Little Pumpkin

So I mentioned yesterday that I made the big pumpkin over the weekend but last night, I made my little pumpkin (you can get the link to the pattern in the previous post). This is how it turned out (next to the big pumpkin and a spool of thread so you can get an idea of just how little this is!)

In comparison to the big pumpkin, it was harder but it just took a bit to get the hang of sewing the smaller pieces. I still needed help putting the floss over the sections to create the plump look but I think it ended up worth it. I also liked that I used an alternating pattern even though it took a little extra work (I had to redo some seams because when sewing, I put the wrong piece on top and then it wouldn't've turned out every other). I also still prefer the look of the brown stem but that's of course personal preference (the pattern recommends a green stem).
