Ok, so I think I'm ready for fall, and in a pumpkin mood.... So here's today's tutorial!
Fabric Pumpkins
These ones will last you just as long as the pumpkin pets in the previous post, and are a little more lightweight. :) You'll need these three PDF's:
Pattern: Panel
Pattern: Stem
Tutorial Instructions
The finished size is about 7" around (not including the stem.)
You can enlarge the patterns to make different sized pumpkins. I'm working on one about twice as large and will post a separate pattern for that one very shortly. The larger one will also have a fabric stem as opposed to a felted wool stem. (Thanks to my friend Celia for letting me borrow some felt from her stash!!) Leave me a comment if you use it. I'd love to see what everyone creates! Happy crafting!
Updated: I added a new pumpkin stem pattern in a new post. There are two patterns. One is for a more straight stem that involves no blanket stitch, and the other is for a felt one that is a little more straight. Find the new post here.

Oh how FABULOUS is your blog??? I love this tutorial! Pumpkins are my favorite and this softie is perfect! I'll be linking to this project, not to mention adding you so I don't miss a thing!
I just love your blog. I cannot wait to make this pumpkin. I will be sure to post a pic to my finished product! Hopefully it will not take me too long! Thanks for the pattern.
I've downloaded the templates. Now I just need to buy some awesome fall fat quarters. I finally made your halloween wall art from last year. I'll have to post a pic when I get it hung up.
found you through craftzine. LOVE your stuff!
What a wonderful blog thank you so much for the pattern and tutorial on thses wonderful pumpkins!

Thanks for this fantastic pattern and tutorial. I had already downloaded a pattern for a fabric pumpkin, but after I saw this great project, I discarded the other pattern. Thanks again!
Nice and easy. One of the hardest things was deciding on what fabric to buy! Here's my final result. I think I'm going to reduce the pattern and make a small solid pumpkin of each fabric. Thanks again!
How totally fun! Here's another link to another type of pumpkin: http://bloggingwithholly.blogspot.com/2008/08/passionate-about-pumpkins.html
