			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/SOlPZw7SDyI/AAAAAAAAAk4/0QySjGPgcdk/s1600-h/IMG_1824.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/SOlPZw7SDyI/AAAAAAAAAk4/0QySjGPgcdk/s320/IMG_1824.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253817744353267490" border="0" /></a>Thank you so much everyone for all your comments! I appreciate all of them! I&#8217;ve worked out an alternate top for the fabric pumpkin pattern. This top involves much less hand stitching, well, actually none. If you don&#8217;t remember how to do a blanket stitch, or want to get your cute little pumpkins done faster than this pattern is for you!</p>
<p>Download <a href="http://erinschlosser.googlepages.com/pumpkintopalt.pdf">here</a>.</p>
<p>It also involves some slight changes when you&#8217;re sewing your pumpkin.  The changes are as follows:</p>
<p>Once you get your pieces cut out, sew them together so you have two groups of three pieces.  This will give you two halves of the pumpkin.  Below is one half of the pumpkin.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/SOlPaS0UopI/AAAAAAAAAlA/DMkDKUE7fLc/s1600-h/IMG_1819.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/SOlPaS0UopI/AAAAAAAAAlA/DMkDKUE7fLc/s320/IMG_1819.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253817753450881682" border="0" /></a>Then, sew up the stem with right sides facing each other.  Clip the corners and turn right side out.  Stuff the pumpkin stem and then pin it in between your two halves of the pumpkin.  This is shown below.  It&#8217;s a little hard to see, but the stuffed pumpkin stem is between the two halves there.</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/SOlPaYwWr2I/AAAAAAAAAlI/KFWu2gs01H0/s1600-h/IMG_1823.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G7UUQWYQHfI/SOlPaYwWr2I/AAAAAAAAAlI/KFWu2gs01H0/s320/IMG_1823.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253817755044851554" border="0" /></a><br />Then sew along the edges and turn your pumpkin right side out.  You&#8217;re pumpkin will now have a little stuffed stem on top.  Continue to follow the rest of the instructions from the original post <a href="http://schlosserdesigns.blogspot.com/2008/09/tutorial-fabric-pumpkins.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>*Also included in the pattern above is an alternate felt pumpkin stem pattern that is more straight. <br />Enjoy!</p>

I found this awesome clear transparency &#8220;paper&#8221; from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hambly</span> Prints (I love <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hambly</span> Prints!) and thought it would look really <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">fallish</span> with an orange background.  Is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">fallish</span> a word?  Anyway, here are the directions:</p>
<p>Cut a 12&#8243; long, 1 1/2&#8243; wide strip of the orange paper.  Cut in half and this will be the base for two napkin rings.<br />
Cut a 12&#8243; long, 1&#8243; wide strip of the transparency paper.  Cut this one in half as well.</p>
<p>From here, you can make the more modern one, or the one with the ribbon.</p>
<p>Modern:  Wrap around and staple.  All done!</p>
<p>Ribbon:  Set two eyelets about 1/4&#8243; inside of the ends.  Tie with a coordinating ribbon.  Done!</p>
<p>These will make great, simple party decorations.  Use Halloween paper, or bold geometric paper for a birthday!  If your napkins are patterned, try using a colored vellum&#8230; that way you get a little of the pattern showing through.<br />
Happy Crafting!</p>
