These cute little pumpkin pincushions are great fun for the Halloween season. They look good enough to eat! Each has been made up of eight lozenges shaped segments, which when sewn together, create the recognisable shape. They can be stitched up in no time using scraps from your sewing box, so would make a great gift for a stitchy friend.
Sew a pumpkin
Download the large pumpkin template, transfer onto card and cut out. Place onto the back of lime green fabric and draw around the shape using a pencil. Trim, and repeat with seven other complementary fabrics.
Arrange the fabrics, then with right sides facing, pin two lozenge shapes together and machine stitch down one side using a 6mm seam allowance. Finger press all the seams open. Continue pinning and sewing sets of two together, then machine stitch two sets to create two halves with four sections in each. Pin together and machine stitch all the way around the shape, leaving a 2cm gap
