You can make any size by her simple instructions. This looks so fun...I think I'll do it with my Grandkids!!

For all the people who asked for the pattern without reading the thread

Well, thanks for sharing. Never would have thought about making pumpkins out of chenille. You're a crafty lady. LOL

Well I'm ready to make them but one problem - I can't find orange chenille- I'll use material for my first try. My daughter wants some also, so now I have to make them. I guess you just use "whatever" to stuff them.

Have you ever tried to make chenille fabric? It is easier than you'd think; LOTS of books & instructions available, and it's a great way to use up fabrics that may not appeal to you anymore. I learned from several books I checked out from the library, but here's a really quick rundown:
