Putting Pumpkins Together

The medium pumpkin gets sewn to the small pumpkin, and the large pumpkin is sewn to the medium pumpkin. Take the last row of stems and sew to the back of the bottom of the corresponding pumpkins.

If you are making this for Halloween, you can add facial features to your pumpkin or leaves for a Fall decoration.
