They are adorable with the textured fabric! I make mine with regular quilting fabric, cut a large circle and do a running stitch along the top edge and pull it in like a gathering move? then I stuff it full as I can (they eat up TONS of fiber fill) and then tighten the top as best I can and knot it off. Then I run yarn in an over the top cross it, other direction etc til I have done eight segments of pumpkin sides. I use a stick from the yard broken off to be the stem, hot glue, some silk leaves from an inexpensive bunch from the craft store and tada! pumpkin. I am sure there is a real pattern but I havent found one yet. These look like there was serious sewing time into them which for that deserves oodles of koodos. Today I made three, on the couch watching tv. They look great in a basket by the door. I would love to see everyones pumpkin creations so POST!!!
