Tips for sewing a pumpkin with Cuddle® minky plush fabric
- Choose a Cuddle® 3 for easier construction, but don’t be afraid of using a Luxe Cuddle® to make it extra fun and fluffy.
- Try pinning parallel for the ¼” seams. If you pin perpendicular, make sure to pin often to avoid the layers shifting away from each other.
- Use felt or two layers of Cuddle® 3 for the leaves.
- Use felt or one layer of Cuddle® 3 sewn into a tube for the stem.
- Mix and match the fabrics for a fun, textural display.
