13 Pretty Fabric Pumpkins to Make for Fall

You can always tell when it’s about to be fall because you start seeing pumpkins everywhere! Pumpkin flavored coffees, pumpkin desserts, and of course people decorating their homes with pumpkins. Plastic pumpkins, foam pumpkins, and of course my favorite are little fabric pumpkins decorating tabletops and mantels. Fabric pumpkins allow for a wide range of patterns and textures that are sure to match any décor style. And they’re easy to sew, which is always a plus. We’ve rounded up 13 pretty fabric pumpkins you can make for fall. So if you’re thinking you might want to make some fabric pumpkins for your space, scroll on for some cute fabric pumpkins you can DIY.

I’m sure you’ll find at least one or two you want to make! There are so many cute ways to make a fabric pumpkin. And because pumpkins work for both Halloween and general autumn decorating, you can keep them out throughout the season.

There is a certain kind of sewing pattern that makes you start mentally matching fabrics before you have even finished reading the description. You know the type — relaxed shapes, clever details, pockets if the sewing gods are smiling, and just enough room for you to use that fabric you bought “for something special” three years ago.

That is exactly where Matchy Matchy Sewing Club seems to have found its sweet spot.

This indie sewing pattern brand has been getting more attention lately, and it is not hard to see why. The patterns feel cheerful, wearable, and creative without looking overly complicated. They have that handmade wardrobe energy sewists love right now: loose dresses, easy tops, patchwork details, everyday pants, quilted pieces, and garments that look like they were designed for real life rather than a mannequin who has never sat down.

What makes Matchy Matchy Sewing Club especially appealing is that it does not feel intimidating. The designs have personality, but they still look achievable. They invite you to play with fabric, mix prints, use scraps, and sew clothes that feel comfortable enough for the school run, the craft room, the market, or a lazy Sunday spent pretending you are only “tidying” the fabric stash.

And really, that is a big part of the current handmade wardrobe trend. Sewists are not just looking for another plain sewing pattern. They want pieces that feel personal. They want PDF sewing patterns that are beginner-friendly but still interesting. They want garments that let fabric choices shine, especially if there is a chance to use up those beautiful leftovers we keep folding neatly and then never touching again.

Matchy Matchy Sewing Club taps into all of that beautifully.
