Supplies Needed
Fabric fat quarter for pumpkin
3" scrap of green fabric for stem
scissors
poly fill stuffing
need and thread
paper, pen
scissors, pinking sheers
Using your fat quarter trace around a circular object, (I used a big bowl) Cut out the circle after you have traced it.
With an iron press 1/4" seam
With your sewing machine sew along the seam
With a needle and thread sew a base stitch along the out side of the fabric
When you get all the way around, put on the thread to gather the fabric. Stuff the fabric with poly-fill stuffing, do not tie off the thread.
Now you can make the stem, on the wrong side of your fabric draw a stem (the top should be on the fold)
Cut out the stem
Sew right sides together leaving the bottom opened
Turn right side out
Stuff stem with poly-fill stuffing leaving about 3/4" unstuffed
Place stem in pumpkin and finish gathering the fabric around the stem
Once fabric is gathered around the stem sew though the stem and pumpkin fabric making sure you go all the way around
You can knot your thead but to not cut it
Now it's time for the leaves I used heat and bond (you can use thing kind of two sided iron-on adhesive) follow the directions for your adhesive
I drew two leaves on a piece of paper then I cut them out
Pin the leaves to your leave fabric
Cut out with pinking sheers
Sew the leaves on to the pumpkin
