Thanksgiving and Halloween Pumpkin Pillow Decoration

This week I am sharing a pumpkin that will allow you to decorate for Halloween and Thanksgiving. There are two sizes available. When I started this idea, I thought that plain orange and green fabric was the answer. I soon discovered that using a calico, with a non distinct print, gave the pumpkins a more realistic appearance. Create an entire pumpkin patch by using various orange prints. I would love to try this project with some of the beautiful fall prints that are available.
Being familiar with soft sculpture techniques will help you create these pumpkins but they are also a great way to experience how soft sculpture transforms a stuffed item.
As you can see by the photos, there will be some variations in sizes and shapes due to how the "pumpkin" is stuffed. As with any soft sculpture project, no two will be perfectly a like.
