Pumpkin Patch

I found a large quantity of the fabric used for this project on super clearance. Since it was on sale, of course I had to buy it thinking there would be a use for it someday.
Years later, I got the idea of making a pumpkin patch with my second grade class. As I was looking for fabric, I remembered that orange circle fabric I had in my stash.
The students drew pumpkins on paper and traced around with sharpie on fabric. I cut these out with a pinking shears and sewed around , leaving an opening for stuffing.
The students stuffed these pumpkins with pillow stuffing. I sewed the openings together.
Students glued on felt eyes, nose, etc.
