Step Two: Cut through both layers of fabric.
Step Three: Unfold your fabric and you will have a cute little pumpkin. Don't try to be precise when you are drawing and cutting your pumpkins. Pumpkins come in different shapes and sizes -there is no perfect pumpkin. Just have fun with it!
Steps Four and Five: Pin your two pumpkin pieces together. Burlap doesn't have a "right side", so just pin them together as is. Sew your two pieces together using a very short stitch. Burlap has a tendency to fray easily so keep your stitch small to prevent fraying. Leave a 3 - 4 inch opening at the bottom of the pumpkin so that you can stuff it with polyfil later.
Steps Six and Seven:(Sorry about the lighting! I guess I shouldn't have used my flash!) Cut out the face of your jack-o-lantern on freezer paper (found by the aluminum foil in your grocery store). Using an Exacto knife, cut out the image. Again, have fun and be creative!
Step Eight: Iron your pumpkin face to your fabric. Freezer paper has a thin layer of wax on one side of the paper. You want the shiny side to lay against your fabric. Place your iron on the non-shiny side.
