10 Pumpkin Projects

to sew for fall

It’s time to spice things up with pumpkin projects that are easily doable before Halloween and last long after into the fall season.

Pumpkin Carving

Ok, so this one doesn’t involve sewing. But, you CAN use your sewing supplies to help carve adorable pumpkins with ease! Simply use Sulky Stick ‘n Carve™ to transfer your pumpkin design straight to the gourd, and cut right through it. Just like Sulky Stick ‘n Stitch™, Stick ‘n Carve is water-soluble, so it washes away completely when carving is complete.

Create a lovely fall scene to hang in your kitchen or living room. The Simply Appliqué Fall kit includes the laser-cut appliqué pieces you need to start fusing and sewing immediately.
