1. Fabric Pumpkins - October Project of the Month

   Posted on 7:00am Wednesday 1st Oct 2014

   Hi everyone, here is fabulous Hallowe'en and Autumn themed project for you - fabric pumpkins!

   You will need: orange fabric 8inch x 16 inch, brown for the stork, 3 inch by 4 inch, stuffing, cord or jute string, hot glue gun & a needle with a big eye.

   

    

   Step 1: fold the fabric in half and sew the short edge. With a running stitch gather the bottom edge, pull up tight and fasten off, do the same with the top, fill with stuffing.

    

   

    

   Step 2: take the string ( use it double if you want to), start at the top and go through the middle, out at the bottom and then back in at the top ( so the string shows on the outside of the pumpkin, repeat this 6 times, making sure the 'segments' are equally spaced.

    

   

    

   Step 3: take the fabric for the stork, fold in half and sew then turn right side out, stuff and sew the bottom edge. And then with a hot glue gun (you can sew if you'd rather) stick the stork in the top of the pumpkin. You can always make different sizes, have a look at the ones below, I even made one using hologram fabric!

3. October Free Project - Halloween Bag

   Posted on 7:52am Monday 24th Sep 2012

   Hi everyone, yes we know it's a little early, but we are super excited about this cute halloween bag we have decided to share it with you early! This is a really quick project to do, so simple and versatile. We used the A4 Dovecraft felt for this project. You can find all of our felt products here. For this project you will need, some orange & black felt, scissors, 50cm of ribbon, and you can either machine sew or hand sew this!

   Step 1: Cut 2 pieces of orange felt 13.5cm x 13.5cm. And cut 3 pieces into 13.5cm x 4cm wide.

   

   Step 2: Sew the 3 small pieces of felt together, this will form the base and sides of the bag.

   

   Step 3: Draw your favourite halloween shape (we chose a pumpkin) cut 1 from black felt. Then either sew or glue this onto one of the large orange panels.

   

   

   Step 4: Matching the narrow strip to the front panel, line up the corners and pin. Then machine or hand sew over the edge, then cut the 50cm piece of ribbon in half, and sew on two handles to the bag.
