How to make  a Pumpkin Doily from fabric Yo-Yo's

For this cute little Pumpkin Doily made from fabric yo-yo's, you will need just a simple circle pattern and scraps of fabric! It's all made by hand sewing...

 
First you will need scraps of green and orange fabric.  Then you will need to make a yo-yo pattern. Find a circle object that you can use for your pattern and trace it.  What ever size your pattern is, the yo-yo will be about 1/2 the size when finished. My pattern is a 5 1/2" circle.
Pin and cut as many yo-yo's as you would like, depending on what shape and size you want your pumpkin to be.

Now let's make a yo-yo. It really is rather simple. Do a running stitch on the outer edge of your circle with your thread doubled.

 

 

Once you are near the end (where you began at the circle) gently pull the thread tight and the outer edge of the circle will begin to pull up and meet in the center.

 

 

With your fingers, move and flatten the yo-yo until you like the way it looks.  Knot the thread a couple of times to hold the yo-yo in place.

 

Once all your yo-yo's are sewn, place them on a flat surface the way you want them to be sewn together for your pumpkin.

On the flat side of the yo-yo, tack the yo-yo's together one at a time on the outer edges as shown in the photo until all yo-yo's are sewn together.

Your adorable pumpkin doily made from fabric yo-yo's is done!
