Pumpkin mat

In honor of Halloween weekend, here is a fun pumpkin project.

Supplies:

• 1/2 yard Orange fleece fabric
• 1/2 yard fabric interfacing - iron on (fusible)
• Pumpkin outline
• White or orange thread

Instructions:
Print out or draw a pumpkin outline.  I used Adobe Illustrator to make a 4 page large pumpkin that I taped together.  Lay out the orange fleece fabric.  Place a piece of interfacing on top, and fold or place another piece of orange fleece fabric on top of it.

Add the pumpkin pattern and pin all the layers together.  You'll want to pin outside the pumpkin and inside the pumpkin so it is still pinned once you cut the outside off.

Cut to the pattern.

Take the bottom layer and the interfacing, and iron the interfacing on.  The shiny side of the interfacing should be against the fabric.

Place the other piece of fleece back on top of the interfacing, and zizag stitch or serge the edges.

And that's it, you're done!  Now you have a cute pumpkin mat that could be used on a table, as a hanging, or any other way you could think of!
