How to make a pumpkin from fabric. Pumpkin crafts: step-by-step master classes, photos

Pumpkin. Just a pumpkin. But cute!)))

Pumpkin dimensions: Petal 9 x 23 cm, stem - see drawing.

If we take the ratio of sizes a to b equal to 1 to 3, then we get an even ball, an ordinary ball is round. And if the ratio is changed in the direction of decreasing the height, then a flatter product is obtained.

Work order: 1. First, sew three parts together, alternating colors so that the pairs are opposite in the finished pumpkin. Then assemble the halves together, starting from one “tail” of the pumpkin to the other, leaving 4-5 centimeters short on each side. The hole will look like at the bottom of the pumpkin. You can do it on the side, but on the bottom it will be less noticeable. Through this hole, turn the pumpkin inside out and stuff it, after cutting off the seam allowance close to the seam. Where there is a hole, do not cut off excess fabric, otherwise it will be difficult to sew up. The numbers in the figure show the stitching order. We sew the green lines by machine, leave the red ones unsewn, and then finish them by hand with a blind seam after stuffing.

2. Now we need a long needle. Take the yarn suitable color(or cotton twine, or some other lace that suits your opinion), thread a double thread into the needle and begin to wrap around the pumpkin. The algorithm is like this. Where you have the bottom of the pumpkin, stick a needle, if it’s long, then immediately bring it up through the pumpkin, if it’s short, flatten the pumpkin as best you can, pierce it so that the needle appears, and grab it with pliers to pull it out. If you have a short needle, you will need an assistant, because it will be difficult to cope with the task alone.

Wrap a thread around each slice in the middle, returning to the bottom and tying the ends of the threads. When all the slices are tied, gather all the ends of the threads into a bundle and trim. trim it - you get the same dried flower that the pumpkin bloomed with in the spring.))

3. Cut out the stem and manually stitch along the dotted lines using a needle-forward stitch as follows.

Fold a thread of a suitable color into four times.2. Start sewing from the wide part to the narrow part.3. First iron the tucks along the dotted line with your finger on the table - this is enough to see where to sew the stitching. The tucks face OUT!4. The stitch width is small - approx. 0.25 cm.5. Just leave the ends of the threads dangling without tying a knot - we will need them later.

4. Then sew the stem with a blind seam, tucking the seam allowances inward. Take a double thread, but you can also fold it in four - so that it doesn’t accidentally break when pulled together. Sew from the narrow part to the wide one - then simply pull the thread up to the narrow tip, so that you can then tighten the seam and gather it.

Fold the seam allowance along the widest part of the stem and baste it onto a live thread so that it does not dangle and become distracting. Place the stem on the pumpkin, pin it in place, and blind stitch it to the pumpkin.

5. Stuff the stem through the narrow upper hole, distributing the holofiber along the entire length. And here we need the threads that we left hanging on each seam. Take these threads, including the thread from the hidden seam, which are closer to this very seam, and begin to pull them up, gathering the stem and giving it as curved a shape as you want. Once you have achieved the desired look, tie each thread into a knot to secure the shape and cut off the tip. Then fold the seam allowance of the top hole inward, shape it flat, and blindstitch the edges. The stalk is ready.

We invite you to decorate your house for Halloween with your own hands. This project is not as simple as, but by doing it, you will not only gain cute decorative pumpkins in your home, but also confidence in your decorating abilities!

You will need:

1. Fabric (it is not necessary to use orange fabric, you can use absolutely different colors and patterns)
2. Scissors
3. Rope (thick thread)
5. Thread and needle
8. Filler (you can use synthetic filler or any other)

Instructions

Step 1: Using scissors, cut a piece of fabric that will soon turn into an adorable decorative pumpkin. A simple rule applies to the size of this piece of fabric: the width of the piece should be twice the length. You can make a composition from both identical and different sized pumpkins. Fold the fabric in half, right side inward. At a distance of 1 cm, draw a line from the right and top edge. Make seams along the lines.

Step 2: When you sew to the end of the top line, do not cut the thread. You need to pull the thread, tightening it and gathering the seam. Make a few stitches to secure it in this position. Turn the resulting pouch out.

Step 3: Fill the bag with filler. It is desirable that the filler be homogeneous. Make another seam along the edge of the bag, which will also need to be tightened. When tightening the thread, guide the edge of the fabric inward. Once the thread is pulled tight enough, secure it in that position with a few stitches.

Step 4: Take a thick thread or rope and a large needle. Insert the needle into the bottom base of the pumpkin and pull it up. This will give it a more flattened shape, and also make the first turn in wrapping the rope around the bag to give shape to the sections of the future pumpkin. The number of sections depends on the size of your pumpkin, as a rule, it should be about 6-8.
Step 5: Secure the rope.

Step 6: All that remains is to make a cutting to make the pumpkin look more natural. To do this, cut out 2 identical oval-shaped pieces from fabric (you can take fabric with a different pattern).
Fold them right sides inward and sew along the outline, leaving the bottom edge open.
Turn the fabric inside out and place the filling inside. Sew up the bottom edge. Next, sew the stem to the pumpkin.

Step 7: That's all, your decorative pumpkin is ready!
