the reprieve
from Summer
Wow, it's October already! Is it time to add some new decor items to your home? One of my favorite things are these stuffed pumpkins. The best thing is that they are soft, don't break and the kids can't hurt them or your furniture if they happen to be tossed around.
Renee's Stuffed Pumpkins
Supplies needed:
- 9 x 16 inch fall colored cotton
- fiberfill stuffing
- twig
- needle, thread & DMC Floss
Start with a 9 x 16" piece of cotton fabric. With right sides together fold in half and sew up the 9" side to make a tube. Using needle and thread (I prefer button thread) sew a gathering stitch around bottom edge, pull tight and knot off. Stuff with fiberfill. Sew gathering stitch around top, insert twig and pull tight enclosing the twig, knot off. You can add a dab of glue the top of pumpkin to help hold twig in. Wrap around the pumpkin with DMC floss to give it a indent. tie off. Tie some raffia to the twig and your finished.
Don't Sew? Order these on my fall decor page.
