Tutorial: Striped fabric pumpkins in three sizes

Bev from Flamingo Toes shows how she created these striped fabric pumpkins. They’re soft fabric pumpkins cinched in at each stripe to create ridges like you’d find on a real pumpkin. She gives dimensions to make them in three sizes. You can use any type of fabric for this. Most of hers are made with quilting cottons, though I did spy one in the set that has a bit of white lace layered over a black fabric. This would also be pretty out of different suiting prints!
