I totally planned ahead today and the Day 2 craft is complete!!
Fabric Pumpkins
I started with five fabric scraps and used a plate to trace the circle with a gold pen. I'm fancy like that. And yes, those are owls on my fabric scissors.
After I cut out the circles I moved to my chair. I love doing crafts on my lap. With the exception of sewing, if the craft doesn't fit on my lap I don't love it.
I ran a basting stitch around the perimeter of the circle.
Pulling the thread taught gathers the top of the pumpkin. I added some poly-fil that we had laying around.
TIP: gathering the fabric around my finger worked to keep the batting in side the pumpkin while I closed the gap.
Then I just made some blanket stitches to connect the gathered fabric.
Cute!
The I cut strips of felt for the stem, rolled it, and sewed it to the top of my pumpkin.
TADA!!!
I'm going to use these little guys in an upcoming craft. VERY exciting. If you end up making some for a Turkey Day centerpiece or wreath I would LOVE to see it.Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
