Instructions for one pumpkin: (If you have ever created a fabric yo-yo, then the technique will seem familiar to you.)
1. Use a plate, a bowl or similar item to trace a circle onto the backside of orange fabric.
2. Cut out the circle. Secure the thread end and hand sew a running stitch around the edge of the circle, about 5 mm or 1/4 inch from the edge.
3. Pull the threads together and stuff the pumpkin slightly while pulling the threads tighter. Continue pulling and stuffing until the pumpkin is full and soft. Once that is finished, glue a twig into the opening and secure and knot the end thread and cut off the remaining thread.
Plain orange fabric was used for this pumpkin.
A colorful orange fabric was used for this one. It makes an interesting pattern.
