I’ve given myself this challenge.
Make some Fall pumpkins!
Sounds easy, doesn’t it?
So on Sunday afternoon I made another pumpkin.
This one is made from a remnant of heavier upholstery fabric.
And who knew a rectangle would make a prettier pumpkin than a circle! I followed a tutorial from Sewing for Women blog HERE.
I made leaves but decided not to use them. I had a bit of felt to put around the stem and that looked better.
The necklace was on my desk as part of another craft project! lol And I think it looks perfect draped around the pumpkin.
I wouldn’t usually say to look this close to my sewing but I want you to see the sweet charms on this necklace….there’s even an acorn in the center. (and yes, it’s a $1 thrift store find)
I think everything looks pretty with old books.
I’m joining Coastal Charm ,

and Inspire me Tuesday .
But do you think I’m ready to cut the velvet?
Not yet! heehee!

Good looking pumpkin.
Great pumpkin! And it looks perfect with the old books. I have been wanting to make some fabric pumpkins too, but I just haven't found the time "_ Thanks for the link to the tutorial - will definitely have to check it out. Have a beautiful day, Friend!
Gorgeous pumpkin and how clever of you to adorn it with the sweet necklace! Yes, I love the look with the old books!
Enjoy your day!
This looks beautiful! The rich fabric and the necklace really sets it off!
I'm totally in love with the idea of putting a charm bracelet on the pumpkin. I'm going to have to 'borrow' this idea. Brilliant!
Oh it is crafty. And you have a real imaginary mind to deco. Good job!
Sensational! The color of that fabric is perfect, and the design in it looks great with the necklace. Bet you could sell those.
That upholstery pumpkin is yummy in orange. LOVE it sitting along side the vintage books!!!The shelf is decorated perfect for fall.

What a great look! I've got to get autumn decorating.
It's a wonderful pumpkin and what a great find the necklace was. The vignette with old books looks very cozy for a fall day!
Cool fabric for a pumpkin...love it on your bookcase and oh that necklace is so fun on it!! Happy Fall!

That fabric has just the right touch of fall - the right 'old' look - for a beautiful pumpkin!
I like it a lot! I adore autumn's colors. That jewelry is the crowning touch!

You are such a kindred spirit, I thing everything looks better with old books too.
Your pumpkin is absolutely gorgeous. You are so talented, I admire your handiwork. As much as I can design fabric, I can't thread a bobbin or sew a stitch.
Have a beautiful evening.

I love your pumpkin and am in awe of your thrifty dollar hunting skills. I have this little acorn addiction.
I am busy out playing on the 31 days of halloween hops but wanted to be sure you had heard about the altered witch shoe challenge.
