But there’s a certain look to seams when it has been hand-sewn, and you can tell that someone put time and effort into it. I’m sure your project end up looking amazing, and I’m excited to see it!
Working on fabric by hand-sewing methods is really impressive! Looking forward to seeing how it will grow into a ripe and delicious tomato during the process.
