Tutorial: Fabric pumpkins & a molded fabric candy bowl

Cheryl from Sew Can Do shares two Halloween sewing tutorials in one post – how to make a molded fabric bowl and how to make fabric pumpkins. The molded fabric bowl uses a heat moldable stabilizer to shape the bowl. I had never heard of such a material before, but according to her post it’s a thick stabilizer that is moldable when heated and becomes rigid when cool. Oh. WOW. How cool is that? You could put candy treats in the bowl, or use it as a catch-all by the door for keys and change.
