It's all about the pumpkins...


These little pumpkins were really fun to make.

Doesn't take much to make them; all you need is just a few fabric scraps and fusible Peltex.


I love the little frayed edges.


All I did was iron my fabric onto fusible Peltex. 
I then drew and cut out the pumpkin, leaves and stem.
Once they were all cut out, I sewed a few stitches to define the pumpkin, the stem and the veins on the leaves. No embroidery machine necessary.
I then layered the pieces and used a button to "tie" it all together.

Side view...

 

You can see from the back view, it looks a little messy.


Not to worry.....


No one will ever see the back!

Those are adorable! You really make me want to sew again, even if it's just the little things! I was always THE 'messiest' sewer! Love your new header on your blog, too! I have checked out just about every post you have, and they are all fantastic! Have a great day!
