Easy Pumpkin Pot Holder Sewing Pattern
Supplies Needed:
Medium weight cotton fabric for the potholder front and back- 1/4 yard.
A small piece of green cotton fabric for the pumpkin stem.
100% cotton batting- 1/4 yard.
Sewing Notions.
Pumpkin Template.
Gather your supplies.
Cut the pumpkin template and place it over the fabric.
Draw around the fabric and cut to get the front piece of the potholder. Repeat to get the back piece of the potholder. You need to cut two pieces from the batting too.
Your pieces would look like this once cut.
Also cut a 5” x 2” rectangle from your green fabric.
1) Fold one of the long edges of the green fabric piece by 1/2- inch towards the center and press. 2) Fold the other edge by 1/2 inch and press once more. 3) Fold it lengthwise in half once again and press to set. 4) Next, fold it to get two equal halves. Your pumpkin stem is ready.
Take one of the pumpkin pieces and pin the stem at the top center, on the right side of the fabric. * Make sure to catch both edges of the loop while you pin.
Next, place the potholder back over the front, with the right sides together, followed by the two batting pieces. Make sure that the edges are lined up correctly.
Pin or clip around the edges.
Sew around the edges, leaving a gap of about 2- inches to bring the right side out.
Notch out the curve with the help of your scissors.
Pull the right side out through the opening.
Keep pulling till the whole of the potholder is turned inside-out. Pull out the stem taut and press to make it clean and crisp.
Tuck in the raw edges of the opening and topstitch all around.
Next, we sew over the pumpkin to make the segments.
You may either trace the segment lines from the template or draw them yourself.
Sew along the lines to mark the segments and your pumpkin potholder is ready for use.
