3) Trace and cut out one mouth, one nose and
two eyes from black felt.
4) Trace the four lines onto the right side
of one of the felt pumpkins using your fabric
marker. Then pin the batting to the
back side of this piece.
5) Using orange thread, top stitch over the
lines you marked on the orange felt sewing
through the batting as you do so. This is
the front or face of your pumpkin.
6) Lay out the eyes, nose and mouth on the
front of your pumpkin. Pin them in place.
Top stitch around each of these shapes using
black thread.
7) Pin the two stem pieces together and sew
around using a 1/4" seam allowance and keeping
the bottom open. Trim the corners and
right side out. Place aside for the
moment.
8) Place your second pumpkin piece on top of
the one with the face so that the face is
sandwiched between the two layers. Pin in
place.
9) Stitch around the pumpkin using 1/4" seam
allowance and leaving the top open.
10) Clip curves. Trim batting close to
the seam. Right side out.
11) Fold the top 1/4" or so to the inside of
the pumpkin and slip the bottom of the stem
between the two layers. Pin in place.
Then, top stitch across the top of the pumpkin
using orange thread and stitching the stem in
place as you go.
 12)
Hand stitch an O ring to the back of your
pumpkin to be used as a hanger.
Hint:
*For a more professional look, use an iron to
press the edges all the way around the pumpkin.
* If there are any marks remaining on the
front of your pumpkin from when you drew them,
follow the manufacturers directions for removing
them or use a damp cloth to wipe them off.
Read the instructions, some markers just fade
after 24 hours.
