, by . Leave a Comment

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.

Perfect Pattern Matching: Plaids, Stripes And Beyond

In this class, popular sewing instructor Amy Alan is here to help you create garments that look better than anything you’ll find on the rack. She starts by showing you how to choose the right sewing pattern for plaids, stripes, or prints and how to estimate the yardage you’ll need. From there, she guides you through the process of tracing your pattern pieces to ensure that your patterns match across seams.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Amy takes you beyond the basics of pattern matching and shows you how to identify the type of stripes or plaids you’re working with, and how to create pattern layouts for matching these and other patterns with confidence. And for those who want to go the extra mile, Amy even shows you how to use the bias grain of your fabric to create pockets, plackets, and cuffs.

With step-by-step guidance on how to match patterns as you sew straight seams, curved seams, and even invisible zipper seams, this class is the ultimate guide to perfect pattern matching. So, whether you’re an experienced sewer or just starting out, this tutorial will help you take your skills to the next level.

Amy Alan is a talented instructor who teaches sewing at Modern Domestic in Portland, Ore., and blogs at Really Handmade. She’s been crafting since she was a child and has always had a passion for turning the everyday into art. So, what are you waiting for? Join Amy in the “Perfect Pattern Matching: Plaids, Stripes & Beyond” video tutorial and start creating garments that are truly one-of-a-kind!
