This fun and scrappy project can turn into a pillow or a placemat, whichever you decide on, it will surely look absolutely lovely. Read down below for the full instructions and watch the video tutorial for more details.
Materials:
Body (choose up to 6 different colors)
Body: ⅛ yard of fat quarters (choose up to 6 different colors)
- 1 square fabric @ 2½”, for the stem
- 1 rectangle fabric @ 2½ x 5½”, for the leaf
Other supplies you’ll need:
- Backing fabric
- Batting fabric
- Poly-fil stuffing
- Scissors or rotary cutter and a cutting mat
- Fabric pins
- Marking pen or chalk
- Needle and thread
- Sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Cut the fabric into 6 strips at about 2½ x 10½ inches and sew 4 strips together, then for the remaining 2 strips, sew 2 squares at the top and bottom diagonally as shown in the video, and trim off the fabric outside the stitching line. Press the seam at the back, then press open the fabric, and set them aside. Press the body of the pumpkin or the 4strips as well, then attach the 2 strips on each side of the body to complete the pumpkin, and trim the edges evenly.

Step 2
Get the fabric for the stem, then sew the pieces together, and press the seam open. For the leaf, sew the pieces together, then press them to seam open, and sew the stem and leaf together. Once done attaching, lay the strip on top of the body, then sew them together, and press nicely. Now, you can sew this into a pillow by adding the batting and backing fabric, then filling it with poly-fil stuffing, or you can turn it into a placemat.
