Step 1

Using basic shapes like ovals, circles and triangels, cut out one pumpkin front and two pumpkin backs from orange felt. Cut the pumpkin face pieces from black felt, and cut the stem from green felt.

Step 2

Stitch the face pieces onto the front piece using three strands of black floss and straight stitch.

Step 3

With the pumpkin facedown, place the two back pieces on the back so that the outside edges line up and the center edges overlap. Position the stem at the top, between the front and back layers. Pin the layers in place.

Step 4

Stitch around the pumpkin shape using six strands of yellow embroidery floss and straight stitch. Be sure to catch the stem in your stitching.

Step 5

Fill the pouch with treats (or maybe even a little trick!).
