Begin with a cutting out the fabric pieces using the pumpkin pattern template. Select one or two fabrics, keep it simple and have at least one solid fabric to reduce lines and busy prints.
Next sew your 7 cut pieces together, turn inside out, then begin stuffing with poly-fil. Remember to press and hold on photo to save to your device. Right click to save on those using a home computer/laptop.
Use the circle from the pattern and hand sewing to the bottom to close it off well. Finish stuffing the fabric pumpkin. Use a needle and thread to hand sewing closed the top panels edge.
Next, follow the video to see how to make a unique custom-designed burlap hat with concealed sides. You will need a large piece of burlap that is 13 inches long by 12 inches wide. The burlap will make the hat and the brim too.
Next, you'll be making the 5 Petal fabric 🌼 🌸 flower. Select fabric that complements your pumpkin colors. Now, cut 5 circles at 4.25 inches in diameter. Should you decide to make the center cut a 2.5 inch round circle to make a fabric yoyo. Each of these steps are demonstrated in the video. Visit the full tutorial
