well…
falling like leaves!
and
seeing all these wonderful ideas got me excited
of my own
isn’t always something that I can just do
however that being said
I am really good at taking an idea
and running with it!
It popped into my head late last week
{after I’d been out on Pinterest pinning away}
that one of my favorite fabrics might make a
unique soft pumpkin ~
something a little different than
what others have created…
Most of my fabric is packed away however
I also had purchased a red toile and
decided to use that fabric, too.
I do like the oranges and reds and browns
and gold colors of fall
but
I’m really more of a soft summer colors
kinda gal and that’s why I chose these colors.
I saw pretty pumpkins made out of burlap
and luxuriously soft pumpkins
made out of velveteen
and that’s what gave me the idea to make
these
Toile de Jouy
fabric pumpkins.
I had also seen some fabric pumpkins
over on internet friend
Janet Coon’s Pinterest page
created out of pink chenille with pink yarn tied
around the stems…
Fabric Pumpkins
Directions:
Just and FYI…
**The red toile ended up being too tall, so I cut some off
and that became the smallest pumpkin.
**The blue toile pumpkin was created with a wider width
to begin with than the red one.

The photograph above shows the bottom of the red toile pumpkin and how the jute cording was crossed and was sewn to the fabric. |
*Stuff with polyester fluff material or leftover
fabric pieces and sew closed.
I went on a walk with Hubby and Yoda and
found this nice branch early this evening!
A couple of quick cuts later the “stem” for
the blue toile pumpkin was ready.

Gorgeous setting sun as these photos were shot last evening. |
* After finishing closing the top of your pumpkin,
decorate with ribbons, jewelry pieces, and lace
Hope you have enjoyed this fall pumpkin craft tutorial!
As always, feel free to share.
Also, I’d love it if you’d “follow along!”
Have a wonderful
rest of your week!
I’m going to sign off now and
go make a few more.
