Everybody is making them, so I just had to try my hand at
some rustic little fabric 'punkins'.
First, I chose some 'punkin' looking fabric.
(Paula~you may recognize a couple of these as
my Peter Rabbit Carrots from this spring!)
~
Then I cut out six football shaped pieces for each of the
three different sized punkins.
~
Next, I stitched the six pieces together,
leaving a small opening at the top for turning...
and stuffing.
I also cut some leaves for the tops out of green flannel.
stitched closed. I wanted the stems to have a little bend, so I
cut some small gauge wire to size, curled the edges so there would be no
pokey's and inserted the wire into the stem center.
I stuck the little stem into the opening of the punkin,
ran a gathering stitch around the opening and
cinched it up to the stem, securing them together
with a couple more stitches.
Then I added the leaf.

Hi Lady Farmer,
These are so cute! I think I'm going to make some of these with my daughters. Did you have a pattern or did you just cut football shapes?
That Martha!

Dear Lady Farmer,
Those are just adorable!! I love them :) They came out wonderful and you make it look so easy. What a great idea curling the wire and placing it in the leaves. That Martha!
Have a blessed day!
