Project - How to make
Tapestry
Pumpkins
With some sample upholstery,
drapery, or tapestry fabrics squares and some pretty ribbon you can stitch
up these elegant pumpkins for Thanksgiving. |
 |
For this project you will need:
-sample upholstery fabric squares
(some fabric stores will give samples for
free once the fabric is no longer in stock at their store.)
-orange fabric for back of pumpkin
-green fabric for stem
-pretty ribbon
-basic sewing needs
- stuffing / fiberfill |
 |
Make the Pattern: Depending on the
size of your upholstery square you may have to tape two pieces of
computer fabric together to make your pumpkin pattern. |
 |
Draw a pumpkin pattern large enough to
fit on the upholstery square. |
 |
Cut a 6" x 9" rectangle
piece of green fabric for the pumpkin stem. Fold in half and stitch one
long side and one short side. Turn
pretty side out through the small side that was not sewn. |
 |
Stuff pumpkin and stem with
fiberfill. Place stem in top of pumpkin at the opening. Hand stitch in
place and stitch opening closed. |
 |
Add a pretty ribbon to your
pumpkin. Your elegant tapestry pumpkin is finished!
Place them as pillows on your furniture or
in a basket in the corner with a pumpkin. |
