Make your own pattern on newsprint by drawing around a dinner plate (12” diameter.). Widen to 14” on the sides to create a fat oval pumpkin shape. Draw a tall rectangle in the top middle that is 5” high and 3” wide for the stem. The top of the stem will be placed on the fold of the white Roc-lon® MPC. Cut around the pattern with scissors. Open out.

Place the stem section of the Roc-lon® MPC cut-out on back of Green Vine Print and trace stem area (10” x 3”). Cut out.

Sew Orange Leaf Print to both ends of stem (right sides together). Open out. Lay Roc-lon® MPC cut-out on top of right side of calico. Cut around entire two-pumpkin-shapes-joined-by-stem.

Sew along top edge of one pumpkin shape, down the stem and along the top of the pumpkin on other side using ¼” seam allowance. Repeat on other side of stem. Turn right side out. Iron.

Sew around calico (right sides together) to make the lining pocket using ½” seam allowance.

Push lining pocket up out of the way, and sew around the
