These pumpkin pillows were such a fun little project. Since there was no machine sewing, I could work on them in the living room while chatting with my family.
I've got to credit JoAnn, the craft store, because I got the idea from some decorative fabric pumpkins they were selling this fall. Giant stuffed fabric yo-yos: that's all these pillows are. To make the stems I cut a circle out of fabric and cinched it somewhere in the middle with a piece of twine, then tucked it into the hole. I was going to hand tack the stems in place, but the fabric I used has a pile and held itself in place pretty well. If I don't have to work, I'm not going to, so... nope, the stems aren't even sewn on.
My family actually treated them like pillows; they got mashed into the couch and sat upon, so they needed a little "fixing" now and then. I made these primarily to use up some fabric and stuffing that's taking up precious space in my room, but now my family wants me to save the pillows for next fall. They're cute and all, but I consider things like this to be disposable...
