We all know and love the fabulous Kari at UCreate! Well, she had a brilliant idea! She plans a craft each month that everyone can make and share--just like an online craft club! She calls this "Create With Me!" I adore this idea, and my jaw dropped when she planned September's craft: Fabric pumpkins!
I actually followed this very tutorial to create my own fabric pumpkins last year. I think of these pumpkins so fondly... they are my 7 happy little friends. Last fall, I really ventured into my "crafty" side, and these pumpkins really made me fall in love with crafting. I even whipped up another set of pumpkins for a friend! So they are definitely among my favorite craft of all time! Just looking at them makes me want to make more...
This is my favorite pumpkin! I love how the fabric gives it texture. It's the perfect pumpkin size, too.... I want to pick a real pumpkin just like this one! 🙂
I didn't use the fancy fabrics that Holly originally used in her tutorial! I shopped JoAnn's red tag fabrics, and I love all of the variety of colors and patterns.
Don't they just look happy sitting on the strand of leaves?!
Each pumpkin is tied with a little ribbon bow.
Okay, if these pumpkins don't make you feel "Fallish", I don't know what will!! You can follow Holly Brimhall's tutorial by clicking here. These are fun and easy to sew! Have fun!
Very cute! I love all of the colors you used. So festive!

Alison! Thanks so much for playing this month…your pumpkins are awesome! I just went to get the fabric to make mine {hope mine turn out this cute}! Can't wait to share these in the gallery this month…so fun!
Cute! Nice job.
Adorable! I love the ribbon accents. This reminds me that I have GOT to get the rest of the fall decorations up… and MADE!! 🙂
How cute! I'll have to look and see if I have some fabric that would work for these!
Those pumpkins are so cute.
Hi Alison–
Darling as usual… I held off buying something similar at Targe' today… so maybe I'll make these instead (-:
Hope you link up tomorrow at A Crafty Soiree!
