Cute little pumpkins to sew.

This is a free Cricut Maker sewing pattern just for you!

If you like velvet over buffalo check, sew velvet pumpkins. See where I’m going with this? You could even use up your scraps for scrappy pumpkins. How cute would that be?

This project is even easier to sew since you will be using the Cricut Maker to cut the fabric pieces.

Fabric buffalo check pumpkins galore. Make as many little buffalo check pumpkins to fill baskets to your hearts desire.

Or fill trays or dough bowls. Oh, the possibilities!

I used some sticks I picked up from our yard to use for the pumpkin stems.

All I did was plunge the stick into the middle of the pumpkin after it was stuffed. I left the hole used to stuff the pumpkin, open. This allowed me to insert the stick for the stem. I didn’t even glue the stick inside although you could certainly do so for stability. Call me a lazy crafter.

Instructions

Option: Use the printable card below.

1. Use my free cutting file for the design file in Design Space.  This file also marks a 1/4 inch sewing line using the Cricut Washable Fabric Pen. I highly recommend using this to mark your fabric. It makes sewing so much easier.
   • Place fabric right side down on the pink mat, so the pen markings will be visible while sewing. Place the fabric marker in the pen holder of the Cricut Maker. Using the Cricut Maker and the rotary blade, cut the fabric. You will need to cut three sets of pumpkin pieces for a total of 6 pieces.

2. Once the fabric pieces are cut, take them to the sewing machine. Line up two pieces, right sides together. I like to use clips to keep my fabric pieces together while sewing.

3. Sew along one side, starting and stopping at the point of each piece. Sew on the marked seam lines. This is very important when sewing all the sides together.
   • Sew one more piece to this set, right sides together. This will give you one half of your pumpkin. Repeat with the last three pieces to make the other half of the pumpkin.

4. Take the two halves and lay them right sides together. Clip the sides together, so they don’t shift. Sew the sides in one continuous circle, leaving about two inches at the top for the opening.

5. Turn pumpkin right side out.
6. Stuff the pumpkin with polyfill till firm.

7. Cut three pieces of twine or yarn, 12 inches long.

8. Wrap one piece of twine over one seam of the pumpkin all the way around from top to bottom.  The top of the pumpkin is where the hole is that was used to stuff the pumpkin. Place twine along the seam line. Tie off the twine at the bottom after pulling tightly on the pumpkin to shape it. Repeat for the other two pieces of twine, placing the twine along the other two seam lines around the pumpkin.
9. Don’t sew up the hole in the pumpkin top. Place a stick through that hole, in between the triangle formed by the twine, for the stem of the pumpkin. Add a ribbon bow if desired.
10. Your fabric pumpkin is now finished!
