Fabric Pumpkin Tutorial "step by step"
MATERIALS :
- Fabric Scrap
- Scissors
- Embroidery floss or pearl cotton
- Long Needle
- Fiber Fill
- Natural twine
STEP BY STEP :
1- For this medium size pumpkin, cut the fabric around 65x40cm. Keep this proportion in mind to make pumpkins any size you like.
2- Fold the fabric matching the short edges and sew into a tube with basic short running stitch.
3- Seam sew a large running stitch from the raw edge of only one side of your pumpkin, wrap the thread around at the end to make it stronger.
4- Turn your pumpkin right side out and fill with fiber fill.
5- Gather the fabric at the top and wrap it with a natural twine to make the stem, you can make it as long as you like, straight or curved.
6- Veins: use the floss and long needle to cross from the bottom through the top of the pumpkin while squishing it down a bit and then wrap the floss around to create some veins.
Et voilà!
